My life started on Rock Springs Road where I was born in a one-room log cabin. Well, actually it was an ugly, brick, ranch style, but I always imagined it as log- makes for a better story. My mother named our farm, Gordon’s Villa, trying to create an image of Tuscany, but the smell of manure and the occasional dead cow pressed it hard. My grandfather acquired it during the Depression after its previous owner killed four people there and went to prison.

The same year that Mrs. Dorothy Elkins began her illustrious career at Webb I was squirming my way into being born in a Birmingham hospital. I spent my younger years in Northern Alabama where I gained exposure to the civil rights movement through the sermons of preachers who celebrated a Holy cross on Sundays and a burning one on others. My conundrum with this paradox turned out to be a continuing
influence on my perspectives.
