New Market, Va. — Clive A. Babkirk is a Yankee in the South. He and his wife, Lois, are Mainers who live in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Each has a marvelous Down East accent — the kind you hardly hear anymore in New England, to say nothing of Virginia.
It so happens, Clive is one of the most eloquent people I know. Also one of the most likeable. I tell him I want to come down and see him. He says, “When are you coming? As they say down here, I’ll get a hold of a woodchuck, and we’ll have woodchuck stew.”
