Local Author, Ralph Swett, aka Chief Spirit Water of the Clan of the Hawk will be reading from the 'Autobiography of Ralph Swett; Father, Farmer, Native American, Businessman and a Damned-Hard-Working Vermonter" at 2 pm at the Jones Memorial Library in Orleans on February 1st. It is the story of a lifetime resident of Orleans Vermont which spans from the tail end of the Depression of the 1930's to the present day. Ralph's stories are of his farms, family, stores, Native American Group and much more. Though he will be 89 in February, he is still going strong – despite some doctors' dire predictions. Ralph is a three time cancer survivor and still bakes a mean loaf of bread! As a lifelong resident and businessman of the town, county and state, he knows practically everyone within a 50 mile radius. His stories are poignant and funny by turns. Come and join us!
