Blanche's story - This picture was taken by my grandfather, John Walton, at Bull Frog Bend back in the late sixties. My parents, my
brother (Curt) and sister (Julie) and I are in the canoe floating down Turkey Creek. I don't know when I'll get around to this book, but I hope before too long. It will
probalby be a stand alone story - not one intended to have sequels. I'll do the simultaneous plot - but with a less stressful
present day story. It was very interesting to me to learn about the early days of Birmingham. Blanche will be loosely based
on Maude Thompson - who was an incredible woman - and the mother of Eugenia Thompson Akin - the inspiration for Miss Eugenia.
