Anonymous said...I remember well this cast of characters. Luther Parsons was always, well, different. Leroy Conant I never could figure out how he became mayor as he wasn't the friendliest fellow in town. This led to an interesting progression of short-term mayors including the aforementioned Klein Leister, Jack Killmon and even Evelyn Parsons! Evelyn was a real novelty as it was very unusual to have a female official of any sort, much less mayor, in the 1960s. J. Dawson Clarke finally stepped up to rescue Pocomoke City from its follies.
