520 |a "It is difficult to imagine a locale more quintessentially American than a Southern mill town. Congeniality, manners, friendliness, and compassion abound; white clapboard houses with black asphalt roofs and neat yards wander down from textile mills and schools. A Mill Village Story is a first-person narrative reflecting the best years of the mill villages in the Chattahoochee River Valley: West Point, Lanett, and Valley. It is a view through the eyes and mind of Gerald Andrews, a hard-scrabble kid who was born at home in a two-room house in Fairfax at the end of the Great Depression and grew up in his grandmother's boarding house. Andrews's creativity and innovative mind aided him in adventures through school, college, relationships, mill work, management, and leadership positions. What comes through most clearly in these pages is his genuine love for the people and how the culture of this nearly lost place shaped him"--  |c Provided by publisher
