Blue Collar Folks

The author has taught science and mathematics for many years on the high school and college levels. His approach to teaching is to make abstract principles concrete by connecting them to real life experiences. The students ought to come away with facts and ideas, the ability to solve problems, and make ethical decisions. This book is about the workaday experiences of a teach- er doing manual labor repairing old houses with a close knit group of blue collar folks. It is the fourth book of the Tom Haley quartet: 1950s-1960s Fable, 1960s-1970s Fable, The Mariners Mariners Harbor Messiah, and Blue Collar Folks.
