My friends and I climbed the cliffs. As I was nearing the top, I was unable to see anything but rock in front of my face. I reached up and over a bit for a small tree to pull up on. I knew it was there as I had dreamt about it the previous night. Kikapoo falls is a sacred place.

Jumping from one ledge to the other over the falls and back the other way a few yards up stream. <br />I still picture the day I heard a commotion up in the top of the trees. It took a few minutes for me to find a spot where I could see what the noise was about, for the trees were tall and thick with foliage. There at the top the great blue herons were defending their rookery from turkey vultures. I couldn't believe how the heron could have nests that high or how many there were. <br />Kickapoo Falls holds many memories for me and my friends.

It's always been a part of family stories, along side the raft the neighborhood boys built (it sank the first time they put it in the water), the panther that followed my grandmother as she walked along the river, and tales of Caesar the American terrier who's intelligence and bravery are legendary.

She appears in the second of my two autobiographical novels that are posted in their entirety here: http://roberttrhode.org/. See Chapters 26 and 37. Even though I earned my degrees in English and taught early American literature at Northern Kentucky University for thirty-four years, I still practice the piano and recall Miss Jamieson daily. What a joy to read your comment with its homage to this great educator and devoted friend to her pupils!

Your description of her apartment and walking up the stairs….I too can hear them creak, and yes those beads as she moved in and out of her kitchen. Although I do not think I was ever in her kitchen. I can see her now with her short combed hair, and strong, yes affected, voice. There was kind of an excitement about her, and certainly she was unlike anyone else I had ever met. I too remember recitals in Duncan Hall and one in particular where I forgot where I was in my memorized recital piece. I was mortified. But time passed, and I majored in music (organ) DePauw Univ., became a Fulbright scholar, and received my Masters of Music from Yale Univ. She was a powerful, memorable lady who sent me down an exciting path I might not have taken, but for her.
