Dude it is an amazing choice of titles for this section. Because I can't think of Mississippi and Louisiana without thinking of how it is viewed dependent on the color of your skin. Don't get me wrong I love the South but I know that there is a turbulent undercurrent if you make a mistaken choice. I lived there from 14 to 17 and the experience prior to the military had an indelible affect on me after moving from Michigan. The signs for whites only had been removed but the residents still knew the repercussions of making a simple mistake. And yet the fond memories of family reunions and barbecues remove some of the sting of those days along with a hope for a better future for the South. Maybe one day.

We’re enjoying your journey Scott. Thanks for taking the time to share. BTW, I read a lot & you’re as talented a writer as many of my favorite authors. Maybe a new career?
