Earlier this year, I was invited to be a guest on “Power of Place”. While I was in Seattle, Host Edward asked me a question worthy of a deep dive- Why is Andy Wood buried in Bremerton?

I had to answer his question with a question of my own… Who is Andy wood?

Come along with me as I explore the life and death of Andrew Wood, Kitsap County’s Secret Rockstar.

Here are the links I’ve promised you:

Thank you so much to the librarians at Kitsap Regional Library for teaching me how to use ProQuest so I could take my research a step further!

I used ProQuest to read the following:

“Shunned Lessons: Even a School that is a leader in Drug War Grades itself a Failure” by Joseph Pereira, Published in the Wall Street Journal, November 10 1989

“THE BATTLE AGAINST DRUG DEPENDENCY WITHIN THE MILITARY” by Richard S. Wilbur, MD, published Winter of 1974

You can access them too- all you need is a library card.
