He evacuated from New Orleans very much against his will six
days after Katrina struck: Sunday September 5 2005. His body left New Orleans, but his heart remains. Today he lives in Lafayette, Louisiana. Unfortunately he knows what it means to miss New Orleans, in the words of Louis Armstrong. Although he was born and raised on a 518 acre family farm in southeast Alabama in the 1950s and 1960s, he chooses to live in Louisiana to enjoy the fresh, relatively inexpensive seafood. He tutors college students who speak English as a second language. Three of his great-great-grand
fathers fought and survived the War Between the States.
He loves the South and willingly endures the humidity, the
mosquitoes and the gnats.
He graduated with a BA in English from Troy
State University, Troy, Alabama. He has taught high school
English, 7-12, in public and private schools in Alabama and
Georgia and has worked as a photographer and journalist for
weekly and daily newspapers in Alabama. A former Democrat,
he has claimed his political independence since 1968.
