Storytellers are treasured in every culture. Their stories may be grand or plain - the subject matter can be anything. The magic is in the telling.
Dr. Henry Poole's stories have attracted listeners for many years, possible from the time he learned to talk. In Lessons Remembered, he recalls events from his childhood in Tennessee, from his years as a physician in Arizona, from his travels to Alaska, Mexico, Europe and Africa, and from his later years as a cattleman in Virginia.
Had to read this. He moved from Va. to Flagstaff in the early 60's. Was liked by everyone who knew him, set up a free clinic for the poor when he was in his 70's, and while his stories aren't great literature they reflect a man who lived life well and had some nice stories of Flagstaff when it was much younger/smaller.
