What a Great Night
What a great night with friends Robyn and Charlie McVey. They too are Gold Loopers. We met Robyn and Charlie on our last Loop. True southern hospitality. They invited us for supper and to watch the AGLCA sponsored presentation “Crossing the Gulf”.

Mississippi is “Where the Flowers Healed a Nation”
On April 25, 1866, about a year after the Civil War ended, the ladies in Columbus MS decorated the Confederate and Unions soldiers’ graves with flowers in Friendship Cemetery. As a direct result of this kind gesture, Americans celebrate what has come to be called Memorial Day each year, an annual observance of recognition of war dead.
Mississippi is a Shoe-In
In the year 1884, Phil Gilbert’s Shoe Parlor, located in Vicksburg, was the first place ever to sell shoes in pairs and in boxes.
