From
'I SWANEE'
By Jim 'Spider' Dumas
DO YOU KNOW THESE TWO?
About 1952 a couple of Paris Army
buddies paraded along the old swimming hole at Paris Landing in their
bathing trunks. I understand that every young lady in Henry County sought autographs. The
two are Paris natives.
If you look closely at the picture you'll detect that the taller fellow is wearing his
Army dog tags around his neck.
The other fellow wearing the wrist watch, has his paratrooper wings around his neck.
