Bill, you are a man of excellent taste. Betty Stuart Ripley Webb is still a beautiful woman. The Stuart girls are older than I am also, but Buster is closer to my age. Jo's husband and mine went all through school together in Monticello and college until Jack joined the Navy. Jack wrote poems during the sleepless hours of early morning after his cancer progressed. Many of them are about Monticello and growning up there. Perhaps with permission of his family, I can post some of them at a later date. Make note of my e-mail address - I will be wanting to purchase a copy of your book. Keep me posted on the publiction date. I will talk with "Miss Jo" (as she was called by the camp children) today. I will be contacting you by private e-mail later today. Regards, Carolyn Haisty jhaisty@tcac.com
