CYBERCOLUMN:
Gentle breath of the wounded healer

By John Duncan

I’m sitting here under the old oak tree, remembering my Uncle Faye.

I’m not sure why we called her “Uncle Faye.” She was more correctly titled an aunt, a relative once or twice removed on the family tree, as they often say in the mountains of North Carolina. We called her “uncle” for some reason unknown to me. Maybe she just spoke it once, and it kind of caught on.
