The Craig Sheldon Story
The Sheldon Family
Once Upon a Time, in a land called Fairhope, there lived an extraordinary man by the name of Craig Sheldon. It was back in the time of World War II when Mr. Sheldon had a splendid idea for a garage, workshop, and laundry room…
Before you can really begin the story of Fairhope’s Story Book Castles, you need to first meet the man behind the castle. In 1940, Craig Sheldon married Annie “Butch” Sheldon, and they moved to Fairhope to raise their family at the close of World War II.
Three children, Craig Sheldon Jr, Suzan Megrez, and Pagan were born to the couple in Fairhope. Daughter Suzan Megrez Rudolf inhabits the Sheldon Castle with her husband. After decades of living in major US cities for John’s career in publishing and software and Megrez’s as a professional dancer, they choose to return to Fairhope. Megrez is a well-loved Fairhope Librarian who maintains the Sheldon Castle plantings and John, now retired, enjoys working in wood.
