SouthFirst Bank Adult Brown Bag Lecture Series presents Rheta Grimsley Johnson on her book, "The Dogs Buried Over the Bridge: Metaphors for Love, Loss, and Life." Rheta Grimsley Johnson, a writer/columnist, uses a parade of beloved dogs to take us on the colorful journey of her life. She begins the story with her starry-eyed newlywed status on St. Simons Island and carries us through her stints at various Southern newspapers, finally settling down to a writing life and a dateline for her column in the remote and dog-friendly Fishtrap Hollow, Mississippi. Along the way, she talks about her eccentric neighbors, her friends, her three husbands, and —best of all—the dogs she buried in the sad little cemetery over the bridge! Rheta’s dogs—with names like Monster, Mabel, Humphrey, Pogo, Albert and more—helped shape her life, made her a better person, and taught her lessons in unconditional love.
