John Foster West taught English and creative writing for 42 years at three different colleges; Elon College, N.C., from 1949 to 1958, Old Dominion College in Norfolk, Va., from 1958 to 1968 and, in 1968, Appalachian State University (ASU) until he retired, professor emeritus, in January, 1991. At ASU, along with teaching, he was writer-and-poet-in-residence and mentored hundreds of aspiring writers and poets throughout the years. After retiring, he traveled extensively to Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Professor West was born December 10, 1918, in Wilkes County, N.C., to John Wilkes and Elvira Foster West during the flu epidemic of that year.
