Thanks Jean, for a nice trip down memory Lane. GrandMa Lowery lived out on Rte. 14 near Sprott. My favorite when I visited her was a tall glass of buttermilk, chilled in the water well, and a big hunk of cornbread. I would crumble the corn bread in the milk and eat it with a spoon.
Nowadays I occasionally make a noon meal of buttermilk and cornbread. But it's not the same as the one preserved in memories.

When George Wallace was campaigning for governor in 1962, he boasted that he and his Mom had lived in a chicken coop. So burning of his home at Clio probably wasn't any great loss.
The night of his election in November, 1962, he met with news reporters in the city room of The Birmingham News. He passed out cigars, and his first words to reporters was "I don't give a damn what you write about me, just spell my name right."
I kept my cigar but found after a couple of years that it had dried out and fallen apart.
