Jefferson Roots

Roy Burgess lived across the street from a childhood playmate of mine. I knew his name but that was about it because he was younger than me by about four years. You know how it is growing up, paying attention to those younger than you was not a normal way to be in those days. But Roy was another of those Jefferson people who have moved back to town after being many places and doing fantastic things for many years.
Colleen, her sister Denise and I went to visit Roy. Butch joined us later. It was a most pleasant and fascinating afternoon.

Here is probably the most recent interview with Roy and explains so much about him and his talent. He is so worth the read.

And here is the next best thing to an in-person visit with him. Spend some time on this website and you will soon know why I think he and his talent are so special.

We visited a fair part of the afternoon away, sharing childhood memories and the events that brought us back to Jefferson.

These are pictures taken yesterday.
