Clyde Wilson editor and owner of Tombigbee Country magazine was found dead in his home when he didn't show up for breakfast at a local restaurant on the morning of July 30, 2009. I first met Clyde 10 years ago about the time he started TCM. I looked him up for help on a project. I asked for help and he helped me, simple as that. It didn’t matter to him that he had never seen me before. Down through the years, when I called Clyde for help, I always got more help than I imagined. I learned much from him about writing and about living life. He was a true Southerner and I loved him for it. I mourn in the passing of Clyde, but I know in my heart he is in the “Great Beyond” and he is researching the best story he has ever researched. Tombigbee Country Magazine has been sold. I talked with the editor today and he is enthusiastic about the opportunity of getting to serve the readers of TCM. This first issue since Clyde left should be in the mail around September 16th. He apologizes for any inconveniences to anyone during this time of transition. It is the intent of the new editor to strive to keep Tombigbee Country Magazine as Clyde would have it. Any questions or concerns that you have, you may email [email protected] or write Tombigbee Country Magazine P. O. Box 621 Guin, AL 35563. I know he will welcome your stories and input just as Clyde did. The issue coming out next week will explain the sell of the magazine but I wanted to give you a heads up and tell you I am excited about the purchase. Life does continue and Clyde, if he were here, would want us to get to know and help the new editor and owner. How do I know that? That's what Clyde Thompson Wilson was all about, "helping and sharing". Barbara Woolbright Carruth
