I love your dog, David! Just adorable. When we lived in Central Mass, a neighbor called one Friday and asked us to keep an eight-week-old puppy, “just for the weekend.” She lived with us for 13 years until she went to the Rainbow Bridge – my weekend dog. Right now, I write with two HUGE yellow Labs at my feet and wouldn’t have it any other way.
David: Your book “The Possessor” did something that no other book has done in 50 years. It got Cathy to read. At first, I saw her glancing through it, and then I saw she had it bookmarked. She enjoyed it!!! First book she has read in years. She is looking forward to reading Tanglewood Road. Bilbo is so cute in his picture. Wishing you and him many more years of keeping each other company. Donna
Is this the Mac Hooper I used to pick banjer with back in the sixties at SMS? My name was Mike Breid then. My stage name is Arkansas Red-Ozark Troubadour, and I’m living for the past thirty years in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. I’ve been trying for about ten years to reach you but no one at SMS (now MSU) or Sigma Tau Gamma would give me any information. They did tell me your full name though, so I went with that. I saw your picture on the net and thought this must be the Mac Hooper that I sang and played with back around 196-61. If you are the one give me an email and I’ll send you my CD Last Train Out, a tribute to the Hobo. I’m still pickin’ and grinnin’ and makin’ a fool out of myself and takin’ the white folk’s money. Good to visit with you. Take care and get back to me when you get time. Hope you haven’t given up playing the banjer and still have Lady Judy the first longneck banjo I ever played. I play the longneck now. It’s a 1928 Vega Tubaphone open back with a neck I made for it. See ya-

Bilbo probably saved me from going crazy. So much had happened to me and my family that I needed an anchor: that was Bilbo.
