Bert Adams is a marvelously skilled maintenance technician at a bustling Ohio factory. But mysteriously he falls into a deep depression and is unable to work. The effect on the company is catastrophic. Without Bert's unique fix it talents, productivity drops sharply and the company's biggest client threatens to do business elsewhere.
The company president, an unlikable all business tyrant, comes to realize that unless he makes a personal connection with his key employee and solves the mystery of what ails him, the company will go bankrupt. In desperation, he turns to a zany but intuitive theater actress for help. The actress, taking cues from the Old Testament story of Elijah, is led to a 91 year old resident in a nursing home. This elderly stranger surprisingly provides the answers they need.
In the end, both Bert Adams and the company president are healed.
Although raised in New Jersey Mr. Russell worked for 25 years in California as a computer specialist and technical writer. Upon returning to NJ his interests changed markedly to the artistic pursuits of music and short story writing. He became a church organist, music composer, and bass singer with several choral groups. He had the honor of singing Handel's Messiah at Carnegie Hall several times with the NJ Masterwork Chorus. He also organized many mini-concerts for local churches and nursing homes. Mr. Russell also joined an exciting writer's group, honed his writing skills with them for several years, and won first prize in a NJ short story contest.
Mr. Russell makes his debut as a published author with A Good Day For Bert Adams. Although a work of fiction, this story is motivated by a real life experience of the author during his first year following a major cancer surgery.
