What a wonderful read, FreeMan. So many of your memories are similar to my own--Saturday night Grand Ole Opry, love of nature, growing up. I love it when you write. My Navy son went to the same places you did, probably a bit sooner than you. He was signalman on the Blue Ridge, Captain's flag ship at the time.

What a beautiful, honest and moving account! In Denmark there is a monthly paper published by an organization for the homeless. I buy it every month mainly for the nature articles written by a hermit of a man, formerly homeless. He spends several days a month alone in the countryside where he subsides on what nature can provide. Your essay reminded me of his unusually beautiful contributions.
Thank you.
