"I was born in 1936 in a house right on Main St. in West Jefferson, graduated from WJHS Class of '54. I have always been interested in the history of West Jefferson. In 1960, I decided to write a complete history of the town. I worked on this for a number of years, finally getting up to 1935 and ran out of steam. I get most of the history from history books and from the Madison County newspapers from 1855 on. I have all of these stories, and now that there is no Madison Press, there's no way for people to read them. I find them very interesting, and I think that you will also."
