I think my favorite story of Shepherd's was "The Grandstand Passion Play of Delbert and the Bumpus Hounds".
A great story (that was partially portrayed in the movie "It Runs in the Family"). My own favorite was "Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss" which recounted his family's annual trek to the "country".
Shepherd had written (at least) four books which are definitely worth reading (and I'm proud to say that I own four).
He used to appear on radio at night and wonderfully tell his memories in a manner that only he could. I miss him!
