Re: [bolger] Re: Robb White died May 16
I think Bailey White is his sister, also a fine
writer, similar to Robb, but gentler. "Mama makes up
her mind" is one of the funiest collections of short
stories I have read. Sam

I just did a search on bookfinder to see if any copies are out there. Holy Smokes!! I am going to be a lot less casual about lending it out, especialy as its a realy good copy with the endpapers still on. A first printing is going for over 600, takes $150 to get any old copy.

A sad day indeed. I will truly miss his writing.

From Robb White's web sitehttp://www.robbwhite.com/
A writer and boat-builder in Thomasville, Georgia, and
Dog Island, Florida, Robb White died May 16, 2006. He
was born June 4, 1941. He graduated from Thomasville
High School and served in the United States Navy from
1960-1963. He attended Florida State University and
graduated in biology from Valdosta State College. He
taught science in Franklin County for 10 years.
He is survived by his wife, Jane, his sons and
daughters-in-law, Wes and Erin White and Sam and Pam
White, their children, Rosalie, Will, Neil, Rebecca
Jane, Claudia, and Allison, and his sisters Barbara
and June.
At Robbs request, after cremation his family will lay
him to rest without ceremony. Memorial contributions
may be made to:
Birdsong Nature Center
2106 Meridian Rd
Thomasville, GA 31792
