It brought back memories of my childhood. My father grew up in Covington and we have 3 of the Miss Minerva books. One is autographed by the woman who wrote the others after the original author died. Some where, I can't remember specifics now, we're related to the character so it was always fun reading.

If you do not mind telling me --who was/ is your father? My father died in 1970--He was George Flowers, Jr. My generation of Flowers appears to be the last of 5 generations in the Covington area. I will always love Covington! Maiden name Jenny Lee Flowers
