Author to present at breakfast

Local Author Nick Hoffman will speak at the next meeting of the Tyrone Chamber breakfast at 7:30 a.m. Nov. 4 at the Bullpen Restaurant.

As a former local reporter and newspaper editor for more than 30 years, he will share about his heartbreaks, sorrows and joys throughout his life to get to where he is today. He will talk about his life journey and how he has not walked alone and how none of us do life by oneself.
