I wrote that over an article in the CUtrion last week, but I didn't like doing it. After all, the man it was aiaied at -- Slim Henderson -- is a good friend of mine. Slim came into quite a windfall last month, and bought the old Clarke place. The deed gave him title to all the land--right down to the street. Then Slim started to take up the sidewalk to make his lawn look better. I felt it wasnt fair to the town and said so in my article. Next morning Slim comes around and wants to know what I mean--getting folks riled against him. I felt ornery myself, and we had quite a set-to over the whole business. ,, From where I sit, that was foolish. Once we'd cooled off (over lunch and a bottle of beer at Andy's |Tivern), Slim decided the sidewalka should stay--for the common good and I promised next Ubm Td take a good'look at the other feHow*a point of view before writiag aay articles about him!
