Feedback: More on the border of Burton Ridge

About: Western frontier Burton Ridge

To the editor, CM

Jake Willis' garden spot is on the land that belonged to my grandparents, Henry Thomas and Evelyn (Coffey) Burton, until the late 1970s when they moved to Edinburgh, IN.



Their home, the Garlin Post Office and store stood on the eastern half where Jake's garden now grows.

PeeWee Sinclair is still recognizable behind that sixth tomato plant.

Thanks so much. If you have a photo of the Henry Thomas and Evelyn Coffey Burton store, that would be great. Now that PeeWee's cover is blown, we'll show a photo discovered in our archives of the same scene, with PeeWee in full view. -Ed

PeeWee, out of hiding, at 6th tomato plant, Jake Willis garden



2007-08-25 - Garlin, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener.
SINCE ANGIE BURTON SCOTT has revealed the identity of Burton Ridge geographer PeeWee Sinclair, his days of clandestine geographic operations are over-of no more use in hat field than Valerie Plame is to the CIA. Jake Willis, the owner of the tomato patch, said yesterday that he had no problem with rival tomato grower Sinclair being in his garden. "He's a pretty good fellow," Mr. Willis said. The heat and the drought have cut production at Jake Willis' garden, but yesterday he had some of the best tomatoes seen this year, though he's had much better in other crop years. For now, the sixth plant from the East in the garden is what Sinclair says is the western entrance to celebrated Burton Ridge.
