ANDREWS (1916-2004) was an American author, musician, humanitarian and former owner of the Ojai Valley News. Born on November 20, 1916 in Trenton, New Jersey, he was working as a reporter in Flint, Michigan, when he met Norma Shelp.

The family moved to the West Coast in 1945 and lived in Los Angeles while Andrews worked as a technical writer for North American Aviation. In 1948, he took his family to the Ojai Valley, where he worked as a reporter and editor for The Ojai before founding The Ojai Valley News in 1949.
