—Third child and second son of the four children of Annie Novella (Gammon) and Victor

about me.

State, United States of America, Hartsville, Trousdale County, Tennessee, to be more
to be more exact).

Newman College (Tennessee).
—Sometime researcher, writer and author of articles, books, and monographs on
economics and regional history and geography.
—Avid reader of maps, histories, Americana, including children’s books.
—Avid church Sunday School participant.
—Had a vision that the Lord God was apparently a Musician and definitely a Comedian,
but that I should be more humble.
—Stayed out of trouble for a long time.

banana vanilla pudding (butterscotch is not so bad either), and ice cream; and dislikes
