OLGS, the three Joes, and I had a post-New Year's trip to the south. This was not a trip where we lay on a beach and drank pina coladas. Rather, it was educational, like most of the stuff that goes on here at the headquarters of domestic tranquility.
The theme of the trip was Civil War-Civil Rights. We visited Atlanta, Tuskeegee, Montgomery, Selma, Vicksburg and Memphis. We also had a non-program detour to Clarksdale, MS, home of the delta blues. Finally, we visited Maxwell Air Force Base to collect some info. about my dad's unit in WWII.
We did all of this in five days. And I've had enough barbeque, bacon, biscuits, grits and sugary tea to last a while.
