On a recent vacation trip to Alabama, Janet received this photo of Patsy Montana with her daughters Beverly and Judy. Here are her words:

Hi Paul, this photo was taken December 7, 1941 moments before the authorities told everyone on the beach to leave the area and told them of the ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR.

This beach was probably Santa Monica or anywhere along there.

I picked up the photo from Patsy's Daughter Beverly who is in the photo.

I also think that photo is a 'Treasure,' a 'Moment in Time,' or an example of WHAT AMERICA WAS DOING ON THAT DAY AT THAT VERY MOMENT.

We plan to have more photos from Janet's trip at a later date. Here are her similar words written while still on vacation, about a week before the message above:

I got a few photos of Patsy Montana with one special photo taken on Dec. 7th 1941 only a few minutes before the authorities told them to get off of the beach due to the attack on Pearl Harbor.

I believe it is a classic shot of life only moments before the world changed forever.

Thursday is called "Throwback Thursday" by many Facebook users, and Buck Helton chose to publish this gem on October 24, 2013. He granted permission to the webmaster to put it on our site, and states that it is "circa 1984." He messaged me that Janet took the photo.

You can visit Mr. Helton's Facebook page here, and visit his website here. Thanks a million, Buck!

What an honor to have seen this lady at the Mesquite Opry back in the 90s! Thank you, Janet, for maintaining your friendship with her, and bringing her to Mesquite back then, before she left us!
