Mississippi writer, former Clinton resident, and Ole Miss Professor, Barry Hannah, died of a heart attack in Oxford Monday afternoon.
When we moved to Clinton in 1975, we lived close to Barry's parents and through them and a neighbor who was a close friend, Carole and I became friends with Barry. As long as his parents were alive, we saw Barry frequently, but since their death, we visited only when he was in town for a presentation as he was two years ago when this picture was taken with another close friend of ours, Dorothy Jo Sample Shawhan, who grew up in Verona and now resides in Cleveland, Mississippi.
Rest in peace Barry.
