Corrie Hill Price, Educator and Maker; East Tennessee and Asheville, North Carolina:
“I have driven down HWY 1 from Oregon to Southern California. I have sailed from Auckland to Whangarei, backpacked across Europe, married and honeymooned in Central America and scaled the Rockies looking for gemstones. After all of that, I realized that the wonders of East Tennessee, my home, surpassed each destination I had yearned to see in my traveling days. It is only now that I plan to put roots down that I am truly grateful to be born and raised in Appalachia. Someday I hope my family will enjoy the same beauty, kindness, and comfort these hills offer.”
