Despite being in his 80s, this week's very special guest has shown no signs of slowing down . . .and as proof, he became a published author just last year!! Introducing Bill Burton, a Henderson native who graced us in 2025 with a novel entitled "Turn A Blind Eye". This book opens our eyes and minds to Mr. Burton's childhood, when Henderson was commonly referred to as "Little Chicago". Join Bill as he sheds light on the (technically) illegal activity that often went unpunished in Henderson during the 40s and 50s, which ultimately served as the inspiration behind his recent written work. He'll also discuss other aspects of his Henderson upbringing, his career background, and the spark behind his desire to write a book as a retiree. Finally, he offers a brief preview of the characters and plot awaiting us in the novel. So enjoy soaking up the story of the brilliant Bill Burton . . .and after listening intently to the man himself, be sure to purchase your copy of "Turn A Blind Eye" by simply visiting the web page linked here: https://www.turnablindeyenovel.com/.
