Wynne Farm

I came home at lunch to see Tom watching the news -- and it was about Huntsville and the prison break. At first I wondered if it were at Goree and if I would see pictures of Southwood Drive, but then they said it was north of town. Steve Yarbrough, Randy Clark and I worked at Wynne Farm the summer of 1969. I don't remember much excitement... for which I am grateful. The place had been obtained by the state in 1883 for sick and disabled prisoners, and most of the inmates when I was there were either there in order to be close to better medical care or they were part of the data processing unit that had been established.
