I'm from Catawba, Virginia and graduated and retired from Virginia Tech. I currently reside in Greensboro, North Carolina with my wife Tina and our pup Chloe where I pastor a small Church. I have written the first book ever about the people and places of Catawba, Virginia. My interests include throwing the shot put and discus in Master's track and field events.

Valleys….
Thank you Libby in Alabama. I do appreciate you taking time to comment, and very pleased that you enjoy my writings. This is a heartfelt passion for me to write about people, places and events in the Catawba Appalachians. Life in Catawba and in Craig county in the late 1800s and early 1900s would be almost identical. I am writing a full post on Craig County which will publish later this month. Later in the year I will do a post on Paint Bank which you probably know is also Craig County. Please let your cousins, uncle and friends in and around Craig County know about the Echoes website and my first book: Echoes From Catawba Volume 1. The Emporium in New Castle is carrying the book and can be purchased there. It is a real joy to hear from you.—–Ted
