The Johnstown Area Heritage Association hosted author Robert Jeschonek on Saturday to give a presentation about his latest book.

The book, titled, ‘Glosser Bros. Holiday Tales’, features a series of fictional stories about the once beloved Glosser Brothers Department Store here in Johnstown.

The author aims to bring back some of the feelings of nostalgia for those that grew up going to the store and also to preserve its memory.

“I love Glosser’s so much and I wanted to try to bring it back to life in some way," said Jeschonek. "I thought, what a great way to do that through these fictional stories. They feature the locations, the settings, and some of the people of the time too. Though they are fictional stories, sometimes they include real people and I thought these are great ways to bring those places and those people back to life in some way, and to reinforce our memories and to unify our voices in talking about tradition.”

You can purchase the book on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or at the Johnstown Area Heritage Association store.
