Bob Wagner is a lifelong South Jersey boy, Pennsauken born and raised. He writes and travels from his home base near the Delaware River with his lovely and long suffering wife, Suzie.
Bob graduated from the “University of Saigon” during the Tet offensive of 1968. After the Army, he settled back down in South Jersey, married his high school sweetheart, and raised three beautiful children, who provided plenty of grandchildren to babysit. While his babysitting career is over, he has filled the void by his cataloging his mountains of “stuff,” accumulated over a misspent lifetime of hobbies.
Retired from thirty plus years of government service, he splits his time between writing, fishing, acting, painting, welding, car collecting, wood working and real estate development. He has always subscribed to the theory “Do one thing, do it well, and move on.” He has, however, never actually done it. Bob continues to write columns and short stories for area papers and magazines.
