Found photo....can you help Steve Clark?

Posted by Kaye ‘63 on June 16, 2019, 9:23 pm

Steve Clark has found an old photo at a job site where he is working. He thinks these are familiar faces but he cannot place any names except possibly one is John Huff. Does anyone have any ideas?

Steve says, “On the back it says Brandon High School but unless I'm totally wrong these guys are from Forest. Pic was taken by Terry Wood Photography Tupelo, MS . Photo was found in the home of Louise Benton, art teacher at Brandon High School at one time. No idea what year.”

Well evidently they are not from Forest. I don't know why they look so familiar but any way y'all have a good day

Steve, I don't recognize any of these guys, but I sent it to a friend from Brandon. Maybe she will answer.

That’s a good idea, Lu Ann. It’s kinda fun just to see if we can find out....AND...someone might actually want this pic. That might make Steve RICH! Lolol. One thing about the pic, IMO the guy on the right looks older than the four standing. A Director or Lead or something like that?

Steve, Kay said she didn't recognize them as Brandon boys. She said she did know the lady really well.

According to my friends who grew up in Brandon, the name of this group is Vegas. The guy on the right is Jim Weatherly who dated a girl from Brandon while they were at Ole Miss. The girl was Mary Ann Mobley's sister. Jim is now a famous songwriter having written Midnight Train to Georgia and Rolling on the River just to name two of his many hits. He grew up in Pontotoc where we live. This town is so proud of him and celebrated Jim Weatherly Day just a few months ago. Since Pontotoc is near Tupelo, that explains the Tupelo photographer. Jim was also an outstanding athlete and played quarterback at Ole Miss.

Mystery Solved!

Lynda Sue, great investigative work! This is so interesting about another talented person from Mississippi! I googled Jim and oh my he is a very talented musician/songwriter.
