Description

Mrs. Barbara JonesI grew up in Lenox, Tennessee, a small farming community in Dyer County.

I was truly a country girl. My Dad was a sharecropper, and my mother worked in a school cafeteria.

We all worked in fields of cotton, corn, and tomatoes. After graduating from Dyersburg High School, I met and married my husband.

He had already received a degree from a Bible College.

We started working on our goals to become teachers. I received my BSE from Bethel University in McKenzie, Tennessee.

We both received our Master's Degree from Memphis State University.

My husband was a minister and a school administrator.

I lost him to cancer in 1995, at the age of 61. I have had a lifelong passion for books. I taught 5th Grade for thirty years. I read to my students for 15 minutes every day after lunch.

Many of my former students have told me that they were inspired to become readers. The Co-writer of this book is a former 5th Grade student dating back to the early 1960's. David E. BrooksI was raised on a farm in a small community called Barbwire, Tennessee.

I chopped cotton, corn, or whatever else Dad had planted.

My mother worked hard raising my five brothers and one sister. After graduating from high school, I enlisted in the United States Army where I served my country for three years.

At the end of my enlistment, I attended Dyersburg State Community College.

At DSCC, I played on the baseball team and received my Associates Degree in Education.

I completed my Bachelor of Science Degree in Secondary Education at the University of Tennessee at Martin.

I taught at the middle school level for 30 years, during which time, I coached football, basketball, and tennis. I have served as youth director and later, pastor of several churches.

My calling was always to be a teacher. The inspiration behind my calling to teach was my 5th Grade teacher, and coauthor of this book, Mrs. Barbara Jones.
