Wade Thompson
by Kelly Bryan Smith
April 16, 2008
Wade Thompson, 32, of Duvall Decker Architects, is one of the founding members of Jackson’s branch of the U.S. Green Building Council, a group of architects, interior designers and contractors he describes as “environmentally forward-thinking, passionate people.” Thompson emphasizes the importance of considering the lifetime energy costs of operating a building with new construction or remodeling. The high cost of green building is a misconception, he says, even if you aren’t spreading it out over the life of a building.

“Don'’t look like they did much of a good job."

Don and Becky Potts
by Ward SchaefferMarch 19, 2008
Don and Becky Potts’ backyard would be noticeable even without the horse. Behind their Fondren home, the couple maintains an elaborate garden and two greenhouses. Somehow, they also have room for Little River, their 7-year-old miniature horse.

Bruce Golden

February 27, 2008
During the day, he’s Mr. Golden, the mild-mannered school librarian who dispenses copies of “Tuck Everlasting” and “Because of Winn-Dixie” to the book-loving kids at Peeples Middle School in South Jackson. Mr. Golden’s library is a peaceful world of words, a refuge for literary-minded students from their hectic and often stressful school days. But on nights and weekends, he’s Bruce, a jazz percussionist who trades in his Dewey decimals for complex polyrhythm and syncopated beats.

Inky The Clown
by Sarah LitvinFebruary 20, 2008
The pink-and-blue (Calvin Clown designed) striped arms disappear beneath the table, drawing forth a plain-looking hardcover black book. “You don’t mind if I read?” Inky asks casually, waiting a second for my surprised, affirmative nod before opening his book to unleash a flame blazing from the page. “Jeepers!” he cries, shutting it with a start. “Must have been a cookbook.”
