    I ran across this quote from Havilah Babcock. If you have not read his books it is worth a trip to the Library. He was an English Professor at USC when I was there and I have always regretted not taking one of his classes.


    But whatever its ups and downs, being a boy is something I’d like to try again, especially being a country boy. It ought to be against the law to let a boy grow up in the city. Havilah Babcock, Jaybirds Go to Hell on Friday, 1964.

    I did not appreciate it at the time, but now realize I was fortunate to have been a country boy. I suspect most of you on here were too

    Lol, I have a first edition of that book on my coffee table in front of me as I sit here.

    I was raised in the city but spent most every summer in the country.

    Great quote! I was fortunate enough to grow up in the country and I still reside in the country. I wouldn't have it any other way!

    Well, you certainly don't have very far to travel to be in the country!

    I used to live in the country, but the city is moving out to us. They cut every tree over 3 inches across the creek bank last week. It was very depressing when the kids and I walked down there over the weekend.
