Yup, Gargoyle and the MO newspaper win- for the time being. Mark Twain second.
Mary, my wife knew some of the people involved in "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." One of her professors was the one who helped the major character set up his preservation program. The lady who played piano was well-known throughout Georgia. Phenomenal memory for songs. And of course all the stories about the Lady Chablis of the movie- the actual character playing him-herself. Wonderful character!
