Famous Author’s Day… Peoria school… “Probably Dead.”

The joys of writing a newspaper column…

History of Coonridge… Hubberville…stole it and had it copywrited. “Don’t worry, it ain’t near as good.”

Gave directions…people tried to find it.

14 newspapers now… Missouri editor: “Don’t write about roads or education because we don’t care about either one.”

White supremacists group from Peoria.. Black Lady, Star of David.

Local Lutheran church… Christmas tree… mad..then mad because I didn’t write about them.

Lady at coffee shop… a very mean lady. “I hate this @#$%.” He writes it. “I know it.”

Made up name for a crazy aunt… Yulanda Briggs “You got her exactly.”

Town drunk.. Lady from Chandlerville..threatened a law suit for writing about her father.

One newspaper refuses to print anything that bashes Bush. They run my old columns instead.
