Miss Cody Flanders Callaway

Miss Cody learned early to do without much money, but lack of love was another story. He tracked love relentlessly, shamelessly. Then, near the end, his capricious fate brings him a last chance to offer and receive the largesse of love he has sought in vain most of his life. Flanders Callaway, 77, spent the first 20 years of his life in Tennessee and Kentucky. After graduation from high school, he moved as a stranger to New York City where he worked at low-level clerical jobs until his retirement at 68. During his working years he attended evening college where he earned a B. A. in German language and literature. He considers Miss Cody his "pure labor of love."
