It finally dawned on me that my old aunt's address in Biloxy was 1911 Government St. Only took me 64 years to snap to that one.

One way to make that even better is if she had worked as a model.

That's it, but the place is a seafood restaurant now. It is completely different than when it was their house back in the '50's as the eye of Katrina came in at Ocean Springs/Biloxy. My cousin said most of the huge oak trees and the houses around it were gone. Loved visiting back when I was a kid of six or seven as my old uncle had guns scattered all over the house. He kept one box of them under his chest of drawers that had 3 WW1 Lugers, a mint very early 1911, 10 or so Remington single and double barrel derringers, a P38 and a few others. I had the run of the house and when I'd find a gun hidden, which he had a lot of, I'd bring it to him and he'd say " I haven't seen this thing since 1938, where'd you find it?" He had one of those German spike helmets and one of those big WWI German bucket helmets up in the attic I liked playing with. That place was a kid's dream.
