If I had to choose but one story to immortalize my dear Mama, it would have to be this little bit I’ve been calling “Southern Samaritans” for years. It all began one night during what was supposed to be a quick trip around the corner to see my aunt and…

Bud Baggett is what many refer to as a ‘good ole boy’. Contrary to what that term means in some contexts, it means Bud is there for anyone anytime of the day or night. He’s a friend to all and an enemy to none. Baggett grew up farming with his…

I never realized just how much there is to learn about running a household until I had Mrs. Elizabeth Barnes for Home Economics my senior year. We were very lucky that year; the gas company had donated new, gas stoves for the Home Economics classes, and Mrs. Barnes had allowed…

Players, parents, and teachers look to coaches to instill good work ethics and morals in the players they have under their guidance.
