He was an author. In fact, the first book he ever wrote in 1976 chronicled, really, him growing up in the mountains. The name of the book was ``The Mountains Within Me.'' That book had a very special meaning to me, personally. You see, he talked about Young Harris College, and he equated Young Harris College to being like a shoe factory because things are coming out of there in pairs.
