 Robert Dean McNeil is a retired Methodist minister and author. He also writes poetry.  Bob McNeil has a new book -- a biography of Clarence True Wilson who considered Gresham his
home. Spirit Press has published a revision of the book first published in 1992 under the title Valiant for Truth. The new addition is titled Clarence Darrow's Unlikely Friend: Clarence True Wilson: Debaters But Always Friends. The book provides a history of Prohibition, and the life of Wilson, who built The Methodist Building in Washington D.C. Wilson debated Clarence Darrow 46 times across the country on the issue of Prohibition. They became best friends. Bob McNeil's research for the book was done with the help of Wilson's daughter, Maribeth Collins, of the Collins Foundation.
