Bob Reed

Bob Reed (’76 M.A.), Glen Rose wrote The Red-Winged Blackbird (CreateSpace), a novel about the Colorado coal strike of 1913-14, the bloodiest and costliest labor dispute in American history. He and his wife are traveling to Colorado to give readings and participate in commemorative activities for the centennial this year — April 20 marks the 100th anniversary of the Ludlow Massacre, the event for which the strike is most remembered. They also will give a presentation at Fort Worth's Central Library in August.
