Crossville native's book stellar review in Huntsville Times

Sunday May 31, Huntsville, Times had this sterling review of Don Gregory's book, Jungvolk.
Gregory is a fascinating character I have gotten to know at his Knife Stand at Trade Day in Collinsville.
He is a 1972 grad of Crossville High School with my first cousin Anne Jordan. Momma's brother James and Aunt Kay were teachers there at the time.
I'm hoping his alma mater will have Gregory back to have a program at his alma mater for this fascinating piece of History he has done justice. And maybe NACC will feature him this fall as well.
As you see in the links below Gregory is fascinated by the movie Valkyrie. He is exploring aspects of that film for his next book. Great teachable moment for HS students and lay history buffs as well.
