Book by Dick Burdette- "Samples"
I am so indebted to Blaine Bierley and Dr. Richard Hansgen, regular atttendees of our Portsmouth Breakfast in Columbus. Dick brought a copy of Dick Burdettes's book called "Samples". Blaine had sent for it and let Dick Hansgen read it. Dick let me read it. Mr. Klitch gets it next, but I will purchase a copy myself. I called Blaine and he sent me the article I posted above by Dick Burdette on Bert Leach. I have read maybe a quarter of the book and it is fasctinating reading for anyone who admits to being from 'the Cultural Center of our Universe'. Dick does a terrific job of reminiscing about our home town and its districts and its people. The man can write among the universe's best writers, in my humble opinion.
Three old Trojan amigos' Jim Fout, Jack Plymale and Doc Yeagle loved 'Uncle Bert' and, although Doc and Jim have passed on, I highly recommend Dick Burdette's "Samples" to all Portsmouthites.
Thanks Mr. Burdette! and you're extremely welcome, Mr. Plymale.
