'I grew up in rural east Tennessee, the youngest son of a mother with an eighth grade education and a father whose formal education ended with the third grade. My parents put little emphasis on education. Beyond the Bible, I doubt our home had more than a handful of books, if that. Education however, would be my ticket out of Bluff City, my hometown, as it was for two of my nine siblings. Education opened the world to me and became my career.' —Ronald E. Carrier, prologue, 'Building James Madison University' |
