Specwriter Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Truly an icon in the ilk of Mollie Ivens, J Frank Dobie, and even Hondo Crouch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Town Man Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 He was a great one. Not everyone will be drawn to his rural nostalgia, but he could appreciate an urban life chronicler like Sig Byrd, and was apparently the only other writer at the Post who got along with Byrd. His fame also seems never to have gone to his head, based on what people say who met him in public. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
