Feedback: Liked seeing Don & Carol Burton online

To CM:

I enjoyed seeing Don and Carol Burton's picture on the website. They are my children's great uncle and aunt. Don is their grandmother's brother. It is great to be able to get online and see our family and friends.

Thanks so much!

Feedback: The Hoop story brings back memories

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

This story sure brings back memories. I have played with a hoop like this for hours. I'm like Mrs. Marcum, I don't know what to do with half the toys my Grandchildren play with. If it doesn't make a noise, have lights flashing, or a video game to play, they don't know what to do with it.

The HOOP STORY: Burtons find long lost toy for Mema

A quest for a remembered childhood toy is successful with a chance stop at Burton's Tin Shop on Reed Street and Donald Burton's network of sources, including Jr. Burton
"If you see an old lady out chasing a hoop, guiding it with a tobacco stick affixed with a flattened tin can, don't throw a net over her She's just happily lost in her second childhood."
By Geniece Leftwich Marcum

Now that I have attained the status of great Me-Ma to three wonderful little rascals ages 2, 4, soon to be 6, I often get a first hand look at many of today's toys. To be truthful I wouldn't know what to do with some of them if they were mine. They seem to have been much simpler in my time, but that was over 70 years ago.

Rev. Joey N. Welsh: A Centenary of Sparrows

ANOTHER ANGLE: the occasional musings of a Kentucky pastor. This article was published in the July 24, 2005 Hart County News-Herald
By The Rev. Joey N. Welsh
E-mail: joey_n_welsh@hotmail.com

A CENTENARY OF SPARROWS
The English language is a delightful thing. I have always found a chuckle or two in thinking about the collective nouns that are used when we refer to groups of birds. If we dont know the variety of birds, we just refer to the assemblage as a flock. If we know what birds were dealing with, however, the traditions of our mother tongue decree that we use names that are specific to the species.

Tom Chaney. July 8, 2007. Ward Just

Book review: Jack Glance, by Ward Just
By Tom Chaney

An elegant stylist -- politics as balance
One of the delights of living all day in a bookstore is that one is always discovering new writers who may have been there all along.

A couple of weeks ago I discovered Ward Just. His name was vaguely familiar, but I had never opened one of his books.
