By Prize-Winning Columnist!
A 'prize-winning columnist for THE TRANSY LVANIA TIMES, the Brevard weekly newspaper
that has won more prizes for excellence in journa lism than any other weekly in the state, Cal Car
penter, in sharp newspaper style, has captured th e essence of this area in this collection of the best
of his columns, “From ALMAR Farm.”
A retired Air Force colonel, Cal Carpenter and his wife, Marge, came to Transylvania County
at age 45. They had always wanted to live on a farm, and though a thoroughly urbanized couple,
they pitched into farm life on 70 acres near Rosman. Colonel Carpenter’s account of the many
happenings is oftimes hilarious, as when he writes about the “Bib Overalls,” the sex-changing
chicken and theifr encounter with a setting hen. It is sometimes nostalgic, when he writes of his
boyhood; it is occasionally sad when he writes “A Moment of Silent Tribute,” a sensitively beautiful
tribute to Marge’s grandmother, and “Butch’s Obituary,” a farewell to a well-loved farm dog. It
is always interesting, always different; it always carries the clear message of his own contentment
and happiness on ALMAR Farm.
