"How old would ya be, if ya didn't know how old you was?" - Satchel Paige. My purpose in creating this blog, Meridiana, is to identify and capture an essence of those people, places and things that have contributed and, in some cases, continue to contribute meaning, texture and enrichment to the lives of those of us who grew up in Meridian, Mississippi during the ‘50s 'n' ‘60s. And, maybe i'll add a few surprises, too.
