Furman Grad, Sociology major but it was little tougher than Auburn football players had Had three dates with beautiful women the summer of 1978. Did not marry any of em. Never married anybody cause what was available was undesirable and what was desirable was unaffordable. Unlucky in love as they say and even still it is sometimes heartbreaking. Had a Pakistani Jr. Davis Cupper on the Ropes the summer of 84, City Courts, Rome Georgia I've a baby sitter, watched peoples homes while they were away on Vacation. Freelance writer, local consultant, screenwriter, and the best damn substitute teacher of Floyd County Georgia in mid 80's according to an anonymous kid passed me on main street a few years later when I went back to get a sandwich at Schroeders.

Atticus Finch and Steve Jones

Today I made a facebook post at the Collinsville PTO site about immigration bill under review in the Bama State Legislature.
I hope Nick Saban's wife is called on to testify. Friends are reportedly bringing the Mother Jones piece on Self Deportation and Kris Kobach to her attention.
Gary Furr, a Baptist pastor in Bham has a good blog up on To Kill a Mockingbird and the recent Mary Murphy film shown on PBS American Masters. Sadly I missed the film, but commented on Ms. Murphy's website last year.

Steve Jones, Wayne Flynt and Bishop Willimon should be up for the Atticus Finch award for 2012 for their work standing against the Tea Party, Eunie Smith and Governor Bentley on their ill advised Bill.
R.G. Lyons of Centre, Alabama is to be applauded as well
And Robert Parham and Cliff Vaughn for their good work
