LETTERS to the editor
LETTER from the editor
June signals a number of things in South Mississippi, including the beginning of summer with all it’s easy living, vacations and an influx of out-of-town visitors. We have the scoop about many of the area’s events this month.
The best thing in this month’s edition is the annual South Mississippi Living Meet the Doctors special section. It’s something residents have come to know and expect through the years. It’s dependable as a guide to who’s doing what
On behalf of all the Mississippi Gulf Coast pickleball players, thank you for the beautiful coverage you gave us in SML. Loved the layout and James Edward Bates did a great job with the photos. I sent him a message expressing our thanks.

The People story this month shines the spotlight on two of the Coast’s most colorful characters, veteran political consultants Reed Guice and Ted Riemann. After sitting down with these raconteurs, it’s easy to
