Meet Richard Skorupski

After a 21 year career in the U.S. Navy, Richard returned home to his native state of New Jersey. He followed his passion for the open waters and started a second career in the marine parts business.

However, the dense population of New Jersey and its high cost of living compelled Richard and his wife, Cheryl, to find a more peaceful and friendly environment for his second retirement. The couple now happily reside in Spink County, South Dakota.

His new Book “Becoming One” is an Historical Novel.

In the year 1930, Delia has lost her husband and is on the brink of losing her farm. To make matters worse, she may have to give her only son to her sister for upbringing. Peter, who has been hit hard by the death of his wife, is looking for ways to support his two daughters. Unfortunately, the stock market crash has caused the tire plant where he worked to stop production and he has lost his job due to the layoffs. Peter was the brother of Delia’s husband, Paul. With no benefit in staying in Akron, Peter writes to Delia suggesting that they combine their families in a marriage of convenience. Delia agrees, and the story begins with her meeting the train and her soon-to-be husband. Can they work together to raise three children who have never met before? Will their marriage of convenience give them a second chance at happiness?

In this episode Richard and I discuss why he decide to write another Historical Novel and why he loves to write. Richard became an author in retirement. Terry hopes that Richard will inspire other boomers to write a book if that is a dream they have always had. Richard also writes about middle America after moving to South Dakota and loving it.

Lots of research goes into every novel but Richard really enjoys this aspect of writing.

My name is Terry Lohrbeer and I am your host for Kickass Boomers. I am 74 years young.

I started Kickass Boomers to fulfill a dream to inspire and teach others like the all-time great Zig Ziglar.

While it didn’t happen when I was young, as I got older, I realized that nothing was holding me back. So, as I enter my 7th decade of living, I am re-inventing myself to become a podcaster.
