Fred Ohles began writing plays in retirement, after a career in higher education. In addition to his playwriting, he is working on two books currently: a community history of philanthropy, which has been commissioned by the Lincoln (Nebraska) Community Foundation, and a reflection on his own fascination and experiences with word puzzles. He is the author of three published works - a translation from German of reflections on wage labor in 1910s Australia; a history of political censorship in early 19th-century Germany, based on archival research; and with two co-authors (including his mother), a biographical dictionary in American educational history.
