Subject: RE: Obit: Little John Cameron - October 2002
Hi Jo-Anne.....I bet he's happy too that you found us. We were just talking in another thread this AM about 'Catters no longer with us and of course John came up right away. He and I shared a lot of varied interests not always common to the general "folkie" (whatever that is.....Is there one?......anyway)........Not long before he was hospitalized last he and I talked at length about a motorcycle he was thinking about acquiring.

Like many around the 'Cat we both loved writing and we had each surrounded our writings with a cast of characters based in reality but no one specifically. As Scots settled much of Appalachia and my characters were good ol' boys who had slipped through the crack in the American Dream, he thought there would be much humor in this clan from BOTH sides of the Atlantic, meeting after all these years and seeing where things led. It could have been hilarious and I will always regret we didn't get into some of it right away.

Thanks so much for coming by and sharing with us. Come back anytime just for yourself and enjoy the 'Cat as John did. We'd love to have you.
