Ronda Rich: Tink is Duckmaster for a day at the Peabody in Memphis

Since the beginning of our Southerner/Yankee union, I have kept a list of places Tink should visit to fully experience the glorious South. He has visited Hank Williams’ grave and Dr. Martin Luther King’s parsonage in Montgomery, Ala.; NASCAR’s Hall of Fame induction amid the sport’s royalty in Charlotte, N.C.; Music Row in Nashville, Tenn.; the Biscuit Festival in Knoxville, Tenn.; the Biltmore House and Grove Park Inn in Asheville, N.C.; William Faulkner’s house and grave in Oxford, Miss.; the Tallahatchie River town of Greenwood, Miss.; the Flood Museum in Greenville, Miss.; the parks of Savannah, Ga.; the Chattanooga Choo-Choo in Chattanooga, Tenn.; Chickamauga Battlefield in Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.; and the rainbow-colored, historic homes of Charleston, S.C., with the gas lights that flicker along its streets. As he stood at the edge of Faulkner’s whiskey bottle-decorated grave under a towering oak, he simply said, “In a million years, I would never have thought I’d be here.”
