Encore Classic: Gordon Crump - 'How I discovered Columbia . . . ' A Masterpiece a Must Re-Read for Lindsey Wilson Events: 'Someday I must go back to Lindsey Hill.' A must read for Lindsey Wilson Students, Alumni, Friends. About Columbia and Lindsey Wilson in the early 1940's, 29 April 1970. It's an essay considered by many to the the best or one of the best ever posted on ColumbiaMagazine.com, written by Gordon Crump and first posted We post this story often. It was last on the front page of the site when Lindsey Wilson reopened its school year in August, 2010. Accolades continue to come to us. While researching Cranmer Dining center for her Adair County High School Class of '55, 55th class reunion, Annette Richards accidentally found this story, first posted on CM. "It is a masterpiece," she said. "I'm not an alum," she said, "but I couldn't hold back the tears reading Mr. Crump's story. They were happy tears. A connection, knowing that he had those feelings about my hometown. When we hold our class reunion at Lindsey, I'll step over to that side of the campus to share the feeling he had when he looked out over Columbia." We agree with Ms. Richards. The memory is a masterpiece. Mr. Crump still lives in the Clay Ridge section of Adair County. He's a member at the Clay Ridge Grocery; messages and well wishes can be left for him there when the store is open, in case you miss him when you visit. -ED WAGGENER By Gordon B. Crump, aka "Hermit in the Woods" hermit1@alltel.net Some days are meant to be memorable. The others shouldn't count against our lifetime. I don't remember who expressed that idea first, but I have made it my own.
