I am a reporter for the Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa., but live and write columns at my home near Gettysburg. I grew up in Athens, Ga., and think of myself as a Southerner, mostly. I have been writing columns off and on since 1978 or thereabouts. I’ve worked as a mortician, salesman, concrete truck driver, garbageman and, since 1985, as a reporter.

Terry — this is won of yer best uns yet.
For the past 30 or so years it seems that our educational system has been hi-jacked and turned into a socio-cultural machine dedicated to spouting out feel-good-isms and engaging in social experiments of dubiious merit or outcome.
Some people want to put the Bible back in the classroom. I think we ought to put education back in.
It wood be the best thing we cud do to hep are children.

Terry- Please put me back on your mailing list for Burger To Go. I miss getting them.
Hi, Terry! Ed Tant here, from down on your former turf of Athens, GA. Keep up your good writing! I remember working with you during the “olden daze” of The Athens Observer weekly newspaper here, where I started writing columns, news stories, features and reviews in 1974. Since 1991 I have been a columnist for The Athens Banner-Herald, the daily paper of this town. Next year I celebrate 35 years as a columnist in Athens. I have been meaning to drop you a line for years and after running into a friend of yours at the art museum in Athens yesterday, I thought I’d send you a note. I hope you’ll view my Web site of writings and photography of anything from street protests to space launches to car shows. http://www.edtant.com. Write on, Terry!

I love your site!

Hello Terry–After years of reading your stuff this is the firt time I’ve been to this site. As a fan of yours I remain convnced that you should take all your gems and put them in a book. You are, in your own way, “Americana” with some keen insight an a great sense of unique humor. I’d buy a copy!
