Also, many accuse Keith of little man syndrome. But they didn't ranch in the 1920s. That is not for the average insurance salesman nor schoolteacher.

Forget the past the past is gone forever, right now is where it's happening.

Seemed to be a stylish gent. I remember that little, shorter-brimmed, checkered fedora he was often photographed in back in the day.
Or, am I misremembering that? Maybe confusing him with Bear Bryant.

Will just comment that I'm still astonished so many self-proclaimed fans of Jack O'Connor and Jim Carmichel can't spell their last names--especially if they have any of either Jack's or Jim's books, which they generally claim to.

You are right Sir! Jim is shooting shotgun and benchrest along with a slew of jokes and conservative politics. He sent me a photo of a black bear knocking on his patio door.

I would guess that you have a bunch of fans that misspell your name too, Mr Barness.

Ha!
But so not nearly as many who spell Jack's name "O'Conner" and Jim's "Carmichael"....
Will say that my freshman history-class teacher in high school pronounced my name "Bar-NESS" from the very beginning. He was also one of those teachers, not uncommon back then, who called his students "Miss Smith" or "Mister Jones" rather than by their first name. I tried to correct him, but he didn't get it.
In May, a couple weeks before summer vacation started, he overheard one of the other students calling me "BARS-ness." He was somewhat startled, and said something. Several of the other students told him yeah, that was my name.
Then he asked why nobody had ever told him before, and one girl said, "We DID! But you never noticed...."
