What a Great photograph! In those days adults looked out for all the kids in the neighborhood. I am sure your great grandparents not only watched Billy grow up, but your great grandma probably served Billy supper on more than one occasion. Ignore the perverts on this board by the way!!!!

GGM looks a little too young for GGP IMO.

That's an awesome pic. It's funny how college age folks seemed to look older back then. Billy could have passed for 35.

Cannon is one of the very few players from the
50s & 60s who could play in the SEC today.

I ran into Ronnie Eschte at Office Depot in Thibodaux. He was running off copies of a picture of he and Tommy Casnova holding up one of the Mikes (III maybe) when it was a cub. Really cool. He signed one and gave it to me. I can't remember where I put it.
