Outfoxing the Fox. Memoirs of an Audacious Country Doctor, volume three 12+

📕 “Dr. Henry Wayne Poore was a master storyteller. To promote his first two books of memoirs, he told stories at book clubs, church socials, civic clubs, anywhere a good entertaining program was needed. Wearing one of his big cowboy hats, he held his audience with a deep, mesmerizing voice and contagious laugh. He played his old Martin guitar and sang bluegrass and cowboy songs that made his audience laugh or cry. He recited long poems by heart, often managing to target someone in the audience with the punchline. He was an inveterate showman. The stories in Outfoxing the Fox were his start toward publication of his third book, and you will love these last of his mostly-true stories, written in his warm and personal style and guaranteed to make you laugh or cry or be amazed.” –Adapted from the foreword by Bette N. LaursenIncluded with these 12 stories is an interview by daughter Sara Muller with her mother, Ninalei Bader Poore, called “Midwifery,” a fascinating account of her experiences as a nurse-midwife in the backwoods of Kentucky in the 1950s. Also, son Matt chronicles the deeply touching and often humorous final days of our wily old friend with “Henry’s Last Requests.”
