Good to renew acquaintances.<br /><br />Some specific questions to be answered.<br />Yes my protagonist was a real life one. There were a lot of local myths told about him, but I have tried very hard to restrict my tale to material about which I am sure.<br />Furthermore, he is a character I have not spoken about very much, either on the blog or in private. I had largely forgotten him until the prompt brought him to mind. Therefore, it seems likely to me that the memories are more intact and not overlaid by later tellings.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-89735011696366037562013-02-23T04:29:30.971+00:002013-02-23T04:29:30.971+00:00YOu've presented a beautiful view here.
