Welcome to Whigville: A Memoir

Welcome to Whigville takes us back to postwar America, into a little Mid-Michigan village the locals called Whigville-a small settlement smackdab in the middle of the arsenals of democracy, Flint and Detroit, and the hometown of young Bob Burek. From sandlot baseball to a lettered career on the manicured diamonds of Central Michigan University, Bob's character was shaped by working-class parents, neighborhood chums, school classmates, and devoted mentors. His education leadership career of nearly 60 years left a legacy of mutual love and devotion between Bob and his students, staff, communities, and of course his family. Welcome to the story of Bob Burek. Welcome to Whigville!
