| Introduction | I'm a retired investigative reporter -- a Yankee by most of my upbringing living in the southern mountains. I still write (it clarifies thinking), make jewelry that my wife helps design and that we sell at craft shows, at the Kress Emporium in downtown Asheville, and on Etsy. I am also a woodworker, stoneworker, and stained glass artisan. My wife Pat and I have seven children who we put through college -- then I went back for my bachelor's and master's -- four grandchildren and two more due this summer. |
