Georgia


I spent Sunday-Thursday at the National Immunization Conference in Atlanta, commuting by MARTA to stay with John and Lynda. John posted a nice picture of us on the Wilton Drive blog, so I won't duplicate that, but will add this picture of me by Margaret Mitchell's grave.

Kirby Puckett - 1960-2006


some video memories of Kirby

To An Athlete Dying Young
by AE Housman

THE time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.

To-day, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.

RIP KIRBY
