He graduated from Texas A&M University, the Thunderbird Graduate School of International Management, and Texas Tech University with an MBA. During World War II, Fisher served with the 1st and 9th Armies in Europe. He married Evalena Blowey.

Ed Fisher had a varied career. He taught at Angelo State University, surveyed land, and worked in real estate. After his retirement he poured himself into writing about the history of West Texas.

Scope and Content:
