Former Maquoketa teacher Bill Mueller will discuss his book this Thursday at the library

Former Maquoketa Middle School teacher of over 30 years Bill Mueller was on our Just Talk program this morning and discussed the importance of stories and oral traditions.

He will be giving a presentation in Maquoketa this Thursday about his book that highlights this very topic.

Coming from an extremely large family that told countless stories, it instilled in him the importance of maintaining these stories.

From his years as a teacher here in Maquoketa to teaching drivers ed, he gathered many stories himself which he later published in his first book.

If you would like to hear him discuss his 2nd book “Time to Ship Another Steer” then stop by the Maquoketa Public Library this Thursday at 6pm for insight on the importance of stories and storytelling.
