as a Chancery Judge, was swearing you in at that time. I wish I could show them the picture but I don't have time, and you ought to be glad that I don't because you were a young, vivacious, and all that, and you had hair, brown hair, you even had a mustache. I had the pictures with it that showed the difference that comes about with time and so forth, maturity and so forth, but that was in 1953 when my daddy swore you in as District Attorney. Then we were in all these cases over here and then later Dale Morris. So you had plenty of experience in this courtroom. But I asked Pam to get me that file and she did. And she is a very competent clerk, I'll tell you that. I just wish she wasn't so timid and bashful. You know, every Christmas Pam will call me over in Gulfport and she said, "Judge, you know we're having the courthouse Christmas party and you better be here or else I'm going to beat your butt." I said, "I'll be there. I'll be there." And I usually am. My law clerk and I, he lives over in Bay St. Louis, goes back and forth, but he and I were here the last Christmas.
