Garrett Williams, aka John Ed Garrett, was born and nurtured in Springfield, Tennessee, and has lived most of his adult years in the Madison Community of Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee. He was a four-decade career educator with the Metro Nashville Public School District as a special needs classroom teacher, coach, guidance counselor, supervisor, and H.R. Director for the Secondary Schools. He married his high school sweetheart, the former Jo Ann Adams, and they have two children and six grandchildren. Ed's talents beyond the classroom have awarded him U.S. patents and copyrights for intellectual property creations including a public television multi-media production, two personal books, and ghost writings resulting in four additional published books and numerous magazine and newspaper articles. His pseudonym as a writer is Garrett Williams, the surnames in honor of his father and mother. I have known him in diverse roles for over 50 years and have utilized his knowledge and skills along with that of the forthcoming Nancy Arnold in the publishing of two books, viz. A Journey to Remember and Unstable Times-Unlikely Outcomes. With admiration, I call Ed a "wordsmith." You will enjoy his clever imagination and creative contributions to this book. -author Jack Van Hooser See less
