When it comes to professions, Art Edwards has bounced around a bit. He's worked in an amusement park where he was a beauty queen, engineer, train robber, and undertaker. He served on special assignments as a United Methodist minister in The Purple Dragon Coffee House at the Jersey Shore and in a State Park ministry in Washington's Okanogan Valley. He worked as a somewhat regular minister in New Jersey, Illinois, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska. After losing his voice, he re-invented himself at various incarnations of AT&T as a technical writer, speech writer, AT&T Foundation COO, and leader for an in-house PR agency. His retirement has included travel and new world views thanks to his four grandkids. He and his wife Joyce live in Decatur, Georgia.
