I was born in 1921 in Jarrell's Valley, W.Va., right in the middle of the famous coal mine war....graduated from Morris Harvey college (now Charleston University) and was a columnist for the Charleston Daily Mail... moved to Florida in 1955... appointed assistant city manager in 1957 and continued city management career in various locales until 1985, then retired.
During the early sixties I was program chair for the Ridge League of Municipalities, an organization of 22 cities in Central Florida who met each month to exchange information of an educational nature. I have been a writer most of my life, starting in high school as sports editor , then in the US Navy as editor of the base newspaper in Coca Solo, Panama.
In addition to writing for the Charleston Daily Mail for five years, I served as municipal reporter for the Lakeland Ledger two years. I have a high regard for the power of words.
