Kim called me yesterday to tell me of a blog her friend, Duane Edwards had written. He recounts his story of growing up and living in Brookport, Ill....the little town that was ravaged by the horrific tornado on Sunday. He is a very talented writer and this is just filled with wonderful nostalgia... I was so touched after reading it that "I" wanted to share it for YOU all to read. ... Peace and Love ..... the Katydid ...
I've posted an excerpt below and you can read the rest at the link blow which will take you to his blog:
11/17/13 - "Brookport"
Blogger's Note: This afternoon a tornado destroyed my home town. I was at work when weather alerts started coming across the radio, and the town's siren began wailing. My wife was also at work with me, so my concerns focused where my mother was babysitting our children at our home in Paducah, KY. Fortunately, nothing significant hit there. Just across the river, Brookport, IL wasn't so fortunate.

My bicycle was a Mongoose. The guy at the store where we had bought it said it was a very good bike. I imagined myself being the fastest kid in the whole town when I saw it. When Mom told me I could have a new bike for my birthday, I wanted the best one I could get. Maybe then I could keep up with Brandon. Maybe even faster... I chose this one.
