Glenn, I’m reading this on a crisp morning in Asheville, NC, not so very far from your father’s early home. I was just driving along the French Broad River after dropping the kids off at their “free range” school in the mountains. The river sparkled in the morning sun, and I slowed way down, hoping this time I’d get lucky and spot a black bear along its banks. We have loads of them here; perhaps they all fled Kentucky for the easy foraging in these temperate, ancient mountains.
I love your essay, and send love to you from our mountain home. Hope to see you soon!
