WILLIAM E

William E. Poole grew up in a Raleigh housing project during a time when you did not need to lock your doors. Though raised with lots of love, we were materialy poor and I began to appreciate the significance of home ownership and all that it implies... At age 7, convinced an acclaimed artist and professor that I had talent. She befriended me and I became the only boy attending art classes at an all-girls' college...wow!... Received a full scholarship to North Carolina State University School of Design. Was devastated when I had to leave to help support my widowed mother and four younger siblings.
