RIP Dan Kuykendall

I read of today's passing of former Memphis Congressman Dan Kuykendall with some sadness but also pleasant nostalgia. I got a chance to meet him back in the summer of 1967; and I found him to be a very gracious man. You can read the detailed local obit here and his interesting Wikipedia bio here.

Here's a picture he autographed and sent to me. That's yours truly on the right. Click the image for full size.
