Forest F. Harvey: Remember when clothing was patched? Cards of MENDETS from years ago brought to mind how cookwear and clothes and shoes were once repaired to keep the holes from showing. Today, this style with holes, no patches is very much sought-after and adds quite a lot to the cost of the garment today. He wonders when this will change? By Forest F.

Mike Watson: On Pawpaw vs. Papaw The preferred spelling is "Pawpaw,", though, Mike Watson says "papaw" is an acceptable variant. We're fixing to use Pawpaw from here on out. The historian and avid gardener, like my father, like Dr. Ben Arnold, and my niece Mitzi is a Pawpaw fancier. It seems Pawpaws are like Cilantro - you love the spicy fruit or despise it. Comments welcome. As one who rarely eats the fruit except in for Pawpaw Pie, I love the plants on the landscape. Wish there were more to balance the black green beauty of Eastern Red Cedar. Always wondered if there would ever be a commercial value in Pawpaw culture here. - EW Comments re photo 59605 Favorite Old Photo Papaw trees HORSE softball arena By Mike Watson Much like my Cousin Jim would say, I'm not intending to "steer" up trouble, but... In the recent days I've viewed the photo of the old barn and kept up with the guesses of location. I don't hazard a guess, but I have noticed most of the responses have "papaw" references, as per the original photo caption. I was too trifling to go into another room to check references, but this morning, before daybreak, I had to consult Merriam-Webster. I have always pronounced and written the word as "pawpaw" and was beginning to think I had been wrong for more than half a century.
