"PASSIN' THROUGH - QUESTION FOR BEAU"
 
   Beau, I seem to remember reading something you wrote about "Passin' Through". As I recall, you wrote that your dad had at one point thought to make this a Tell Sackett story but changed his mind. That would have made it an obvious Sackett novel. However, it strikes me that it is still a Sackett story. The main thing that makes me think that it is still a Sackett novel takes place in Ch 23 when Matty reveals her last name to Passin' and tells him that she is a "Clinch Mountain Higgins". This exchange leads me to believe that the reader is being told that Matty knows that being a "Clinch Mountain Higgins" means something to Passin'. Most likely because she has recognized him to be a Sackett. What are your thoughts?
