Carroll was an avid reader, and Dr. Myers says he could share “nuggets of information” that weren’t on the front page, and that helped Carroll have a devout following to attend his classes.
Listen:
Carroll, along with Peter Giuliano were featured on an episode of KTLO’s Talk of the Town in January where he discussed his most recent course he held at the Baxter County Library on the War of 1812.
