Boyd, my name is Phil Baer, and a friend from Mississippi recommended your essays to my wife, Ellen Holmes Baer, who grew up in Jackson, whose younger brother, Edwin, you might of known. I think we are about a decade older than you. While I was a grad student in Dr Guyton's department at the med school, we always were awakened by Jim Neal and the feist dog--once got a kitten from a litter born at the station and mentioned on the show. I'm on substack as Pharmer (a clever friend combined Pharmacologist with Farmer) at https://pharmer.substack.com/ and from the tone and tenor of your essays, I think you might enjoy "A New Word--One I Wish We Didn't Need." In any case, we enjoy sharing your memories of Mississippi.
Hi! Thanks for getting in touch. I don't think I've met Ellen, but I do remember the Holmes name around town. Sometimes people think my Farmer Jim stories are so odd. It's nice to meet somebody else who experienced him.
