James T. Leeson, Jr (1930-2010)Jim Leeson killed himself on Monday or soon before, shot himself, and he was found on Monday, near his home in Williamson County, Tennessee. In life, he was a direct man, so I'd like to be as well.
I loved the man and stayed in touch with him for decades after we no longer saw each other every week. In some ways, in ways I might not have thought about until this week, Leeson may have been the person most responsible for allowing me to be the writer I am, maybe...
