Synopsis
Dugan Damron was born Raymond Gary Damron in a small southern Illinois town located on the Ohio River. He moved to a farm in Shetlerville when he was four years old and lived there for eight years. Most of his writings of Old Shorty come from that experience of living on the farm. After moving to the big city (approx. 1400 residents), he quickly hooked up with athe boys from Frogtown, a Eddie #1, Bobbie, and Eddie #2. Later, much later, Dugan moved to Montreal, Canada, attended McGill University and taught high school for several years. He now resides and works in Raleigh, North Carolina. aWriting has always been a desire of mine, and, while sitting out on the screened in porch, during those lazy summer afternoons telling stories to my grandson and granddaughters, Old Shorty was born.a
