Here are some pictures from my book signing today in Jackson, La.

And what do you know! It’s my first grade school teacher, Ms. Shirley Legget:
Ms. Legget and I haven’t seen each other since I was in the first grade. The weird thing is that neither of us has changed in forty years.

The old Jackson bank:
What’s left of Centenary College. The guide told me it was the largest college in the South before the Civil War. I know, I didn’t believe it, either.

Au revoir, Jackson!
