Welcome to the Boneyard with Steve Roberts and as always I am your good friend and host Steve Roberts and coming to you on the Friday evening

Edition of the Boneyard. You can probably tell I'm a little bit under the weather, but I'll be okay. I'll be fine. This morning I probably wasn't capable of putting this show together for you. It needed a little while to kind of

you know get the voice going you know

how it is takes a while to talk sometimes in the morning there sometimes I don't speak

until somebody calls but all that understood we're here the show must go on I will

be in Central Mississippi tomorrow for a couple of book signings noon to one at

Lemuria books and Jackson and then two to four at Persnickety and Madison and

every time I go there it's always a great turnout so we look forward to seeing you

all there if you're in the greater Starkville area I'll be downtown at Book

Martin Cafe Sunday 11 to 3 me and Marshall Ramsey both

going to be there too he's got a great children's book out called the saving Sam my

grandgirls love the book and got Marshall to sign it for me and he was very

gracious he even grew the care drew the characters and then drew bully next to

him Marshall's a great guy appreciate his friendship he even drew the characters and then drew bully next to him.

Marshall's a great guy.

I appreciate his friendship.

It has been a difficult week on the personal front for me and for many others in the Mississippi State family but also too in the SEC writing community.

There is a fraternity in the SEC writing community there is a fraternity in the SEC writing community and there are a lot of people that you pretend they're

part of it but they're not but you actually have to go to games to be a part of

that but Mississippi State lost one of its most beloved sons this week.

J.C. Patton, a guy that is a local legend.

His dad lived to be about 100, if I remember serves me correct.
