About the Book

In his memoir, Crossing Creeks, Bridging Rivers and Laying Cornerstones, Ronald Crutcher writes clever and poignant tales of his life -- some funny, some sad, others illuminating -- but all true and timeless. Readers will see a young Tennessee boy, the first in his family to graduate from high school, confront opportunities and obstacles in the post-World War II era. He reveals in subtle ways just how important it is to keep a steady pace, even when pressure seems overwhelming.

From the tobacco farms of Williamson County, Tennessee to the bay of Cam Ranh in Vietnam to construction project sites throughout Middle Tennessee, Ronald Crutcher recounts the close calls and behind-the-scenes events that he encountered throughout his life. Perhaps the most challenging of these was his one-year assignment in the Middle East.

This book is a sincere recollection of a Southern man's life. It is offered in a humbly written true story that is sure to leave the reader understanding what Ronald Crutcher learned on his journey, and that is that education, friendship, service, family, and loyalty are the most critical components to success.

About the Author: A Williamson County, Tennessee native, Ronald Crutcher is retired from The Parent Company, a construction management firm he helped found in 1984. He was formerly with Foster and Creighton Company, a 100-year-old Nashville-based construction concern, where he helped lead the first major expansion of Vanderbilt Stadium since its establishment in 1923.

He played a major role in the construction of The First American Center in downtown Nashville, at which time a prehistoric cave was discovered during excavation. The relics unearthed in 1971 were secured by archaeologists and later became the inspiration for naming Nashville's professional hockey team, The Predators. His assignment to oversee the expansion of the King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia was his second experience overseas and one that solidified his love of the good old USA.

Beginning in the eighties, he managed the construction of nearly two dozen schools in his home community of Williamson County, as well as the building of a new courthouse. A graduate of Battle Ground Academy and Vanderbilt University School of Engineering, Ronald Crutcher is a Vietnam veteran of the US Army Corps of Engineers. He has volunteered his time and talents to support such non-profits as Habitat for Humanity; The Housing Fund; The Franklin Rotary at Breakfast; the Boys and Girls Club; and Franklin Tomorrow.

He and his wife Joyce reside in Franklin, Tennessee, where they attend Franklin First Presbyterian Church. The couple has two adult daughters, who reside with their respective families in Missouri and Virginia.
