Reviews by Robert McCool
Who says that summer reading has to be as bubbly and frothy as the foam on top of your iced latte?
I find it better to immerse myself in a good story, like my toes being buried in warm beach sand. But with the current covid-19 restrictions on all of us I have to depend on curbside service from my local library, and recommendations from my favorite librarians.
Which brings me to the point of these reviews on two books that I really enjoyed.
Ohio Northern University law graduate Larry N. Heiser was appointed to serve as a judge on the Marion County Family Court, in an announcement made by Governor DeWine's office.
Heiser of Marion, will assume office on July 13, and must run for election on Nov. 3, for the remainder of the term ending Feb. 8, 2023.
Heiser is replacing Judge Deborah Alspach, who retired from the Marion County Family Court on Feb. 1, 2020.
Heiser received his bachelor’s degree from The Ohio State University and his law degree from Ohio Northern University. He currently is in private practice.
