  I remember Catherine Rodgers McLain
 Memories

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the days when there were very few of the small publishing firms
as there are today, her novel was bought by Doubleday & Co., which
was one of the biggest (if not the biggest) publishing houses in the country.
That made the chances of selling a novel to them was about like winning the
million dollar lottery.

I do have some of her house that I took a couple of years ago. I'll have to
find them and will e-mail them.
I guess you know about me from web pages.
We just lost 2 more this week, I don't know if you knew Hershall Meadows or
not, or Richard Gregory or Paul Strozier...but all three died in the past few days.
I send you the photos of the Rodgers as soon as I can.

From Roy Isbell:  I know for a fact that she was always writing while she worked at Tallapoosa Academy.  Once in 1975 or 1976, while visiting her home office,  I
found a page in her typewriter and managed to read a few lines before she screamed and grabbed it.  I remember this line:  "I'll never forget the
Canadian Indian."  I'll never forget Mrs. McLain.

 In 1960 by some estimates there was a copy of THE TOWERS INHERITANCE to be found in more households in Chambers and Tallapoosa counties than any other single book except the Bible.
