The newspaper columnist and author wrote of the life and lore of the people of the tri-states region of East Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, and Southeast Kentucky. Bert Vincent held an abiding interest in Lincoln Memorial University. Many of his friends were graduates of the college. The University was often visited by the Bert Vincent, who expressed an appreciation for the campus, located adjacent to the historical Cumberland Gap region of pioneer fame. The expansion of library facilities was possible through the contribution from thousands of school children, alumni, civic service club members and organizations from the region. Stuart L.
