Our dear friend Carol Vogel's half-brother Tommy Wakeman and his lovely wife Jeanne live in Starkville!Carol hasn't seen him for many years, but provided his address, and let him know that we were in town. We called with that reference and they invited us to come over - and we had a lovely and enjoyable visit.
Tommy just turned 89, and other than a few hitches associated with that age, he is in great shape, Jeanne as well. He was an architect, and Jeanne had her own interior design firm. They are both retired now.
Tommy designed their home in the 1950's, and with a few updates and additions, it is in marvelous condition and very stylish, even by today's standards. We look forward to seeing them again before we leave.
It's curious who you can find or run into in different parts of the country. Our good friend Jack Cox in Farmington has a brother who lives in Russelville, AL, and we hope to see him while we are here.
