Dear James and Thomas, and List,
This is one of those examples where for the better good ( the Prestige
of holding a place In Meteoric History , Mrs. Elizabeth Hodges, 1954,
First Modern Day Meteorite to strike a person) we have to learn to laugh
at ourselves and see the humor. People back then didn't all have the
benefit of going to school, too much work to be done, ect. What she has.
that some of our more articulate speaking public doesn't is "A place in
History". Something to be proud of. Best Regards, Marcie

James,
I too felt the article was offensive.

What really eats me about that aritcle is that it makes people that live in
Alabama sound like hicks. Not all of us are hicks, though knowing some of
my neighbors I can sometimes see where others get the idea.
