On Wednesday i will be going to Gulfport and Biloxi Miss. to work for a few days. It will be intresting to see how the people have fared since Katrina. I realize there those who are still unsettled and trying their best to make better a very tragic disaster
On my way back home i planto come back through my childhood area and look at a few things. I plan to go by my dad's grave one more time since this will probably be my last chance. My dad never had tombstone on his grave until the early 60's. My father in law worked for a foundry in Little Rock. When he learned my Dad had no grave marker, he made a casting and had a marker made in bronze. The bronze plate was then set in concrete and finished. It was a great marker and meant a lot to me because of who he was and thought enough to have the foundry do the bronze work. Will show pictures when i return and will finish some articles on my childhood.

George, i don't know if there was a death certificate or not. If i get a chance i might check the current courthouse and see. I don't know now where the county courthouse is, it may be in Mccomb.
I would like to go over sometime and see these places too. Perhaps we can do that in the spring.
George, i will be posting in the next couple of days. I need Cindy to help me get a couple of pictures on to go with a draft i have already done.
