Douglas Hergert has been a writer all of his professional life. His latest writing projects include a newspaper column and a first novel. He has published three collections of his "essays," which originated as newspaper columns: "Do I Know You? and Other Stories from the Rossmoor News"; "Can't Get It in France: More Stories from the Rossmoor News"; and "Bring Out the Accordions: Another Year of Stories from the Rossmoor News."
