Another interesting side bit of information about the Lockwoods: Their sister Grace ended up marrying Buddy Blake, scoutmaster of one of the Boy Scout troops that met in the downtown area. In fact Buddy and Grace married at 7:00 one evening and because he had promised to take the troop camping, they loaded those young teenage boys and took them over to the Boy Scout camp. What a honeymoon! My husband Quentin was one of the scouts.

I didn't know. I've been out of town and just got back today. AC and his brother Billy were historians when it came to telling about Hawkshaw and the people that lived there. My uncle died two months ago and he was a great source about Pensacola History. AC never met a stranger, to know him was to love him. A great loss to the people that knew him.

Billy Cutts used to tell the story of how he got his scout uniform. . He sold New Papers on the cornor of Government and Palafox Street. Since Billy is in his eighties now, I'm assuming this would have been sometime in the 1930's. Billy joined the Boy Scouts but he didn't have enough money to pay for the uniform. The whole uniform cost around five dollars back then. Billy went to one of the local Businee Men and asked if he'd loan him the money to buy the uniform that only J.C. Penneys sold. (I wish that I could remember the name of the Business Man.) He loaned Billy the money to buy the uniform and he told Billy, " I'm loaning you this money but I want your word that you will come into my office every Saturday Morning and lay a dime on my desk, until the loan is paid off." Billy told about that being his first encounter of giving his word as a contract to pay a debt. He would smile when he told the story and say, " You know, I never missed a Saturday of going into his office and laying that dime on his desk". " It made me real proud to do that". I'm wondering if Buddy could have been the Scout Master or is he Billys age? Billy has Dementia and is in a nursing home. He knew more stories about Hawkshaw than AC did ( if that's possible ) Those two men could keep you entertained for hours with thier stories about Hawkshaw . Pensacola lost two historians . What a shame that none of those stories were ever written down. Thanks for sharing about Buddy Blake and Grace. AC and Billy's sister Helen married into my Kimmons family..
