Please join us in welcoming author Jim Roelofs to the Wadena City Library on Saturday, September 12 at 10:30am. He will present his biography of Buddy Brown, a resident of Pillager, who has led a successful life overcoming poverty and Cerebral Palsy.
“Buddy” is the inspiring true story of how grit, resilience and ingenuity turned hardship into a life of achievement and quiet triumph.
Jim Roelofs is a retired radiologist who met Buddy on a group bicycle ride and was inspired to write this remarkable story.
