For more than forty years, John Sherwood worked as a feature writer for the Baltimore Sunpapers, the now-defunct Washington Star, the Miami Herald and the Journal Newspapers of Maryland and Virginia. Recently, he has been managing editor of Rags, The Magazine, an East Coast sailing magazine based in Annapolis. In 1994, Sherwood wrote his first book, Maryland's Vanishing Lives, a compendium of the many crafts, occupations and skills which will soon disappear not only in Maryland but throughout the country. Illustrated with beautiful photographs by Edwin H. Remsberg, this collection is a testimonial to a disappearing world.
