Riding the Caboose
Richard Dube boards a train to write
[An author, Richard Dube about to enter his caboose.]
Writers often have special places to write. These places become sacred to them. For Chattanooga’s Richard Dube (pronounced Dubay) there is a green caboose. And when Richard Dube climbs aboard he is fresh with ideas to write.
The 1940 vintage Southern Railroad caboose is parked akimbo in Dube’s backyard. And the backyard opens onto what was once a private airfield bordering a refuge managed by TWRA (Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency). Railroad tracks parallel the field, marking the other side of Dubé’s vast retreat. It is a veritable Walden for a writer who sharpened his image in Chattanooga as the News Channel 9 Science Theater guy. CLICK FOR ENTIRE ARTICLE
