Jon-Richard Little’s father Richard is from Foley Alabama. A man who’s lived many lives, Jon-Richard has been a bicycle punk, a puppeteer, a contraptor, a welder, a reality show star, a roustabout, a toilet technician, a goat farmer, a survivalist, a chauffeur, a gasoline hauler, and is currently the Ambassador of Mirth at Decatur Illinois’ Thinkwell Maker Space.
His book, “The Diary Of Fletcher Ames Hatch”, is a transcription of a family heirloom. Fletcher was the father of Dolly Little (wife of Franklin Eugene Little, of Little’s Repair Shop), the grandmother of both Jon-Richard and his first cousin, Frankie Little of Roosters Tacos & Tequila. In 1906 Fletcher was hired by the Philippine Railway to survey the construction of railroads on the island of Negros Occidental. He kept a daily diary which is a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a colonial surveyor at the dawn of the last century.
