Carol Perkins: Lets talk . . . about Depps Restaurant For Metcalfe County kids of the 60s, Depp's and Gene's Freeze (the latter still a popular Edmonton restaurant) were favorite hangouts. Robert and Nell Depp and their three popular children made everyone welcome. The food was generously served at reasonable prices, and it was delicious. "Those were good days and fun times and I am grateful to Robert and Nell Depp for putting up with us young people. I just wished I had told them," Carol Perkins writes in this article about memories which will be shared at the Metcalfe County Sesquicentennial and MCHS Reunion on Labor Day Weekend. The next earlier Carol Perkins column, A Free Trip By Carol Perkins Depps Dump wasnt a dump at all. How this establishment came to be known among its younger patrons as Depps Dump, I dont know, but it did. Maybe Robert Depp and his wife Nell, owners of the restaurant/grocery store, were offended by the name, but if they were, they never showed it.

Tom Chaney No. 267: Galilean Twins Of Writers and Their Books No. 267, 29 August 2010. Galilean Twins a review on book by Phillip Pullman The next earlier Tom Chaney review, Kentucky author A.B. Guthrie's works By Tom Chaney Email: Tom Chaney bookstore@scrtc.com A week or so ago I stumbled upon an interesting sounding book which turns out to be a part of a British series which bears further reading. The publisher is Canongate and each of its myth series presents a reimagining of a classic story by a popular author. Margaret Atwood retells the tale of Penelope and Michael Faber does the same for Prometheus. With those stories readers may be sort of amused, but when Philip Pullman fiddles with Jesus folks start gathering dry sticks.
