Harper Lee

I know.

People say she's like family to Miss Lee and her sister Alice.

That reminds me.

I overheard some folks at the courthouse cafe gossiping the other day.

Apparently, Miss Lee started suing people all around town.

Like the local museum.

They've been selling Mockingbird merch for years.

But just recently, she took them to court over it for the first time.

Says it's violating her trademark.

That's what I heard, too.

I don't understand the sudden change.

I've got to go, but I will say this.

My family's lived here for generations.

The Lees have always been friendly.

I sure hope that isn't changing.

Me too.

I'd hate to think Miss Lee has turned her back on the town that helped make her famous.

It just isn't right.

In small-town life and in rural life, one knows one's neighbor's. Life is slower there. We simply entertain each other by talking. It's quite a thing if you've never gone or if you've never known a southern small town.
