IT WAS SAD TO SEE BABIES LOOKING LIKE THEY WERE DYING IN THEIR MOMA'S ARMS JUST FROM LACK OF CLEAN WATER TO DRINK. SEEMS IF NOTHING ELSE CLEAN WATER COULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO THEM FROM THE AIR. YES I REMEMBER PEOPLE DYING IN FRANCE'S HEAT WAVE AND WONDERED WHY ABOUT THAT ALSO. SAD. I WAS IN NEW ORLEANS IN 1978 VISITING A COUSIN. HE KNEW A GUY THAT HAD A GOOD MANY BOTTLES . HE TOOK ME AND ANOTHER COUSIN THAT ALSO COLLECTED BOTTLES TO THE MAN'S HOUSE. THE PERSON SHOWED US THE BOTTLES HE HAD . THEY WERE ALL NEW OLEAN HUTCHES AND WANTED A DOLLAR EACH FOR THEM! MOST WERE NEAR MINT OR MINT AS HE FOUND THEM UNDER SOME BUILDING HE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH. WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY WE BOUGHT ALL OF THEM AND DEVIDED THEM EVENLY TWEEN ME AND MY BOTTLE COLLECTING COUSIN. DON'T REMEMBER HOW MANY THEY WERE OR A LOT ABOUT THEM. REMEMBER ONE HAD ROYALE[?] STREET EMBOSSED ON IT. I WAS INTO PATENT MEDS AT THE TIME AND GOT RID OF THEM PRETTY FAST ,TO GET ME SOME MED. BOTTLES. DON'T REMEMBER WHAT I GOT FOR THEM,BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT WAS ALOT. LOVED GOING TO THE FLEA MARKET NOT FAR FROM BOURBON STREET AND ATE MY FIRST RED BEANS AND RICE. MAN I LOVED THAT CITY! JAMIE
] COURSE AT THE TIME NEW ORLEANS WAS 1ST OR AT LEAST ONE OF THE TOP THREE MURDER CITIES OF THE U.S.! I LOVED THE PLACE THOUGH! WISH I KNEW WHAT THOSE HUTCHES WOULD BE WORTH NOW. THAT IS A NICE SOUTHERN APOTHECARY BOTTLE, TWIN! JAMIE
