The likelihood of meeting folks like Ziggy the bartender, Wheatbread, the Kipp brothers (Bob, Beau, Ben, Buford, Bart, and Bill), Hillary Grogan the Mexican beauty, or Presidential Gene in a Middleton bar or in any village bar is quite high. Truth is they reside in Delmar Center, frequent the "Brandy Station, and color the pages of "Last Man Tales," a fictional series of vignettes about small town life in the Midwest. The author is Bill Dries, Middleton businessman and owner of Blitz Publishing Company on High Point Road.
