Grew up in California and stumbled onto a Grizzard book as a teen. Ended up reading them all and felt like Lewis was my friend. Rest In Peace Big Dawg!
Sad that Lewis is not in the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame, a UGA organization. Jim Minter told me the judges are too high brow to consider Lewis's writing worthy of consideration. I nominated Lewis in 2018, and he only needs to be nominated once. Inductees since 2018 are likely fine writers, yet I have never heard of most of them.
@@godislarge1 Jim Minter told me that in a lunch conversation. I did not record it. Minter attended the 2018 Georgia Writers Hall of Fame induction. He and his wife totaled a new Volvo hitting a deer. Fortunately neither were hurt other than airbag bruises. Jim said Furman Bisher was inducted only because judges reluctantly concluded after many years that sports writing could be good writing. Jim told me many things I agreed to never publish.
