Rocky River, Ohio: The Remarkable Story of a Quintessential American Suburb - Hardcover

by Doug Kurkul (Author)

In Rocky River, Ohio: The Remarkable Story of a Quintessential American Suburb, author Doug Kurkul presents the fascinating story of a lakefront community that has established an especially high quality of life - in education, culture, safety, recreation and convenience. Kurkul's narrative brings the story to life, illustrating how local citizens have repeatedly drawn upon vision, perseverance and unity to address every challenge. Serendipitously, the Rocky River story involves everyone from a disgraced British military officer to the captain of The Edmund Fitzgerald to an inventor of Mister Coffee; and from three U.S. Presidents to Amelia Earhart, Arnold Palmer, George Steinbrenner, Vernon Stouffer, an MTV VJ, professional athletes and a recent Olympic gold medalist.
