Poor Lamar


One of the big projects going on in the office right now is a master plan for downtown Moss Point, MS. In some of the research that has been going on we came across this old post card. It doesn't say too much, but just enough. Some girl, "Brown Eyes", who was obviously older than Lamar, broke his heart. The interesting thing is that he asks if she is coming South this winter, which would be before she is to get married next fall. I can't help but wonder what he had planned? Maybe a fake mustache and beard to fool her into thinking he was older; or perhaps his own set of hunting dogs and plug of chew, both of which he stole from someone in neighboring Pascagoula. I think both could have worked.
