A mind is a terrible thing to lose.

Here is the sum total of my verbal interactions with Steve Berry in the 15.5 years I've lived in St. Marys. Once, years ago, as I was leaving my first county commission meeting, I was heading out of the back door of the old courthouse when Berry came out of the narrow hallway that led to the commissioners' door to the dais in the old meeting room. We suddenly came face to face as he rounded the corner. I said "good evening." He said "Hi" and walked on by. Once, about a year ago, we came face to face at the serving line in Aunt B's. I said "Hi." He replied, "Hey, Jay." That's it in 15.5 years. Last Tueday night, after the meeting, he passed within eight feet of me as I was getting into my van and uttered not a word. "Pals" we are not. I've sent him 1 e-mail asking a question about something before the board. He answered briefly, referring me to someone on staff, as I recall. That's it. That's the sum total of our written interactions in our lifetimes. I have NEVER spoken to him on the phone, communicated by short wave radio, blind drops, carrier pigeons, or smoke signals. Hopefully, this will ease some one's fevered, Berry-obsessed mind, but I doubt it.
