My Nebraska is intended to romanticize growing up in rural Nebraska by someone who has not lived in the state for about six decades. It will bring back tender memories for anyone who lives in, has lived in or knows someone who has grown up in the state. Nebraska can be overlooked by many in this country, and this book will bring to life the wholesome lifestyle of this area. It may also hit home for other people from rural, small-town settings whose home has been in other states. I hope the book will bring unique perspective and re-kindle a great many memories for people of most any age.

Reviews

“Bob Wirz writes a wistful and endearing love letter to Nebraska filled with memories shared by generations raised in small towns throughout the Midwest.” - Shari R. Veil, University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Journalism and Mass Communications

“As a fellow midwesterner (Iowa), I know how much my roots, family and community mean to me. No one bleeds Nebraska like my mentor and friend Bob Wirz, and he certainly knows how to tell a compelling story.” - Scott Reifert, Senior Vice President, Chicago White Sox

“When we chose Bob Wirz to be a member of the Hall of Fame we knew we had a qualified baseball man and a deeply-rooted Nebraskan as well as a solid wordsmith.” - Ron Douglas, Director, Nebraska Baseball Hall of Fame

“I visit the Sandhills often and each time I drive thru Halsey I reflect to my times spent with Bob Wirz, who once was a resident of this tiny town. Bob is a longtime friend of mine through baseball who has a great passion for our state. I especially enjoy our mutual appreciation of the Sandhills' beauty and uniqueness.” - Jim Abel, Owner, Lincoln Saltdogs Baseball Team

About the Author

A Native Nebraskan raised in the Sandhills village of Halsey, Bob Wirz has been a media specialist in the world of sports for about 60 years, with heavy concentration on professional baseball. Wirz is a graduate of the University of Nebraska, a proud supporter of the school's Department of Mass Communications, and an avid follower of anything in Husker Nation as well as his native state. Bob’s early work experience included six years as publicity director for the Kansas City Royals, and a background in newspaper, radio and television work. One of Wirz’s more intriguing tasks was running Major League Baseball’s media office and serving as chief spokesman for Commissioners Bowie Kuhn and Peter Ueberroth from 1974 to 1985. His duties included coordinating media activities for the annual All-Star Game and World Series. He has run Wirz & Associates, a sports public relations and consulting company, since 1985. He also wrote a column, the Independent Baseball Insider, for a dozen years. Bob published his first book, "The Passion of Baseball", which covers much of his experience in the sport as well as his business life, in 2016. Bob was proudly inducted into the Nebraska Baseball Hall of Fame a short time later. He and his wife Maybeth reside in Stratford, CT. They have four children and five grandchildren.

From a Long Time Hard Sole Dress Shoe Wearer, These are a Must Have!
Size: 12, Color: Blue
I have been wearing hard sole dress shoes for decades and with the full COVID shift to dressing super casual in a professional work environment, I was in the market for some more casual let dressy shoes that were a heck of a lot more comfortable and flexible than my hard soles so I thought I would give this brand and style a try. Oh man, I'm in love. These give you that dressier look yet you can totally dress them down with jeans or cordouroys, so versatile. As I did with my hard soles, I inserted one of my Nike Air in soles and man, these are so comfortable I bought navy and brown! I usually wear these with thin dress socks and they go perfectly with any type of suit set, a no brainer purchase here. I'm a 12 and bought a 12, perfect fit, not to skinny, not to wide, just right. Bottom sole grip is impressive, never felt unstable, solid rubber sole here. I decided to lace them up so there are not tying and the tongue does slip down sometimes so with this feature, best to use a metal shoe horn, then it's super easy to slide them on, they seem to take a beating and remain clean too, I've definitely scuffed them up against many things and still no damage, it's crazy, must have a great finish. NOTE TO Note to MANUFACTURER/SELLER - You need to make a version in GRAY in this specific style and I will buy them instantly, and I assure you they will be incredibly popular! Really not sure why there isn't more colors in these like gray, shades of gray, maybe red, lighter blue and maybe some with different tones in standard colors. Casual dress shoe wearers are looking for new and exciting bold colors so this is the perfect shoe type to deliver on that.

Finally, a dress shoe that actually feels like a sneaker!
Size: 8.5, Color: Dark Brown
I was honestly super skeptical about buying shoes on Amazon, especially "dress sneakers." Usually, they either look incredibly cheap in person or they completely destroy your heels within an hour. I am so glad I took a chance on these Bruno Marcs. I commute to campus and take the bus almost every day, so I end up doing a ton of walking. I needed something that looked sharp and put-together, but I absolutely refused to sacrifice comfort for a long day on my feet. These completely hit the mark. Right out of the box, there was zero break-in period—no stiffness, no pinching, and no blisters. They are incredibly lightweight, and the material actually looks premium, not like that shiny, fake plastic you sometimes get at this price point. The traction on the bottom is surprisingly good too, which is a lifesaver when I'm rushing to catch my bus on rainy mornings. If you’re on the fence, just get them. It’s rare to find a shoe that balances looking professional with feeling exactly like your favorite weekend sneaker. Easily one of the best wardrobe purchases I've made in a while!
