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.

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.

2024 in Review

     This past year was pretty much like 2023. I think my Bama neighbor Carl hood died and the Myers boys the year before. I read some books ending in a flurry with Night Flyer about Hillary Clinto heroine Harriet Tubman.  The Review in the New Yorker was grand. Off the Rim by Fred Hobson about early sixties NC Basketball, Curtis Freeman Pilgrim Journey on the essence of the Christian Faith, and the Barn about Emmett Till

     You could almost imagine Collinsville's The Shed in the Tribe Motif developed in the Barn. Carl was pretty much a charter member. His cows got out in some tense negotiations with the sale of Uncle Bill's 120 acres. He even refused to open a certified letter my sister sent him as she and my cousin Anne were the negotiators on the sale. I told the story to Mike MackPheerson and Jeff Graves. Mack Pheerson was almost cramping beating his steering wheel and crying at the hysteria of my predicament.

     He and my neighbor Dillard Wilson a veteran of the Battle of the Bulge had an incident about fifteen years ago but we all lived likely to die of natural causes, them gone and my exit possible within seven years.

     Maybe more later but good teaser for now. Three of his cows were electrocuted when a bolt bit  a big oak tree in the pasture in his back yard. Got a lot of views on social media

     The Myers boys were key leaders in Collinsville Baptist Church and education. Jackie an elementary school principal and Donnie a consummate Rook player a former assistant to the Supe of Dekalb Schools. His daughter brother in law in Superintended for Public schools of the state of Alabama.

     Other things happened I will report soon include the rise of Calvinism in the church my Mother was baptized, and the reelection of the Mother Fudd Rucking SOB Donald Trump. See Baptist News Global weekly on what a disaster he is including the scorching report up today about Nikki Haley's Turning Point USA Ralley in Phoenix two days ago. I made a post at Furman University Facebook about it
