in his soul wayne rosetti sr set his life goal on fulfilling that need delving into ever changing ventures of artistic moods and styles for sixty years this drive has filled his home with rarely viewed masterpieces and set the stage for his firstever commercial venture the world of loop people  wayne lynn jacob rosetti was born in biloxi mississippi on january 23 1937 and raised on point cadet his parents george rosetti 19091981 and edna mary melvin rosetti 19141979 partowners of a restaurant named rosetti poor boys at the ocean springs bridge like many children of that era he helped out at the restaurant during his teenage years until graduation from biloxi high school in 1954 as a 15year old biloxi teen wayne commenced weight training and has continued such his entire life with very little down time he was a pioneer at biloxi in body building with homemade weights he is proud that his weight training produced amazing results from protein and milk with no supplements or steroids pictures of a young wayne rosetti are included  a more mature wayne  wayne matriculated to the university of southern mississippi in hattiesburg that fall but his college career was cut short by a chance encounter in his fourth month a friend reported he was getting ready to join the army wayne decided to drop out of school to serve his country too and by the way take advantage of the gi bill tuition benefits on his return after obtaining his parents permission he launched a threeyear army stint army life provided sufficient down time for wayne to engage in his favorite activity reading his diverse interests ran to both fiction and nonfiction especially history near the end of his stent he went into town on leave and saw the movie lust for life with kirk douglas this show about the life of vincent van gough included a scene with van gough s brother theo an art dealer vincent couldn t sell many of his paintings so they accumulated at his brother s apartment presenting a habitation loaded with paintings the scene touched something inside wayne and at that moment he decided he wanted to be a painter prior to that inspiration he d never had that feeling nor had there been a painter in the family while in town he bought a sketchbook pencils and a paperback book with an introduction to art whose first rule stated sketch everything he took that to heart his first sketches were of his combat boots and towel on his bunk the results pleased him enough that he soon graduated to cardboard canvas and an inexpensive oil painting set at the time he was stationed in texas and upon attending a bullfight went back to the base and painted his first large piece the fight and found himself gratified with his results discharged from service in 1957 he returned home searching for a job that would give him time to paint his uncle owned a wholesale plumbing and electric supply on howard ave and suggested he go into the family trade with credit given by his uncle he rented a small building on 25th ave and hung a homemade sign in two years he was doing so well he moved his business rosetti supply co into a larger space on 28th st once the business was established he found he had spare time to devote to his art in december 1964 he married his one and only helen bates from the very beginning she had a strong influence on his art wayne consulting her on such things as color choices their marriage has survived happily to this day with two grown successful offspring in the late 1960s he discovered an art shop in edgewater mall that sold him clay for sculpting similar to his painting he decided he would pursue his sculpture without any formal training my first one a frog came out so well i wanted to do more wayne recalled next i created a seal just from memory  lion in gold he found he could rely on the pictures in his mind for both his sculpture and his painting even for complex scenes such as running water one of his earliest animals painted from memory is his lion in gold   in the late sixties wayne developed new ideas about how to approach his art beginning with research into the masters and their techniques this was a compromise he made based on his decision not to go to formal training his concern being possible contamination of his ideas from the standard education he said i wanted all my art to come from within another decision he made around this time was to continue to change his media and his subjects he reports having read that most artists become known for one particular type of art and especially if that form becomes popular nine out of ten of those artists won t deviate from the style that s responsible for their income  horse and boy consequently wayne focused on constant experimentation i would not limit myself to any type of material he said i d even use iodine shoe polish anything to make it expansive if i developed new techniques i would emulate it with another one i progressed from lion in gold to horse and boy  same background palette and technique i d do a series of that work implementing extensions in color and subject matter he said he wouldn t implement a new technique until he felt he d exhausted all aspects of the current one wayne s subjects varied depending on his mood commonly a historical theme or something from nature such as an animal he was striving for an art with a universal perspective topics resistant to dating as he matured he concentrated on what leonardo da vinci described as gesture like the position of the hand or the smile of the face the details that set the theme for the rest of the painting  holy man in his holy man  he wanted to incorporate two of the essential parts of religion compassion and humility he chose a dark palate and emphasized the themes with the man s expression and posture wayne s palate tends to be consistently dark often based on burnt umber so much so that a relative described it as typical of a medievalist  the four horsemen of the apocalypse wayne remembers his first large painting commissioned by his brother who was inspired by edward hicks 1834 painting peaceable kingdom this was in the early 1960s when large canvas was difficult to come by requiring having the canvas specially made after completing the work he was so taken with the theme he created a similar one for his own home during his early career selling opportunities were rare with few local galleries and only the occasional small art show though his portfolio was beginning to grow even those opportunities he rarely explored for he felt reluctant to try to sell when you show your art work he said you show how you feel and expose your inner self later on i learned that some people will like it and some won t in my youth i thought every piece had to be a masterpiece they don t even so each one must be redeemable art in its own right like most inspired talents his production has been prolific though not necessarily continuous his usual workdays were eight hours sometimes longer he reports short bursts of creativity worn down by concentration and determination of placing the art the colors and the contrast at times he d take a leave of absence from painting feeling burnt out after a break i d be inspired by a comment or something i d seen sometimes a visual musical or literary allusion would inspire him andrew lloyd weber s phantom of the opera inspired one piece another inspiration came from the biblical reference to the the four horsemen of the apocalypse those were all those destructive forces striving to overwhelm mankind my approach was to project how man comes facetoface with those forces but with the help of nature can win the battle in the midst of all that destruction he assesses his style as a mix often merging impressionistic realistic and primitive styles in a form where they could all gel he loved experimenting with new forms working with them until they d been assimilated into his work around his home he pointed to different pieces and described their technique naive minimalist outsider art this latter is the concept of painting like somebody who has had no formal training and thus creating a unique approach to art pieces of this type have for example exaggerated heads done with a personal interpretation assemblage developed from this form i was quite taken with picasso for quite awhile klee also an influence  the ram in describing his sculptures wayne likes to base the forms on realism such as the ram  however though based on realism he liked to exaggerate the forms giving them a whimsical look providing each its own personality thus they re created not from a real life but more my interpretation of the life in my paintings i put the animals in appealing poses though they may not look like real life it might even be better than what real life can portray   figure 8   i brought that approach to my sculpture i was interested in animals and nature and how to be creative in my interpretations i studied primitive sculpture like in african art and new guinea art where exaggerated forms have real meaning to them it becomes very striking when you see them for the sculptures skeletons known as the armature he utilized everyday things such as empty cola bottles statue in green and gold  figure 9  is three parts a brick a sculptured bird and an upside down whiskey bottle wayne described his concept in regards to one of his early paintings the warrior a warrior always carried death on his shoulder that s the only way to be brave enough to go into battle i had him facing death and he was facing him with his shield up going to face death once he had the work created he took it to a hotel that was allowing local artists to hang their work for sale when he showed it to the curator she didn t believe he had painted it saying it was too good refusing to hang it wayne s work is most remarkable for almost never having been shown he just kept hanging each new piece on a blank spot on the wall until his house seemed completely filled up the one exception to that history came about serendipitously when in 1994 a repairman came by to fix wayne s old grandfather clock when the man was inside the house he was fascinated by all the paintings he had heard the owners of a new furniture store were looking for an artist to show in conjunction with their opening this resulted in his fifteen minutes of fame when dave elliot from wlox came to the home to film and interview at one point dave elliot asked what do your children think of your art my children grew up around art wayne replied so it wasn t a big thing it was just something that dad did basically they simply enjoyed it wayne took forty of his paintings to the furniture opening resulting in thousands of views brought in by the television spot and other advertisements the show lasted a month and during that period wayne sold three of his works that ended up being his only show and consequently his only sales fifty years of painting and only three sales wayne s plans to forever keep his talent private were challenged in 2010 when his soninlaw roger applewhite saw wayne s art roger was so taken he told wayne he really needed to have people see it he also suggested wayne come up with something completely new something marketable analyzing his work wayne came up with the concept of the loop he realized he d always used a loop in his art he decided to create the total facial structure with a loop executed from a low starting point looping up to do the nose the eyes and then down to do the mouth without stopping it had to be fluid and had to be accurate once completed he admired the result what he describes as great an abstract modern theme as a preparation for the loop people wayne experimented with bandaids using them to form a body on paper and adding human characteristics the object of art is to alter your perspective on how you look at things sometimes everyday things he explained after that work i ll never look at bandaids the same way again i framed the bandaid work and that set me on a quest to show how innovative i could develop art with this loop concept his experimentation with loops began to take off with an initial 10 ft x 20 ft creation made on four separate canvasses and now hanging in his son s home he progressed from the basic loop format to adding smaller loops to it his forms developed from simple nude humans to animals such as a baby pig and a rhino for this work he used very bright colors different than his past dark palates the concept of the loop people became to make everything in it out of loops this inspired a whole alternate universe different landscapes and unique forms soon he added scenes volleyball playing frisbee with a dog crab and pier fishing for the commercial aspect he wanted drawings with a broad appeal whimsical lighthearted and fun   figures 10 11   it s been a remarkable career for this lifelong artist from wayne rosetti s first sketches of army boots and painting of a bullfighter through scores of years learning new styles and techniques he has finally come full circle to a lighthearted modernism or should we say fullloop as his new delightful creations so well show  lagniappe seventysixyearold wayne rosetti has been painting since the age of twenty producing more than a thousand remarkable pieces this exclusive sampling of his life s work is a mustsee demonstrating his experimentation with multiple styles and media inspirations from van gogh picasso and da vinci draw attention with their fetching golden colors and demanding images religious influences with iconoclastic representations such as animal kingdom from the bible and holy man mix with africanstyle sculptures rosetti is experiencing a new wave of creative energy encouraged by his soninlaw roger applewhite wayne used found objects from applewhite s collection for new sculpture designs inspired by these new materials wayne taught himself to weld on youtube crafting yard art he repurposed old circuit boards bringing them to life as colorful characters combined scrap metal parts from ship parts into clever table top sculptures and he gave life to the loop people a modern abstract interpretation based on the concept of a single structured loop the object of art is to alter your perspective on how you look at things sometimes everyday things wayne explains initially representing people by adding features to single loops the work progressed to multiple loops of various sizes from simple nude humans to wild and domesticated animals including puppies pigs and even a rhino the eyecatching appeal of this work is heightened by the spectrum of imaginative themes displayed in bright contrasting colors wayne rosetti s captivating new art theme the loop people will be unveiled november 2 and 3 at the 2013 peter anderson festival in rosetti park created by roger and vicki applewhite the large tented area will feature wayne rosetti s captivating new art theme the loop people in a venue the applewhites call a muse market select artists will showcase their work in a venue of live music and a portable gallery featuring over forty years of never before seen original wayne rosetti artwork this temporary showcase is a prelude to the rosetti gallery that is expected to open in ocean springs on

states   william collins  18191895 was born in mullinautara rathcormac cork county ireland in may of 1819 he married susan cullen in liverpool england they arrived in this country through the port of new orleans in 1847 by sailing vessel which took three months to make the crossing this was the timeframe of the great potato famine of 1845 in ireland and many were looking for alternative means of survival it is believed that his passage was paid for by his good friend pat kennedy who settled in biloxi and wrote to him that the land was good for farming we believe he was born in may 1819 but there are some conflicting information concerning this date in fact there is some concern that his middle name might or might not have been dennis on the census records for 1860 1870 and 1880 he only listed his name as william collins the 1860 census record also indicated that his profession was laborer and that he can not read write the 1880 census record listed his profession as farmer the age that he gave the census taker would have make his year of birth be 1822 1821 and 1824 respectively frank collins jr visited county cork in 1982 and found that there are three distinct collins families who live in the farming community known as mullinautara which is outside the village of rathcormac he discovered this information from baptismal records in the parish church rathcormac is around 15 miles northeast of cork city rathcormac means town of cormac who was the tribal chief susan collins said that her grandmother susan collins used to correspond with someone in ireland regularly the address from letters that catherine black has would indicate that the area was west of cork near the town of macroom she said as bbest as she can remember it sounded like crackston or crockstown a map of ireland has a town by the name of crookstown a short distance from macroom we don t know if this is where susan originated from or if this is where both of them originated if william did come from west of cork ther is a possibility that we are related to ireland s greatest political figure michael collins according to patricia louise collins the oldest daughter of edward collins she tried to find out from uncle eddie where william was from uncle eddie was the oldest and spent time with william he said that william was from athune spelling ireland where he participated in the battle of atthune which patsy said was a river or creek where the irish stood the british off in a battle for seven days one of stories told to lillian rose collins william s granddaughter was that after the long voyage they landed in new orleans it took them an hour to get susan off the boat because there were blacks on the dock and she had never seen a black person before and thought they were devils she wanted to go back home to ireland william worked for a time in new orleans so that he could save the money to buy land in the handsboro area handsboro used to be between the cities of biloxi and gulfport they moved to biloxi in 1857 after living on west beach at debuys road for a few years they purchased an 80 acre tract with 484 feet frontage on pass road at debuys they started a large peach orchard from which they shipped peaches by the carload to new orleans via l n railroad unfortunately the climate changed and they were no longer able to grow fruit their home was the only dwelling between hansboro and biloxi when the citrus crops failed they replanted pecan trees i can remember going through the pecan orchard with my mother picking up pecans and filling grocery bags before paul and frank built subdivisions on the land the land extended from hansboro to where keesler field in now the family had donated the land where much of keesler is located to the city for a federal reserve park with the stipulation that if the city didn t want it it was to revert back to the family however it was taken by the government by eminent domain for the air base and as a small child lillian rose collins granddaughter of william and susan remembered going to the federal courthouse in a lawsuit protesting the government s action but they got nothing except 500 for the land lillian s favorite story was about the time william collins was getting salt from the ocean during the civil war when union soldier stopped him on the beach and told him they were confiscating the salt she used to say the hardest thing grandfather ever did was to tell those soldiers they could not have the salt because he was not a citizen of the united states but a subject of the queen of england victoria and therefore not involved in the conflict so he kept his salt at a great price to his loyalties of course the record showed he fibbed because he became a citizen in 1857 having been listed as a subject of the queen before that lillian also relayed the tale that at the time that jefferson davis hunting dogs from beauvoir would get into the fields and killed some of his cattle she said he sent notes to jefferson davis telling him to keep his dogs away from the cattle because they were killing them but davis did nothing about it the next time a calf was killed she said that william shot the dogs one thing that they always said and again repeated the summer before he died was williams hatred for the english and they always said he was drug through the streets of dublin in chains when asked why they just shrugged and said the english we don t know if he was involved in a forerunner of the ira or was just thrown off land and drug along to build roads or what and they would never

family in the united states  prepared by f walker tucei jr november 22 1999    biagio antonio tucci  18541932 immigrated to the united states in 1875 from bordeaux france he was born on december 9 1854 in trecchina italy to vincenzo tucce and serafina grisi he was their first born they had at least five other children besides biagio at least three of them including biagio came to the us the other children were joseph a came to the us in 18 catherine came to the us in 18 pipino seraphino and terichine trease this information was given to me in the mid 1960 s by my grandfather vincent joseph aloysious tucci there may have been a seventh child a daughter by the name of maria giovanna tucci see letter of john peter tucei dated august 10 1986 my grandfather did not mention maria giovanna during our visit if maria giovanna was not a daughter of vincenzo and serafina she could have been an unmarried sister of vincenzo who lived in trecchina we may never know on september 23 1999 june and i visited trechina italy which is a small and very beautiful town nestled in the hills of southern italy about 200 kilometer 125 miles south of naples to get to trecchina you take autostrade a3 interstate a3 south from naples to the first exit to maratea travel west towards maratea on highway ss 585 about 17 ½ kilometers to the exit sign for trecchina which is about half way between the autostrade and maratea once you exit ss 585 trecchina is another five kilometers interestingly i was never able to find a map that had the city of trecchina on it but it is there to give one an idea as to the size of trecchina the telephone book for the region i think that may be the county is about onehalf inch thick and each town has its separate section the city of trecchina had two pages of phone listing in the book while in trecchina we went to the municipla city hall and although we spoke no italian and they spoke almost no english we were able to communicate our desire to see the official birth record for biagio it is recorded in handwriting and is in perfect condition the book is much like a ledger maybe 12 inches wide and 18 inches long the manager of the office took the ledger off the top of a wooden book shelf and was able to locate the entry in a matter seconds we also saw the official record of the marriage of vincenzo and serafina on december 27 1851 the record of their marriage is three pages long and includes the official notices of intent to marry and is signed by all the witnesses to the marriage unfortunately we were not allowed to take a copy of these records as they informed us it is illegal to copy official records in italy we did take photos of the pages recording his birth and the marriage but the pictures aren t very good we did obtain a certified record of the birth of biagio and his parents marriage while in trecchina we also visited san michele arcangelo catholic church st michael the archangel in the town square since it is the only church in the city of trechina i presume this is where biagio was baptized and his parents were married there was no one at the church that we could talk with and we were told by the people in the city hall that the pastor dom guido barbella wouldn t be available until after 6 pm unfortunately we had to leave prior to getting the opportunity to inquire of the pastor regarding the records the church may have on the tucci family a plaque in the church has some reference to biagio we have a photo of it but aren t sure what it says i understand that the cathedral for the diocese is in maratea and it is named st biaggio s i was told by someone that biagio was named after the patron saint for the region and that may be true in light of these facts the phone book for trecchina contained no tucci s or grisi s in john peter s letter referred to above he mentions meeting an old lady that remembered the tucci s and said they had moved a number of years ago she thought they may have gone to largo negro which is east of trecchina and in the region as an aside june and i had lunch at a little restaurant on the outskirts of trecchina by the name of ristorante valle del noce di giovanna tortorella and it was very good i was told by my grandfather that biagio never returned to italy because he skipped the country owing a debt and if he had returned he would have been jailed in a letter from bless rusk dated august 3 1991 he mentions that biagio was sold into bondage by his father for five years to a man in florence to satisfy a debt of his father s the letter also said that in the second year of his servitude he ran away to bordeaux france and stayed there two or three years this all ties together to what i was told by my grandfather it also explains a couple of other pieces of information although it has long been believed that vincenzo tucci was not from trecchina this is apparently not true as the translation of the official record of is and serafina s marriage states that they were both born in trecchina if only i could have read italian i would have had the clerks in the office attempt to locate their birth records and any other information on the tucci surname that may be contained in the records in trecchina the tucci surname is rather common in the tuscany area of italy which includes florence i had suspected that vincenzo was originally from that area which would have explained why he had a debt to someone from florence but that theory no longer holds water the surname tucci is pronounced to chee in italian it is my understanding that in french the ci is pronounced as an e therefore the current pronunciation also most italians who immigrated to the us came to this country through ellis island in new york as we know biagio came in through new orleans which was the port of entry for most of the french that immigrated to the us since he was coming from france rather than italy which seems like a logical explanation these two pieces of information were obtained from domenico salomon the soninlaw of john peter during our visits with john peter s family in rome on september 11 and 18 1999 apparently solomon had spent some time talking to john peter before he became ill about the family history and genealogy as to why how and when the spelling of the surname got changed from tucci to tucei there are two different stories i was told by my grandfather and this has been confirmed by my father that when biagio entered the country the immigration authorities thought the second c as an e and that is how the immigration papers were prepared one day i hope to locate these records which should confirm if this theory is correct the other story which is from my discussions with bless rusk on august 29 1999 and domenico salomon in rome on september 11 1999 is that biagio had a sign made for his shoe shop in biloxi and the sign maker made a mistake in the spelling of the surname biagio never had it corrected and thereafter used the current spelling there are two things for sure first in the official records in trecchina his surname is spelled tucci and second anytime you encounter the spelling tucei you know that person is a descendant of biagio and is a blood relative the tombstone on biagio s grave in biloxi reads blaise tucei born december 9 1855 died january 21 1932 technically this has three errors first the name of blaise which was pronounced bless should be biagio when and why his first name was changed from biagio to blaise is also subject to speculation it is probably that this occurred while he was in france as blaise is a french derivative of biagio second the birth year of 1855 should be 1854 finally the surname of tucei should be tucci as this was never officially change to tucei to the best of my knowledge but so be it we are all tucei s biagio was never naturalized as a us citizen so there is nothing that could be learned about the spelling from that source his brother joseph who came to the us after biagio and also lived in biloxi did become a naturalized citizen may 17 1894 and for whatever reason biagio never forgave him for doing so this is according to bless rusk as mentioned before biagio came to this country through new orleans why how and when he sent to biloxi to live is not known we do know that he had a successful shoe shop on howard ave in biloxi and that he wan his brother joseph were among the 74 original investors on april 2 1896 in what is now peoples financial corp the peoples bank i have been told several stories about him one in particular may be of interest apparently in order to get leather for his shoe shop he would walk the railroad tracks from biloxi to new orleans to purchase his leather then he would take the train back to biloxi biagio married isabelle e lawrence in biloxi on january 4 1879 isabelle was born in biloxi on october 27 1857 but her family was originally from meaone spain as mentioned before biagio s sister catherine also immigrated to the us she married isabelle s brother joseph lawrence on september 20 1890 there for the descendants of biagio and catherine are double cousins the genealogy of the lawrence family has been documented by chris j lawrence jr and i have a copy of it  biagio a tucci  biagio antonio tucci was born on 9 december 1854 in trecchina italy biagio immigrated to the united states in 1875 from bordeaux france it was said that biagio was sold into bondage by his father for five years to a man in florence to satisfy a debt of his father s it was also said that in the second year of his servitude he ran away to bordeaux france and stayed there two or three years biagio never returned to italy because he skipped the country owing a debt and if he had returned he

popular dishes by ned hemard copyright 2013 another unusual dish is one still served and sought out in nashville tennessee it is raved about till this day created by a transplanted new orleans chef born in france his cafe can be seen in the center of this old photo of union street in nashville his name was xavier faucon and his specialty was the faucon salad  faucon s cafe at 419 union street in nashville tennessee   in an article published in the  new york times  april 6 2003 julia reed who was was with bobby harling author of steel magnolias wrote about a dining trip they made to nashville s belle meade country club that serves the kind of food that doesn t really exist anymore but that used to be found on ocean liners like the andrea doria and in hotel restaurants like washington s late lamented jockey club spiked with a dose of black southern soul there she wrote you will find ladies enjoying a cup of vichyssoise and nibbling on a canned pear stuffed with cream cheese and a datenutbread finger sandwich but also scarfing down fried hotwater corncakes dripping with butter she continued bobby and i ate platefuls of those same fabulous corncakes along with the faucon salad iceberg and romaine lettuce topped with chopped hardboiled egg crumbled bacon and homemade bleu cheese dressing the faucon salad they enjoyed at the country club in nashville actually had its birth in

establishment at 134 canal street with xavier faucon and rene lubeug listed as proprietors after gaining a reputation as an exceptional cook running a restaurant in new orleans in the 1880s he also owned a restaurant in biloxi mississippi xavier faucon moved to nashville tennessee where he and his son leon paul faucon ran a cafe people were captivated by the faucon salad it was the dressing s ingredients that were so satisfying when leon became ill in 1925 he returned to biloxi where he died on january 6 1926 xavier left nashville for biloxi as well retiring in 1926 in a farewell interview with faucon it was mentioned that an acquaintance once followed faucon all day in his restaurant but was unable to uncover the salad s secret back in new orleans at a recent meeting of the new orleans cultural and culinary preservation society aka tales of the cocktail held at arnaud s restaurant on bienville street in the french quarter arnaud s chef tommy digiovanni s classic creole menu included a choice of faucon salad or onion soup  en croute  gulf fish piperade or roast pork tenderloin with smoked onion and apple marmalade custard tart herbsaint liqueur and coffee kevin faucon claims his great grandfather was a master chief at arnaud s restaurant in the 1920s and 30s or perhaps earlier before moving to nashville immensely popular in nashville the faucon salad is still served there apparently in only three or four places j alexander s jimmy kelly s since 1934 and the belle meade country club jimmy kelly s steakhouse menu lists the original faucon salad as mixed salty bacon hard boiled eggs and bleu cheese served on our iceberg lettuce 675 it is also served at the cumberland club a private club established 1957 situated atop a nashville skyscraper the city center with a view over the state capitol  jimmy kelly s steakhouse still offering the faucon salad  by 1964 a motivated junior league member had managed to either obtain the recipe for the salad from faucon s descendants or imitate the dressing it appears in the old nashville seasons cookbook attributed to mrs jack bond  faucon salad dressing 1 lemon juice of 1 cup oil 1 tbsp vinegar from pickled onions 1 tbsp tabasco 1 tbsp sugar 12 tsp salt 14 clove garlic 2 hard boiled eggs 1 small green pepper minced 14 lb roquefort cheese 2 eggs uncooked lemon juice of 1 tbsp mayonnaise optional 6 heinz pickled onions add oil to uncooked eggs for mayonnaise add lemon juice and other seasoning to this mixture put toothpick in garlic clove so it can be removed mash hard boiled eggs onions and cheese together may add 1 tablespoon bought mayonnaise if desired helps keep it from separating let stand 24 hours and then remove garlic seems like removing the garlic is more of a nashville thing than a new orleans

washington avenue at old fort bayou during wwii it was converted into a small living space fifty years ago harry arnold iii a young naval aviator recently graduated from the pby seaplane school at pensacola discovered ocean springs lieutenant arnold had been ordered to the airsea rescue school at keesler afb in biloxi like many families arriving at keesler field in may 1944 the arnolds had a difficult time finding adequate housing their story is interesting and a part of our colorful local history in the words of harry arnold iii their initiation to ocean springs follows  i went uptown  biloxi  to see if i could find a real estate office the first one i found was a very small office with a gentleman by the name of sherman  mc sherman was a realtor and insurance agent located at 116 west howard avenue  sitting behind the desk i went in and said hello do you have anything for rent his answer was no i told him that i had been in the real estate business before the war and then proceeded to tell my sad story about desperately needing a place to live so i could send for my wife and child etc etc   mr sherman in a rather gruff manner said i have a little place over in ocean springs it isn t much but here s the key you can go and look at it i was excited to know that that there was at least something to rent because with all the military in the area rentals were very scarce i jumped into the car and raced across the bridge to ocean springs and down to the bayou to see a little one room octagonshaped house located at the rear of what is now the aunt jenny s parking area   it had one room and a very small step down kitchen area approximately 6 x 6 on one side and about the same size step down little bathroom on the other side the kitchen had a two burner stove no refrigeration the bathroom in addition to a basin and a toilet did have a shower furnishings consisted of a brass double bed a small cot a dresser small table and one chair the closet was a curtain hung from a wire strung across one of the octagon sides   to me it was a real find so i rushed back to sherman s office and said i would take it i think the rent was about 2800 per month we moved in within the next several days and were very happy to have our little bayou band stand our aircrew friends would often come over and we would all just sit on the bed because we had only one chair    mr sherman and i became very good friends and he taught me how to fish the bay he was a true southern gentleman who used to give me a hard time because i was a northerner from california i always regretted that at the time i didn t know that my great grandfather was in company h of the 3rd virginia infantry and was captured at richmond it would have put me in an even better relationship with mr sherman    our entertainment when i wasn t flying or fishing was to walk up the tracks to the train turn table and watch the locomotive engineer and fireman put a large timber into some brackets and slowly turn the engine around until it was reversed a special treat for a four year old boy   in late september of this year the arnolds returned to keesler afb for a fifty year reunion of his pby catalina emergency rescue squadrons which trained there in 1944 their nostalgia for life at ocean springs brought them across the bridge once more before they went looking for their band stand house on the bayou mrs arnold visited bayou belle and told proprietor dianne lala now dianne boyd of their remembrances of war time ocean springs in turn dianne related to the arnolds the restoration of the marshall park band stand their former home by hosa in 1989 after a visit to the park harry arnold described the refurbished structure as looking nice and regal as the center piece of marshall park

 sheep and wool a local industry long forgotten but still in the distant memory of those born around 1920 is that of range animals cattle and sheep once roamed the savannas and forests of harrison and jackson county foraging on the native grasses several families in the st martin and latimer communities north of fort bayou were especially well known for sheep husbandry some of these clans were the basque krohn lamey seymour lemien eglin havens letort and ramsay families the people living north of ocean springs in the piney woods were primarily subsistence farmers they raised corn and hay to feed their cattle and hogs had vegetable gardens and supplemented their incomes through charcoal burning lumber and the wool from sheep it was common for a farmer to own as many as a thousand sheep in fact the wealth of farm and country people was determined by their peers from the number of sheep that they possessed sheep were generally never enclosed in pastures the range was open to everyone and the stock animals of each owner mixed together this necessitated marks and brands to differentiate ownership of the animals from the books of stock marks and brands at the jackson county archives in pascagoula it can be ascertained the brands and marks of many individual animal owners for example in august 1919 mary doyle krohn registered her brand as a v on the right hip of the animal the brand and mark were valid for cattle sheep hogs and goats in the spring on an appointed day the stock owners had a round up on horseback they drove the free ranging sheep to a common meeting point called the parting pens here all the sheep were put into one pen and the lambs separated from them the ewes were then placed in a pen with the lambs when the lamb recognized its mother the two were caught and the lamb given the owners mark and put into the pen of the owner the individual flocks were then driven to the farm of each owner and shorn of their wool flocks of sheep generally grew slowly as frigid winters took its toll many lambs died in the spring from exposure after birth when turpentine stills were active in the area the dogs of the turpentine workers roaming the forest as well as wild hogs ate many young sheep eagles were troublesome to the farmers until they were nearly hunted to extinction the wool produced in coastal mississippi was classified as lake wool it brought a higher price than wool produced in counties further north as manufacturers considered it the very best septuagenarian bernard basque resided on the family farm north of fort bayou shared some of his childhood experiences concerning sheep husbandry he remembers well the spring when the ewes gave birth to a lamb twins were rare the lamb remained with its dam for about six months merino rams were bought in texas for breeding purposes after shearing the sheep with manual shears their wool was packed for market a man would stand in a tall burlap bag and compress the wool by hand when complete the wool bales would weigh twothree hundred pounds in the early days the wool was sent to ocean springs by wagon when the davis brothers were still active in the business by the 1930s merchant cliff dees 18861963 at vancleave was the area wool broker bernard basque recalls to well the day his father joseph basque 18921978 drove two thousand head of sheep to the farm of albert white located north of vancleave he walked the entire distance herding the stray animals bernard relates that there were no chuck wagons on these sheep drives their family mark was under square under slope the basque family had several uses for their sheep besides the commercial wool the mutton was often eaten as a stew baked or fried when a new baby was born into the family the hide of a freshly slain sheep was stretched and dried this sheepskin functioned as comfortable bedding for the youngster mrs basque and other women would card the wool into 4 x 6 squares called batts the batts were sewn between two layers of cloth and a warm quilt was created for bedding  colonial days the history of sheep and wool in this area cannot be traced to the early colonial years in april 1699 when d iberville 16611706 landed at present day ocean springs to build fort maurepas he recorded in his journal the following  my longboat brought from the cows that belong to surgere and me we brought them from france all those i got in st domingue haiti died three on board the francois one on the marain and four on the island where they had been placed ship island most people say it is the cold weather although it has not been cold  a few days later the frenchmen brought hogs and a bull to fort maurepas no sheep are mentioned  william r stuart it is not known with great certainty when the first sheep were brought into jackson county as early as 1878 colonel wr stuart 18211894 was raising merino sheep at ocean springs he also shipped pecans to melbourne australia in 1890 stuart had retired to ocean springs from new orleans on november 22 1878 stuart advertised his stock in  the pascagoula democratstar  as follows  for sale pure merino sheep 25 ewes 2 years old in april to lamb 15 january to 15 february by a

alone which is grown beyond the bay about 12500 worth has been marketed at ocean springs this year and while this city could not hope to secure all the wool trade there is not the least doubt but a large portion of that crop would be marketed in this city there are many other products which it is unnecessary to enumerate at this time that would be marketed here had we such a bridge across the

dramatically by october 1917 the price of wool reached 60 per pound nearly doubling prewar prices mutton cost the consumer 17 per pound at this time these inflated prices caused speculators to seek

his rural sheep ranch in an october 1917 interview with  the jackson county times  newton jones said  sheep suffer from the lack of attention just like a growing crop and for the best results to follow one has to give them attention or the enterprise becomes a failure in addition newton jones said   that the average sheep grown in this territory weighed but 40 pounds at maturity whereas lambs attained that size in the west in four months this difference is the result of neglect on the part of those engaged in raising sheep and they can be produced here of equal value to those in the west
