What was so obviously lacking was any indication that the article was penned either by an academic with a particular interest in Appalachia or even by someone familiar with the area who had since "moved on", so to speak. Apparently the inspiration sprang from his keyboard like Athena from the head of Zeus. Very odd, if you ask me. I don't think this guy has ever set a foot within an hundred miles of Appalachia.

BTW, I attended Grant Jr. High and it was there I met the teacher who most influenced my life, Mrs. Reese. This was many, many moons ago.
