Philadephia, Duncan Gray and Barbara B Taylor

One of the more remarkable series of conversations, of historic proportions at Collinsville Trade Day, Saturday.
Nothing like this since Oscar Nominee Brett Morgen was in town in winter of 92.

Stumbled into a conversation with a fellow from Rome Georgia who knew Norfleets in Pascagoula, Mississippi; not only that but cooks tuna for Ed Taylor, B. B. Taylor's husband.

I was checkin his story and he said he knew one of the top two Episcopalian preachers in America and in fact he did.

Was exploring the notion of And Also with you, Duncan Gray and the American Dilemma. Had that morning just reread Fleming Rutledge great sermon on Will Campbell and Virgina Durr.

From there had conversation with a fellow from Philadelphia, Miss whose grandfather's place was not far from the "pond" where Goodman Schwerner and Cheney were buried.

He said the Civil War was fought over State's rights, and I said the major factor was slavery. Had bried aside about Jones County, Mississippi, in the presence of a fellow who has recently written a book about one of Hitler's youth.

All that right in Momma's Hometown; so stop in some time for informed conversation where the Lion Lays down with the Lamb.

Hoping to see Lowell Barron there soon. Got word he was there early about a month ago.
