Robert Allen Smith A small tuft of hair tucked where it should not have been – a medical mistake, really – piqued Dr. Robert Allen Smith’s curiosity and set him on a new career as a scientist/inventor/entrepreneur. What began as an accidental and unexpected discovery has made Dr. Smith noted in wound care circles. Keraplast products have gained attention around the world.

26 Judge Rhesa Barksdale

“Blessed” is a word that comes often to the lips of Rhesa Barksdale, senior judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. “I was blessed to be born into my family; I was blessed to become the leader of my platoon in Vietnam; I was blessed to receive my appointment to the federal bench.”

Born to Perform Sara Thomas Easley is a girl who knows where she is going. “To Yale. I can get a great education there, and it has a good drama department. My friend Olivia Stringer and I talk about it all the time.” Sara Thomas (she goes by the double name) loves her life at home, in school and performing. Especially performing.

ara Thomas Easley is a girl who knows where she is going. “To Yale. I can get a great education there, and it has a good drama department. My friend Olivia Stringer and I talk about it all the time.” Sitting on her living room couch, blonde Sara Thomas, looking much like a young Disney star in a puffy white jacket, holds her two-year-old sister, Lila, contentedly on her lap. In that snapshot you have this 12-year-old’s life pretty much wrapped up. Sara Thomas (she goes by the double name) loves her life at home, in school and performing. Especially performing. Sara Thomas, a student at Jackson Academy, has been fortunate enough through a winning appearance at the International Presentation of Performers (iPOP) competitions to acquire agents in Los Angeles, New York and New Orleans. She spent two months in Los Angeles in 2010 making the rounds of auditions during the television pilot season, and she has had additional auditions in New York City. She has auditioned for the role of Annie in a Broadway revival of the show of the same name. She has made two call-backs and is hoping for another. “If I could get into a Broadway show,” she says, eyes gleaming, “I would enjoy every minute.” Although she has yet to make it to the Great White Way, she continues to grace Jackson area stages with her considerable talent. At four, she auditioned for The Wizard of Oz at Actors Playhouse in Pearl and won a part as a member of the Lullaby League. Mother Lea tells, “A friend suggested I take her to the auditions, she was excited to try out, and loved being in the show.” This singer-dancer-actress has since appeared at Actors Playhouse as Chip in Beauty and the Beast, as Small Alice in Alice in Wonderland, and as the Littlest Who in Suessical. She played Gretl’ in The Sound of Music at Millsaps College. At New Stage she took the part of Dixie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, starred as Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker and more recently captivated her audience in the title role of Annie. At Jackson Academy she played the major role of JoJo in Suessical.

“If I could get into a

show, I would enjoy every minute.” - Sara Thomas Easley She is an accomplished actress and dancer, but singing is her favorite performance medium. Her vocal talents were apparent even in kindergarten. Marsha Revere, her kindergarten music teacher at JA, recognized that in Sara Thomas she had found an exceptional child. “When she performed, she was like a beacon. You could not turn your eyes away from her. I told her mother to get her into everything she could, to find every avenue to nurture this talent. Her parents have tried to do just that. They have supported and cultivated Sara Thomas in every way. I can’t wait to see what she becomes.” Sara Thomas has had a wealth of support from her family. Her mother, Lea, herself a dancer at Mississippi State, is an owner of Dancing Divas, a cheer and dance specialty store on I-55 North; her father, Cal, is a financial advisor and co-owner of Easley Investments Consultants in Flowood. Brother Turner, nine, is a student at JA, and Lila is the baby of the family. Easley family members have consistently fostered their oldest child in her reach for the stars. They have been willing to invest the considerable funds, time and effort to prepare her to move along the road to fame, including the best of the best coaches to mold her talents, and have put aside their own personal plans on a moment’s notice for out-of-state auditions. “We

had only two days’ notice to pack, obtain plane tickets, and get to New York for the Annie auditions,” says Lea. The 2010 Los Angeles auditions required a temporary move to California to make the rounds of the television pilot auditions. Grandmother Sherry McColgin facilitated that move by spending part of the two-month period with Sarah Thomas, transporting her to the television readings. Father Cal remarks, “We lean heavily on our family. My mother spent two weeks with Sara Thomas in Los Angeles to give Lea a chance to return home to tend to the family and her business. Lea’s mother has come from Alabama to care for Lila and Turner when Lea and Sara Thomas are out of town, and even my dad has pitched in to help out.” McColgin describes the Los Angeles weeks. “Most of the out-of-town children and their parents stayed in furnished apartments in a single complex which catered to child actors and provided a meeting room for many of the auditions. In the mornings the children met with a tutor, and for several hours Sara Thomas worked on her own lessons provided by JA. Each child did the same lessons he or she would have done in their home schools – book reports, special projects, homework.” Her parents are most grateful to Jackson Academy for the flexibility the administration and faculty showed when Sara Thomas auditioned out of town and again when she was performing mornings in Annie. Says Lea, “On both occasions the school provided her lessons by correspondence, and she was able to keep up with her classes.” McColgin continues, “Afternoons Sara Thomas

attended any auditions scheduled for her, some at the apartment complex, some elsewhere. I had my GPS to help me get around. During free times we did some sightseeing. My main job there was to feed and entertain my granddaughter.” Sara Thomas says that the auditions are not nearly so glamorous as in the movies. “You wait in a room with lots of others who are auditioning. When they call your name, you go down a long corridor and into a small room where several people sit. You introduce yourself and do your audition. Then you leave and hope for a call-back.” When Sara Thomas was only six, she began voice lessons with Winona Costello. “Her mother brought her to me,” says Costello. “I normally do not take children that young. Some kids have the ‘it’ factor, and when I heard her I knew she had ‘it.’ The first or second summer I took her to New York to a week-long musical theatre workshop. They loved her there, they took her under their wing. She was a hit. She is a triple threat. She can dance, sing, and act. That is what musical theatre wants, and she’s got it. I can’t say enough good about her.” Bob Westbrook of Memphis is her manager, and he prepared Sara Thomas for iPOP auditions two years ago, and acquired agents for her. He enthusiastically speaks of her potential. “Sara Thomas is short for her age, which gives her greater flexibility in the roles she

LIVES THEM.”

“When she sings, you feel it in your bones. She feels her roles, she

- Sherry McColgin

can play. She has a good memory for lines, a great ear for music, and a terrific voice.” Sara Thomas has been singing and acting for years now, but she took up dancing only three or four years ago. Melanie Creek is her dance teacher at Xpress Dance in Madison. Creek acknowledges that Sara Thomas is a hard worker and takes her dancing seriously. Within two years of beginning lessons she auditioned for and was selected to be a member of the Xpress dance company which travels to and competes in nationwide competitions. “Sara Thomas definitely has the dance skills necessary to work on Broadway.” Father Cal enjoys his daughter’s success. “It’s been fun to watch her perform. She has such passion and heart. Her success has been overwhelming.” Sara Thomas’ brother, third-grader Turner, is into

sports, likes to hunt with his father, and has his own musical gifts. He sings and writes songs. “His sister’s notoriety has been a non-event,” according to Cal. “This is the way he has always known her.” Lila, though young, likes to sing along with Sara Thomas when she is practicing, so there may be more Easley performers in the offing. According to Cal, theirs is a musical house. “We all sing, though some of us only sing in the shower.” Sara Thomas’ grandmother says “of course” her granddaughter will make it to Broadway or the movies. “When she sings, you feel it in your bones. She feels her roles, she lives them. She has such a sweet spirit, such a sweet disposition. She is bright, mature and a real fighter. She wants to perform and is so grateful for her gifts and for what her family and teachers have done to help her succeed.”

qbkkfp ^as^kq^db MISSISSIPPI JUNIOR CLOSED QUALIFIER JUNIOR PLAYERS FROM THE NORTHSIDE

DOMINATED

by JENNY MARKOW

uring the recent Mississippi Junior Closed Qualifier, junior players from the Northside dominated. When the final match was completed and all winners were crowned, seven out of 10 singles champions and nine out of 10 doubles champions were from the tri-county area. The Ridgeland Tennis Center has hosted these championships for the last 13 or 14 years. In addition to RTC, courts at River Hills Tennis Club and Country Club of Jackson were also used. “This year’s tournament ran without a hitch,” says tournament director Cheryl Harris. “With a tournament of this size we always have a few issues, but this year we had none. The parents and players all are to be commended,” continues Harris. Several tennis facilities across the area sponsored warmup camps for players to attend prior to the tournament. Kent Shultz is the director of player development for USTA Mississippi and I talked to him about why he thinks the local kids did so well this year. “The juniors seem to be playing each other more than they used to. In the past, they really only met each other at tournaments. All of the local pros are encouraging them to play each other, which I believe has been one of the deciding factors in their success,” says Shultz. The winners in the age groups are: Girl divisions: 10s Juliette Finch, 14s Meredith Roberts, 16s Turner Yates; Boys divisions: 10s Mathis Billman, 12s Darius Kent, 14s Stedman Strickland, 18s Phillip Qu. Doubles winners in the girls divisions are: 10s Emman Dye and Emma Roberts, 12s Faatamah Bashir and Callie Billman, 14s Megan Humphreys and Meredith Roberts, 16s Katie Rico and Victoria Roberts. In the boys doubles divisions, winners are: 10s Mathis Billman and Jackson Ward, 12s Darius Kent and Christopher Rios, 14s Trey Randall and Saideep Reedy, 16s Travis Bell and Brighton Lowther, and 18s Robert Mounger and Phillip Qu. Players who qualify during this tournament travel across the southern section to play in the Southern Closed Championships. The 10s went to Memphis and out of 22 who qualified, 19 were from the Northside. Mathis Billman of Brandon led the way for both the boys and girls by finishing second in both singles and doubles. Tennis is by no means the United States Postal Service, but to alter a slogan often referred to as their motto: Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds, neither rain nor heat nor gloom of night can halt a USTA League Adult MS Championship. The 2012 Championship was recently held on the Gulf Coast during a long weekend of much needed rain for that area.

“We have been very fortunate throughout the years that we haven’t experienced more rainouts during our championships,” reports Lindsey Sartain, director of adult leagues. “Although the play was finally canceled totally on Sunday, we were able to get most all of our matches played during the four-day championships, thanks to an incredible group of volunteers and local league coordinators,” continues Sartain. Once play was canceled and the committee met, the decision was made to give each division the opportunity to play out what ever matches they had left to determine the champions in each level. “We feel very strongly that the most important result of any championship is that Mississippi is sending the best teams to the Southern Sectionals Championships.” Last year, Mississippi had a national championship team, Carrie Stark’s 3.0 women from the Jackson area. Although many of the champions have been determined, you can find all the winners by going to http://www.msadultchamps.com. Congratulations and good luck to all 2012 USTA League adult champions. For the last five or six years, the USTA president has given all 17 sections tickets to the US Open in the president’s box for local Community Tennis Associations (CTA) to use as a fund-raiser. The tickets must generate a certain amount of money for the CTA. In the Southern Section, each state receives two tickets and offers them out to interested CTAs across the state to use to raise money. The New Albany, West Point and Tri-County CTAs have each had the opportunity to sell the tickets. For 2012, Tri-County received the tickets and had a raffle to raise money. The winning ticket was drawn during the USTA League Adult Championships on the Gulf Coast. Greg McNair from Jackson is the lucky winner. Greg has been buying tickets for the last five years, never dreaming he would ever win. He bought three tickets from Julie Jackson, the CTA treasurer and his reaction to the phone call is pretty funny: “I received a phone call on The 2012 winner of the US Open tickets to the President’s Friday night, June 8. I knew the Box raffled off by the Tri-County CTA is Greg McNair. Shown tournament was going on, but I with him are longtime friends Stephanie Hammond (left) and Lisa Washburn (right). wasn’t even thinking about the

qbkkfp ^as^kq^db tennis trip drawing. I let the call roll into my voice mail and a message appeared. I checked the message and when I heard the person call say he was Dennis Miller ... I thought what prankster buddy of mine is doing a Dennis Miller impersonation (ala Saturday Night Live)? Then I recognized Dennis’ voice and I jumped for joy like a 10-year-old kid. Santa Claus came early this year. I still can’t believe I’m going to attend the US Open through this raffle opportunity. One of my mixed doubles teammates (Tracy Mason) won the US Open raffle a few years ago, so I will have to pick were such fun trips. In 2009, I was able to see the eventual women’s and men’s singles champions play in early rounds, Kim Clijsters and Juan Martin del Potro, plus watch the Bryan brothers in a doubles match ... all of which were played at Louis Armstrong Stadium. I have never been inside Arthur Ashe Stadium, so knowing I will not only be in Arthur Ashe, but in the president’s box is more than I can comprehend. I’m very excited about this opportunity and wonder what players I may get to see play that day at Arthur Ashe.” McNair was born and raised in Philadelphia. Greg lived in Atlanta for more than 10 years before moving back home. While living there, he became involved in ALTA tennis leagues through some friends and that’s how he started playing tennis on a regular basis. In 2000, he moved back here and immediately started playing USTA league tennis. For the last five to six years, mixed doubles has become his favorite league. “I captain an 8.0 mixed team and this is our fifth year together with a core group of friends. I’ve really enjoyed the fellowship and match play with them. Plus, our women teammates over the past five years have always rocked,” says McNair. “In Atlanta and especially here in Jackson, tennis has allowed me to meet some of the finest people around and I feel like I have lifelong friends due to USTA participation. There are so many good tennis players here in the Jackson area and in Mississippi in general. For our population base, Mississippi is a terrific tennis state. Thanks again to the USTA and Tri-County CTA for offering this chance through its fund-raising efforts and thank you

The 2012 USTA League Adult Championship was held on the Gulf Coast. Teams from Jackson that will go to Mobile to compete during the USTA Southern Sectionals are:

Julie ‘Jazz’ Jackson for selling the winning raffle ticket.” Greg is a senior loan review officer at Trustmark Bank. The top adult players from the nine states in the Southern Section met May 31-June 3 for the 2012 Southern Senior Cup in Huntsville, Ala. The weekend consisted of more than 300 players in team competition for men’s and women’s 35s through 75s with two singles and one doubles match. Despite a rain delay on Friday morning, the weather was perfect, and the team camaraderie and spirit was at its best. This was by far and away the closest race for all of our championships. All of the states in the Senior Cup 2012 should be proud. This just reinforces that the Southern Senior Cup continues to be the crown jewel of adult competition in the South. Tani Deaton and Joc Simmons did another remarkable job in serving up another fabulous championship this year. The Southern Cup would not be possible without the work of our dedicated 18 captains, who have coordinated the schedules and arrangements for three to five teams for their respective state. Marty Pearson from Oxford and Linda Thompson from Brandon were the Mississippi team captains. When playing tennis in this heat, please remember to hydrate before you head to the courts.

“RED, RED WINE” I'm gonna love you till I die and that’s no lie!

TEXT AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY

ven before I learned about wine for college credit and was romanced by the wine rooms of Sonoma County, I was fortunate to have grown up with a vineyard in my backyard. Well, vineyard may be a stretch - but when my parents bought my childhood home the sellers actually produced wine from the grapes they grew themselves.

northside sun

M A R L A N A WA LT E R S Marlana Walters, Proprietor The Everyday Gourmet

Until my mother corrected my recollection of the origin of our family vineyard, I firmly believed that we had a little vineyard in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. I was five years old when we moved from Lexington to Greenwood so my version of the vineyard acquisition is grandiose, as some (but not all) of my memories were accurate. As I recall, my parents took my sister and me in search of a new house. We began with a tour of a couple of homes and my parents really liked one in particular. The real estate agent could tell my parents liked the bedroom to bathroom ratio and the overall layout. So in an effort to seal the deal, the real estate agent began to describe all of the amenities of the house, which included grapevines across the back portion of the property. My sister and I leapt for joy - grapes, yum. Even my mother’s interest was sparked by the mention of fruit production. My mother proclaimed, “I could make grape jelly.” The agent was quick to squash all of our visions of Welch’s grape juice and jelly dreams as she informed my parents that the vines were wine grapes not table grapes. Since I knew nothing about wine, except what I’d seen on an episode of “I Love Lucy” of Ethel and Lucy stomping grapes, I still held out hope that the vines would bring about some entertainment for my sister and me. My dad must not have shown the same level of enthusiasm that my mom, sister and I displayed for the wisteria-like vine. The agent could tell

she’d lost the interest of the parties paying the bills and in an effort to sweeten the deal for my parents she said the owner would throw in bottles so that they could make wine in the fall. “We’ll take it” and just like that my parents purchased the one and only vineyard in North Greenwood. I am not sure if it was the grapevines or the bottles that made my parents buy the vineyard. Regardless, they didn’t need to sleep on it before making an offer. Truthfully, my parents liked the house so they bought it. My mother wanted me to clarify that they did not buy the house for the vineyard (the 10 grapevines growing along the alley behind the house) nor did they ever make wine. However, Mom did confirm that the bottles used for making wine by the

FOODWISE previous owner were part of the purchase agreement. Soon after we moved into our new home, the wine bottles in our attic were the only proof that the vineyard ever existed. My dad was quick to convert the vineyard into a dog pen. Fast forward through the next few years of my childhood, (no grapes - just dogs barking in the backyard) suddenly the song “Red, Red Wine” becomes a pop hit and even though there was no wine in our house I was singing about red wine making me feel so fine. Neither of my parents sang along to the catchy tune and since they had closed the vineyard, I could only assume that we had chardonnay instead of cabernet grapes growing in the dog pen. Twenty years after first hearing the UB40 version of Neil Diamond’s “Red, Red Wine” I can actually relate to the lyrics. Red wine is my absolute favorite of all the types of wine. My preferred variety is pinot noir – Oregon pinot noirs to be more specific. Oregon’s cool climate is perfect for growing the arduous pinot noir grape. Unlike the cabernet sauvignon grape, which will grow pretty much anywhere, pinot noir is known as an extremely difficult grape to grow and to make into wine. When you find a really good pinot noir it can be amazing, just as a bad one can be absolutely awful. Red wine is different from white not only in color, but in the complexity of aromas and flavors. Reds are often blended more than white wine to balance the tannins and enhance the fruit flavor. White wine is often described as acidic, while red wine is tannic.

TERMS USED WIDELY IN RED WINE DESCRIPTIONS: Blend: A wine made from more than one type of grape. Can be made from multiple types of grapes to produce a wine (combining merton and cabernet sauvignon to produce a red table wine) or the same variety of grape used to produce a wine (pinot noir from multiple vineyards to produce a pinot noir wine). Bouquet or nose: Various smells and fragrances created by a wine’s development, aging – whether in the barrel or in the bottle. Breathing: Allowing air to reach the wine by either uncorking, pouring into a glass or decanting that eliminates unpleasant odors and brings out the aroma and bouquet. Aerating is a common method used to speed up the breathing process. Legs: Trails or streaks of wine remaining on the sides of the glass after wine is swirled. Longer legs indicate higher levels of glycerin (a soft, almost oily tinge on the palate) and alcohol. Tannin: Creates a bitter or astringent character in wine, and is an important preservative for the proper aging of certain red wines. Tannin is the result of a chemical compound in a wine and it typically comes from the wine skins and seeds. You cannot directly taste or smell tannin, but it’s the reason you will at times feel like a wine makes your mouth pucker. Aging reduces the effect of tannin in red wine. Vintage: The year grapes used to make the wine were harvested, not the year the wine was bottled.

VARIETIES OF RED GRAPES AND MAJOR CHARACTERISTICS: CABERNET SAUVIGNON (Ca-burr-nay so-veen-yaw) Higher quality cabs age well, and develop a variety of five or more tastes within it. Characteristics: Cabernets have a high tannin content, but can be mellow and mild, hearty or rich. Generally the color is dark purple or ruby, medium to full-bodied, and has an array of aromas and flavors with the primary taste being black currant. Regions: Cabernet is grown all over the world - Australia,

Canada, France (Bordeaux), Lebanon, South America, United States (California, Long Island and New York). GAMAY (ga-MAY) With its lower alcohol content, gamay is meant to be drunk soon after it is bottled. Gamay grapes are used to produce beaujolais nouveau wines and are not suitable for aging past two years. Characteristics: It is fresh, low in tannin, light and fruity. Region: France (Beaujolais). MALBEC (Mal-bek) Malbec is often blended with other varieties such as cabernet sauvignon and merton to make bordeaux style wines. The tannins are typically low and balanced. Characteristics: Generally it produces an easy-drinking style, well colored wine that tastes of plums, berries, and spice. Regions: Argentina, Australia, Chile, France (Bordeaux and Loire Valley), United States (California). MERLOT (Mare-lo) It is one of the more drinkable types of red wine with its low acidity and mellow softness. Characteristics: Merlot is known for the flavors of plums, black cherry, violets, and orange. Regions: Australia, Chile, Italy, Romania, United States (California and Washington). PINOT NOIR (Pee-know na-wahr) One of the noblest red wine grapes. Pinot noir is difficult to grow and rarely blended with other grapes. Characteristics: The structure is delicate and fresh, with soft tannins and fruity flavors of cherry, strawberry, plum and sometimes notes of tea-leaf, damp earth, or worn leather. Regions: Australia, Austria, France (Burgundy), New Zealand, United States (California, Oregon and Washington). SANGIOVESE (San-gee-oh-ve-zee) Sangiovese is best known as being the fruity, fresh wine that is at the core of all traditional Italian chianti wines. Characteristics: Sangiovese is a rather hefty red wine, and goes well with traditional Italian dishes and well-seasoned foods with flavors of fresh berry and plum. Region: Italy (Tuscany). SYRAH (or Shiraz) (Sah-ra or Shi-raz) Shiraz or Syrah are two names for the same variety. Europe vintners only use the name syrah. Characteristics: The syrah variety can produce big hearty reds and has been known to produce some of the world’s finest wine with intense flavors and excellent longevity. Cooler growing temperatures bring out the spicy, peppery flavors while warmer climates bring out the mellower flavors of plum and blackberry. Regions: Australia, France (Rhone Valley), United States. ZINFANDEL (Zin-fan-dell) Perhaps the world’s most versatile wine grape, making everything from blush wine (white zinfandel), to rich, heavy reds. Characteristics: Zinfandel is a spicy, peppery wine, with a hint of dark cherries or berries often the taste range. Region: United States (California). Generally younger vintages are higher in tannin and are reduced with age. Pay close attention to the age and variety of a grape when making a wine selection. In general, more expensive vintages ($25 and up) get better with age than less expensive red wines (under $12). You can buy a case of $10 wine, but chances are it won’t taste better in 10 years. I love to do tastings – and blind tastings are a great way to test your palate. As a suggestion, at your next dinner party, purchase two bottles of wine with the same vintage and region with the only difference being the price. Just for fun see if anyone can tell the difference. You may be surprised by the outcome. You will also be surprised by the difference in the taste of a decanted or aerated wine verses a wine poured directly from the bottle. The exposure to air can totally transform the aroma

and flavor of a glass of wine. I use a vinturi wine aerator for almost every glass of pinot that I pour into my Riedel glass and the difference in the taste is notable. Similar to the enhancement of the flavor of wine brought about by breathing, so is the character of the wine when paired with food. Red wines are natural compliments to heavier dishes. The intensity of red wine can range from light to big and bold. As a rule - the heavier the fare, the bigger the red wine paired with the dish.

WINE AND FOOD PAIRING GUIDE FOR THE MOST POPULAR VARIETALS OF RED WINE: Just as white wines have vast differences by variety and growing region, red wines can range from subtle to overpowering. A light and fresh beaujolais nouveau is meant to be enjoyed immediately after it is bottled. In contrast, a cabernet sauvignon often gets even better with age. Unlike white wine, red wine is noted to have health benefits. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Red wine, in moderation, has long been thought of as heart healthy. The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent heart disease by increasing levels of ‘good’ cholesterol and protecting against artery damage.” However, I wouldn’t start guzzling red wine if you have a heart condition just because the Mayo Clinic said red wine has health benefits. Marilyn Monroe looks pretty happy on the bottles of Marilyn Merlot and the Norma Jean (a young merlot), but we all know that didn’t end well. As the song says Red, Red Wine makes you feel so fine, it will also go to your head. Trust me on this one, red wine will make a steak dinner taste better, but it will not make you forget your troubles – after the bottle is finished, you still have to do the dishes.

and so do our readers! Don’t let your party end when the guests go home. Keep it going by submitting pictures from it to the Northside Sun Magazine. It’s Easy. Just make sure when using a digital camera to have the setting at the highest resolution possible and e-mail them to us or submit a CD. Or the old fashioned way using film prints still works great!!! Type up something about the fun event and identify everyone in the photos and it’s done.

And remember we like photos exclusive to us. Still have questions? Gives us a call: 957-1122 or e-mail jimmye@northsidesun.com
