The Tucker Childers weblog

Dear Sam Venable,

  I love your column.  My all time favorite was Reggie and Buffy until those zany county commissioners began generating the best matrial ever.  I especially like Father’s Day when you write about Big Sam and Mother’s Day when you write about your mother Mary.  She was a wonderful woman and a pleasure to know.  I’m sorry that we moved here too late to know Big Sam. 

   My husband, Tucker Childers, was a Management Consultant for over 30 years and he used personal stories to make points during training sessions.  Fellow consultants urged him to write a book that would include the down home stories that he used while speaking.  His stories seem to flow from him in much the same way that your’s flow from you.  I thought that you might enjoy reading his book.  Please read the story that begins on page #14.  It concerns the arrest of an elephant and is my favorite.

  Thank you again for a wonderful column that helps us to laugh our way through some serious times.

Yours truly,

Becky Childers

P.S.  I think that you will surely enjoy the dog (or dawg) stories.
