Don Hilton was raised as the second of three sons in a small town in northwest Pennsylvania by a family of unapologetic storytellers and was lucky enough to never quite know if the tales he heard were true.

The only constant has been his storytelling. After more than a half-century of practice he’s developed some talent. He’s still not near as good as the old folks he used to listen to, but he’s getting there.
