When Ron Richardson was halfway through second grade, his mother got a call from his teacher. "Have you bought Ron's books yet?" she inquired. When his mother said she certainly had, the teacher said, "I don't think Ronnie understands why he is in school.Though classroom studies offered little to interest him, he was always keenly following the details of life in his small Oklahoma town.

When Ron Richardson was halfway through second grade, his mother got a call from his teacher. "Have you bought Ron's books yet?" she inquired. When his mother said she certainly had, the teacher said, "I don't think Ronnie understands why he is in school.Though classroom studies offered little to interest him, he was always keenly following the details of life in his small Oklahoma town. Ron comes from a family of storytellers, and preserving the often-hilarious tales of growing up in the 1940s has become his mission. The characters in this collection of stories come to rollicking life, with a small dose of Ron's imagination, to take you back to Hollis, Oklahoma: a place in time.It's been said that Ron Richardson could find something humorous at an old time hanging. This could be true, even though Ron probably never attended a public hanging. He does have the ability to see humor in some of the weirdest places and events."Horny Toads and Cotton Bolls" is a wild and hilarious ride through Ron's childhood set in the 1940's and 1950's in Hollis, Oklahoma still tucked away in Southwest Oklahoma. If you ever asked someone, "how do you get to Hollis, Oklahoma?" The most likely answer was "You can't get there from here." Most of Ron's family secretly might have thought that Ron bordered on the dull normal because of his lack of interest in school. However when you read his stories, one gets the feeling that there might be just a touch of genius in there somewhere. Morris Hart found a buddy for life in the Hollis Elementry School, and only discovered later he and Ron shared a gift for telling stories. These memories are even more precious now, since Morris passed away January 21st 2018.
