Here is the updated version (with live link!) of the blurb I mistakenly sent out last week.
This story was the most stop-you-in-your-tracks-amazing stories of my trip! It was told by Bill Fields, from Hermann, MO, (and will be featured again as one of the “Stories” when the book comes out). Bill was pressed into service as the town’s Santa Claus one year, with no intention of continuing the job beyond that year. Here, in Bill’s own words, is his story about why he decided to make the role of Santa his avocation. See Santa.
