Forty years at the plant
Loyal, hard working
Just like his father

Shop foreman, pro-union
Supported his family
Took pride in his work

Two months before retirement
The plant closed, company moved
Laid off

Forty years at the plant
Unlike his father
No pension, no employment

Betrayed, angry, disillusioned,
Lost

Peter Blau works with students of all ages. He believes everyone has a story to tell and the goal in his teaching is to help his students discover their unique voice and style as they tell those stories with their writing. To him, writing is more than just a means to an end, but it is the end in itself.
