That same year, Preferred Office Products expanded its operations by opening an additional office in Fayetteville to provide Northwest Arkansas with local sales and support.

FROM WHO'S WHO IN WILLIAMSON COUNTY
Joseph T. Dickinson, Jr.
Lawyer-painter-writer any one of these designations would be enough for the average person, but Joe Dickinson, Jr., can claim to be all three. And even though he has been practicing law here only since early summer, he has already accepted a very responsible position of leadership in the community by taking the presidency of the County Unit of the American Cancer Society. It was a post which Col. R.L. Duncan had but gave up after he was ill several months ago.
Young Mr. Dickinson has already lined up some new faces in the key positions in the Crusade next April. David Blair, manager of Associates Capital office here will be head of the Crusade with Billy B. Butler of the Welfare Office the chairman of the committee.
Young Mr. Dickinson has been away from Franklin for several years but coming here to practice is certainly coming home. Joseph Thompson Dickinson, Jr. born in Nashville, bears the name of two families, the Thompsons and the Dickinsons, which have figured prominently in the history of Tennessee and particularly around Nashville.
His parents, Joe and Billie Frank Dickinson, moved to Williamson County when they bought historic Montpier in Old Natchez Trace and their oldest son was nine years old. Young "Joe Dick" went back to Nashville to school, however, and was graduated from Montgomery Bell Academy.
His undergraduate work was done at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he received a bachelor's degree with a major in political science. He delayed going to law school for a couple of years to teach one year at Graham, N.C., where he was math teacher in the junior high school, and the second year at Columbia Military Academy in Columbia, where he again taught math in the junior high grades.
He enrolled in Memphis State University for his law work and while in school there conferred the
MRS degree on Virginia Ladd Warr, a Memphis miss whom he literally ran into in a school corridor one night. She had a night class in the same law school, and they discovered that they had spent several
years earlier almost on the same campus together. Virginia was graduated from Duke University with a
degree in music and its campus at Durham is just a short distance from the University of North Carolina.
The Dickinsons came to Franklin after he was graduated this past summer and he is now associated with Mabry Covington, Jr. He is enjoying his work immensely and feels fortunate to have been able to go in with Mr. Covington for he is "learning" on some big cases which he might have missed otherwise.
He and Mrs. Dickinson have a son, Joe, III, who is called "Joe Joe" and they live in an apartment in the Theodore between Adams Street and Columbia Ave. They attend First Presbyterian Church and he has joined the Civitan Club.
His sister, Drane, and her husband, James Maddux, and family, live on Old Charlotte Pike on the farm they bought from Mr. and Mrs. John Overbey. The youngest of the Dicksons is Harold Smith Dickinson, who is stationed in the Navy at a base in Florida.
When he isn't practicing law, young Mr. Dickinson spends many hours painting or writing. He uses all media, oil, water color, pastels, and he is well into writing a book, which he hopes to have published before long. He has already named the manuscript, Maginot Line No. 2, and it deals with the defense of the United States against Soviet Russia.
He doesn't shy away from outdoor activity—he helped with his father's day camp for boys many summers-- and a favorite is floating rivers in canoes. The French Broad River in Knoxville was excellent for such a trip and the Harpeth is good in high water. Virginia even joins him in this rambunctious sports, rambunctious particularly when several canoes go together and each canoer tries to flip the other to see who can stay dry the longest.
It's most commendable for a young man to take time from his work particularly a beginning practice such as law, to take the helm of a most important community activity. Work in the County Unit of the Cancer Society is a year-round proposition, not just the month-long crusade, let's add to our welcome
to Joe Dickson and his family our whole-hearted support for his service projects.
He was born in Nashville, TN on September 28, 1938. Joe was preceded in death by his wife, Elizabeth Johnson Dickinson, Murfreesboro, TN; his brother, Howard S. Dickinson, of Fort Smith, AR; his mother, Billie Frank Smith Dickinson, of Nashville and his father, Joseph Thompson Dickinson, Nashville, TN. He is survived by a son, Joseph Thompson Dickinson, III (Ruth), of Denver, CO.; step-son, Charles March; step-daughter Mary March Stevens; a sister, Drane Dickinson Lyttle (Mike) of Dickson, TN. A private graveside service will be held at Woodlawn Memorial Park.
