In March of 1987 it was my privilege to come into contact with James C. Gardner, a former Mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana, as a result of having read a beautiful article that he had published in the Reader's Digest at that time. Mr. Gardner has also put his memoirs in a book. It's called Jim Gardner and Shreveport. Having just had my first book of poetry published at the same time I was networking to promote my work as a poet and to receive input on how I might grow as an author so I contacted Mr. Gardner and we exchanged work and it was a pivotal turning point in my growth as a human being.
Mr. Gardner became my mentor and assisted me in the publication of my
work. In addition to this we became great friends and he shared some of his books with me including one that gripped my attention. He loaned me an original copy of Poems, a book authored by his great grandmother, Julia Pleasants Creswell, born in 1827. She was the grand daughter of Governor Thomas Bibb, of Alabama.
