As I was saying, I was born in Jackson in the old Baptist Hospital that was demolished some years ago. Some say it was haunted, although I'm not sure that has any connection with it's being demolished. I have lived in Clinton, MS all of my life. Although Clinton is my home qua location as well as qua sense of place, I have a connection with northeast Mississippi, particularly Chickasaw County, that goes beyond me and is much deeper. It is where I find out about the Bairds who walked this earth before me and whose name I bear.
