Bethlehem ... to Seagrove

Bethlehem … to Seagrove

Jack C. Lail is quiet, unassuming, and slow to speak but careful to listen. Yet, he is an influential entrepreneur and community leader who founded Mid-State Plastics and shaped Randolph County for decades.

This memoir captures his 93-year journey—from his roots in the farming community of Bethlehem during the Great Depression to his success in Seagrove. It is a story of resilience, integrity, and a life dedicated to his family, his community, and the employees who made his success possible.

This site includes audio recordings of the dictation used to create the book so you can hear the author in his own voice.

Coming March 2026 to Amazon in Paperback and Kindle.
