That’s alright dear
I lived in the house immediately to the left of Taylor grocery if you’re facing it
A little brown two bedroom joint
They tore it down for parking I think
Taylor road from campus and Bickerstaffs where I also lived my last year ran right in front
I was there in Taylor 1978
I ran with Rusty Faulkner myself..and his little brother who’s name escapes me
Rusty looked like his famous uncle a good bit
Pointy chin and hawk nose
Rusty’s brother is nicknamed Buddy. You also probably remember baby sister, Meg. There were Tennessee Walkers and Dobermans and a whole succession of cats named “Pistol”... a lively household.
Last time we tried to drive around Oxford, I couldn’t believe the traffic and new structures. We hit at rush-hour and couldn’t get out of the bumper-to-bumper to reach St. Peter’s. Glad we knew it pre-Grisham, when it still had the drowsy, unselfconsciously Southern vibe going.
I believe I’ve seen your former Taylor residences in photos by Jack Cofield. Glad to receive recollections and news about good old Oxford. I always enjoy your posts.
