MEET THE RESEARCHING AUTHORS

The ongoing series of ESCN Database Reports publications are co-authored by Gary S. Wilson and his father, John H. Wilson, who is now deceased.

Gary S. Wilson continues the work he and his father started and is Director of the company. He holds a MBA from Arizona State University and a BA in Business Administration from Central Washington State College. He worked in a number of writing and computer related positions over the years and designed the newspaper database that is used for this early newspaper research work.

His father, John H. Wilson, was Head Researcher for the company. He was responsible for the lion's share of research conducted on these early SC newspapers to date. Retired from federal government service, the elder Mr. Wilson also researched early toolmakers in South Carolina for a national directory published by the Early American Industries Association (EAIA) and was an avid reader and student of history all of his life.
