Donnie Switzer is Barry Switzer’s younger brother, a long-time Arkansas attorney and a long-time promoter of his brother and their stories from Arkansas days.
Donnie Switzer also likes to write, and 10 years ago he penned a story about Dale Boutwell, a Switzer-era athlete from southern Arkansas who has been a friend of the Switzers since the early 1950s. Donnie recently visited his old friend in a nursing home – “a visit which so emphasized how much I love the guy” -- and updated the story.
The story is long, and not conducive for newspapers. But the blog gives us an outlet for all kinds of story forms, and I thought I would share Donnie’s tale with you.
