Jimmy Coleman’s first appearance on our fair planet took place at some point during the last millennium. The earlier years of his sojourn among his fellow mortals were expended during the tumultuous times of separate water fountains, segregated schools and the KKK. It was also an exciting era where many of his generation did battle to help improve the situation as it was. A series of short stories reflecting the give and take of bygone days are a major aim of Mr. Coleman’s writing herein and elsewhere. The first short story, “Mr. SOB” can be found at https://www.seattlestar.net/2022/05/mr-sob/
