The author of "I Built That! And So Can You," Roger Hoover, pictured next to Vick Mickunas.

Roger Hoover sent me an email to ask if I wanted to read the book he has
written? Roger has been involved in the fabrication and installation of
sheet metal all over our region for over half a century and he is still
doing it.

I knew nothing about this subject before I read his book. Now I know a
little bit. Hoover knows a lot. Listen to this interview to hear his
wisdom and his advice. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting him and am so glad
he contacted me about his memoir.

The Book Nook airs Saturdays at 7 a.m. and Sundays at 10:30 a.m. on WYSO 91.3 FM and streams at WYSO.org or wherever you get your podcasts.
