TVCWRT FOUNDING FATHERS

A native Pennsylvanian, Douglas Cubbison served four years as an Army Artillery officer before coming to Huntsville in the mid 80s.  He left Teledyne and Huntsville in 1998 to pursue other career opportunities.  He served as the historic preservation specialist at West Point, NY and later as the Command Historian of the Army's 10th Mountain Division.  He currently works as a historian for the Combat Studies Institute at Fort Leavenworth, KS.  He is an accomplished writer with numerous magazine articles in major publications.  His third book, The British Defeat of the French in Pennsylvania, 1758: A Military History of the Forbes Campaign Against Fort Duquesne, came out last March.

        Jerry N. Peddycoart, 1939 - 2004.

Jerry was born in Tennessee.  He began his career with the Army Ballistic Missile Agency and worked on the Explorer Satellite program before moving to NASA when that agency was created in 1960.  He worked at Teledyne Brown Engineering for many years after his retirement from Government Service.  After his passing in 2004, his son donated his entire Civil War Library of 200 books to the TVCWRT.  Those books were the genesis of our book sales program.

Mark Hubbs grew up in Arkansas.  He is an eleven-year veteran of the U.S. Army Infantry.  Since leaving active duty in 1992, he has worked as an environmental protection specialist and archaeologist at Teledyne Brown Engineering and later for the US Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC), on Redstone Arsenal.  Mark has written for Navy History Magazine, Army History Magazine, Military Historian and Collector, The Army Space Journal and On The Trail Magazine.  He is searching for a publisher for his first historical fiction novel, When Freedom Come.

This just in:  Mark has just been hired as a National Park Service Historical Weapons Consultant, to support a remake of the Shiloh National Battlefield’s Visitor’s Center movie explaining the battle. He will be present at the on-battlefield production in late March and will also serve as a soldier in the movie.
