      I guess I'm ungrateful, then, Sorrowful. Please read above. PS: a University of Alabama professor wrote a book condemning O'Connor and Welty for their "language" in writing these authentic-to-their-era Southern stories. Another resigned in disgust and moved home to the midwest. There's still honor in the South. Best wishes!
