Meet Author Bill Truran

Local Franklin Author Bill Truran Class of '69

Have you ever thought about writing a book? FHS alum Bill Truran did more than think about it…he is the author of six books (and counting!) about Wallkill Valley history and events.

If you don’t know him, Bill grew up in Franklin and is Class of ’69. We asked him if he could brings some of his books to the all-class picnic. Drop by the Class of ’74 table, meet Bill, and check out some of his books about the area. (Spoiler alert: there is a great chapter about the history of Franklin School in the book Franklin, Hamburg, Ogdensburg, and Hardyston.)
