In 1989 after a 33 year teaching careen, 31 at Camp Tillamook teaching court-committed youths, Jack Graves retired. He has since been an intervention teacher to expelled high school students, a boy scout leader, a Port Commissioner, a director of the County public transportation district, and a writer for the local newspaper, as well as a parent, and a doting grandpa. He began writing when In 1991 he attended a meeting to form the "Garibaldi Historical Association" with half a dozen others. The first evening's project was to write two pages of local history. Graves wrote his two pages, and even though the historians' group never met again, he has not quit writing. He has since written many poems, news and feature stories, short stories, and seven books- three of which he publishes as Garibaldi Books.
