Some say he is actually a fictional character portrayed by Peterborough humorist, storyteller and ne’er do well Ken Sheldon, but investigative research can only be conducted on the erratic schedule of the Frost Heaves Free Library and is so far inconclusive. Clues can be found by searching either’s name on Facebook.
