I have yet to find a doctor that made an office visit as comfortable as he could. The same wit and candor he used in his books were part of a visit with him. You could always tell when the "official visit" was over when he finished his notes and began to catch up on various family members and life in general. He has been greatly missed since his passing a few years ago. <br /><br />Whisper of the River is the second of three novels he wrote based on his early life. (Run with the Horsemen and When all the world was young are the other two.) In addition, he wrote several other collections of short stories. I am happy to know that others outside of our part of Georgia are enjoying one of my favorite authors. All of his work focuses on small town life and all the quirks it brings. Unfortunately, this way of life is disappearing all to quickly in our part of Georgia. I think that is one of the things that has always drawn me to Ocracoke. I think it was Fidler Dave who mentioned at a show one time an observation that on Ocracoke people lived among their ancestors. That small town way of looking at the world is a great thing,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-50043561088155532792014-04-05T13:13:53.886-04:002014-04-05T13:13:53.886-04:00Hatteras Island.
