Percy-L: Literary, Religious, Scientific, and Philosophical Discussion of Walker Percy

[RHONDA MCDONNELL <rhonda_mcdonnell AT msn.com>]

What a lovely legacy. Can you imagine being one of those students who were taught by Walker Percy? I wonder if they had any grasp of how cool it was, or if he was just Dr. Percy, that writer fellow who hangs out at the Waffle House? Gosh, I wish I had been in one of those classes! But if he wrote on the chalkboard, I imagine not a soul could read it! If you’ve seen his handwriting you know what I mean!

Dear Percy-L Community:

Percy-L seeks to involve and recognize students who are interested in or otherwise extend Walker Percy’s legacy.  

Below is a brief newspaper article about two high school students in Covington, La., who were awarded this year’s Percy scholarship and award at their school. Percy evidently visited classes at St. Paul’s Catholic School. 

Congratulations to Walker Dubreuil and Joel Rodriguez. Wouldn’t it be enjoyable to have them post a story or literary writing to the list?

Best wishes,

Henry P. Mills III
