I wanted to share this with you: Larry T. McGehee, one of the two or three best teachers I've ever had, passed away on Saturday night.
More than a decade ago, Larry realized that the weekly and biweekly newspapers that the small towns (like his hometown in Kentucky) probably could not afford the increasingly-expensive subscription rates of nationally syndicated editorial columns. And so, he decided that he would provide such a column, every week, free of charge to anyone who was interested. And hundreds of tiny newspapers were. The result was "Southern Seen," a chronicle of life in the South. If you're interested, you can access the archives here.
Larry had greater, more subtle, and more profound understanding of southern culture than anyone I know. I think you might find something of interest here.....
