Dresser, Thomas: - Thomas Dresser's business card reads: writer/bus driver. After a stint as an elementary school teacher and a couple of decades as a nursing home administrator, Tom realized he wanted to write. Besides freelance contributions to the local press, he has self-published several booklets on favorite New England haunts and two books on demand. The Wampanoag Tribe of Martha's Vineyard is his third book with The History Press, following Mystery on the Vineyard (2008) and African Americans of Martha's Vineyard (2010). Tom drives a school bus during the year and a tour bus in season. When Tom attended his thirtieth high school reunion, he reconnected with a classmate who invited him down to Martha's Vineyard for a weekend. The rest, as they say, is history. Tom and his wife, Joyce, have been married for thirteen years. For more information, visit thomasdresser.com.
