He enjoys reading, writing, and spending time with his family, especially with his four grandchildren.
This book contains five short stories about events that occurred in Calhoun County, Mississippi, during the 1960s. They paint a picture of rural Southern life as I experienced it in that time and place. These events became a part of the personal history of all who lived there. I wrote this book to ensure that this part of our history would not be lost or forgotten. Although some parts of the stories have been embellished and names have been changed, they are based on actual events. Remembering those simpler times and the good people who lived then brings a smile to my heart. I hope you have the same response as you read the Tales of Calhoun County.view less
