Autorenporträt
George Ruszat has spent over seven decades happily observing life. He is now writing about the beauty and the absurdity of what he has experienced. And some of what he writes may have a degree of truth. George and his partner Jennifer travel, cycle, study German, and tour major league ballparks. They live in Frederick, Maryland, near the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Nationals, but George's heart remains true to the upper Midwest and the Minnesota Twins.
