I Had A Little Insight Into Life

Good Teachers Know How To Bring Out The Best In Students.

The Storytelling Tradition That You Bring From The South, I Don't Know Where It Arose, But It's Still There. You Can't Go To The Feed Store, Or The Country Courthouse Without Running Into Storytellers.

I Did Stories About Unexpected Encounters, Back Roads, Small Towns And Ordinary Folk, Sometimes Doing Something A Little Extraordinary.

I Remember Being In The Public Library And My Jaw Just Aching As I Looked Around At All Those Books I Wanted To Read. There Just Wasn't Time Enough To Read Everything I Wanted To Read.

To Read The Papers And To Listen To The News... One Would Think The Country Is In Terrible Trouble. You Do Not Get That Impression When You Travel The Back Roads And The Small Towns Do Care About Their Country And Wish It Well.
