Yep, same Boswell, Harry from Madison, Mississippi, world-famous astronomer
and gardener. Really nice fellow, just left on his way to Texas where he
will spend the night in my home town. We had dinner at Richard's, that's
Ree Chard's for you non-cajun types. Harry had the seafood gumbo and Anne
and I had the shrimp. Harry must be about 6 foot 4 or 5 and built like a
linebacker but he couldn't finish the generous bowl of gumbo at Richard's.
Hopefully he and his wife will stop by on the way back from their sons
graduation from USAF boot camp. We talked flowers and herbs and he was awed
by Miz Anne's art work. Sleepy liked him so he's gotta be alright.
