Brenda Kay Ledford and Barbara Wright attended the North Carolina Society of Historians' annual meeting and award ceremony on October 8, 2005.
Ledford received the Paul Green Multimedia Award for her poetry book, Patchwork Memories.
According to Elizabeth Sherrill, president of the society, the judges found Ledford's book to be an exceptional way to preserve and perpetuate North Carolina's rich history.
The judges' collective comments included: "This is a lovely collection of poetry about mountain life...the people and their customs. Ms. Ledford covered all of the five senses with her words. As a poet would put it, 'Holding Back Fall.' We smelled the aroma of the cinnamon rolls in 'Anticipation.' We tasted the sweet watermelons in 'Chapter from the Past,' and we saw the talent Ms. Ledford shared with us on every page of her book."
A native of Clay County, NC, Brenda Kay Ledford earned her master's degree in education from Western Carolina University and studied journalism at the University of Tennessee. She's a former creative writing editor of Tri-County Communicator at Tri-County Community College. Ledford is also a previous teacher in the Cherokee County School System.
Patchwork Memories is available at Curiosity Shop Bookstore in Murphy; Phillips & Lloyd Book Shop in Hayesville; and is juried for the John C. Campbell Folk School's Crafts Shop in Brasstown.
