Autorenporträt
Grady Eades is an Associate Professor of History at Volunteer State Community College in Gallatin, TN. He has taught American and African-American History for over twenty years. An Eagle Scout, Eades was a camp staff member at Boxwell Reservation in the 1990s. His professional career and personal interests came together in preserving the history of Boxwell by digitizing photos and conducting interviews. Before taking shape as For the Good of the Program, this work manifested itself in a website detailing the history of the camp, VirtualBoxwell.org, which he still maintains and updates.
