brilliant piece. i was out in Alabama watching my youngest play baseball and thought a lot about fatherhood and the South and my own dad. I do wish we had a way to call up the old men and say thank you again. i'll sometimes say "dad" out loud just to remember what it was like.
I enjoyed this article. I think I had asked you some time ago if you were related to Col. Charles Hobbs. I don't remember your answer. But this article and photo confirms that this is the same man who was my ROTC Professor of Military Science at FAMU from 76-78. I visited his home a few time to work on his Volkswagen. He and Ms Herring, his secretary, gave us (students) sage advice right up to the point that we were commissioned as 2nd Lieutenants. He and I had great conversations. A great man. Over the years we'd lost contact. But I always wondered how he was doing. I credit him for the success I achieved in the military.
I loved it as I love all you write!
Well said my brother!!!
That’s a goodun’ Chuck!

Happy Father's Day Chuck and thanks for sharing enlightening words on fatherhood.
