Jimmy's Paper Route James Curtis Geist

Life is good for 11 year old Jimmy. He likes school, but loves the summertime more. He enjoys friends, day dreaming, fishing, his pet dog, and playing baseball, basketball and football. Jimmy cannot wait until the day he can inherit is brother's paper route. He helps his brother deliver the newspapers on Saturday and Sunday mornings. When his brother Timmy goes to college, Jimmy will inherit the paper route and have extra money in hand to put into savings, with money to go to the movies, to buy some sporting equipment and to be able to buy his family birthday and Christmas presents. James Curtis Geist is a graduate of Nyack College and the Alliance Theological Seminary. He has served as a Protestant minister for five years in New York City and has been a high school history teacher for 16 years. He was voted Teacher of the Year in 2012 and has been an activist addressing the issues of genocide in Sudan, modern day slavery, sweatshops and child labor. Since 2016, Geist has written a Memoir, a book on U. S. History, Global History, the U. S. Presidents, three Children's books and eight books of poetry and anecdotes. He is not related to Bill Geist of CBS or Willie Geist of MsNBC, but wishes he was so he could take advantage of some nepotism into the publishing world. James is married and resides in the woods of Northern New Jersey.
