WordPress Origin Story

Following retirement from UNC Asheville and previous positions at Warren Wilson College, Swannanoa, NC, and UC Irvine, my interests turned to Eastern Kentucky, where I was invited to serve on the BOT of a small historic Settlement School in Harlan County, Kentucky. I was born at the school and was eager to share the remarkable history of the institution with a broader public. With a cousin, Ann Angel, also connected with the School and retired, we began the development of the digital resource associated with the School.
