Why
does Alderson, WV have a leash law for
lions? Who is Bricktop? What famous people
have stayed at the Alderson Federal Prison
Camp? Were there ever any train wrecks in
Alderson? These questions and many more
are answered in a series of historical
booklets Belinda wrote about the town of
Alderson.

| During her recent workshop
on The Hero's Journey for New River
Community and Technical College, Belinda
asked the students to think of a book, story
or poem that has meant a lot to them, and to
tell the story of that work in a poem using
the structure of the hero's journey. NRCTC
has posted these amazing poems to their Facebook
page. |
