Loved ones of a Columbus City Schools middle schooler are seeking answers after he drowned last week in Big Darby Creek near Grove City.

Upon turning 18 years of age, I left the only home I'd ever known -- a two-toned olive green Masonite house on the side of a hill on Miller Road, two-and-a-half miles off pavement and one mile past the boondocks. Mama hoped my "moving off" was short-lived, and that once I'd gone to college, I'd come back not only to our hometown, but to our boondocks. My sights, however, were set on higher and higher education, and when I finished, I landed on paved roads with no whippoorwill to be found.

Like many baby girls born during the era of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, I was named "Lisa." Mama said she picked that name because of her favorite boss in Tulsa, who had twin girls named Lisa and Teresa, and she didn't like the name Teresa. And rather than "Marie" for the middle name, she selected "Lynn," for reasons not entirely clear. Perhaps it was for the Southern alliterative lilt it lent, in the vein of Loretta Lynn or Tina Turner.
