Photograph Discovered of World's Handsomest Man

Sixty-nine years ago, 21-year-old Buddy Baker looked in the mirror and said to himself, "Am I ever good looking.  I need a picture of this."  So he went to Simmon's Studio and had this picture taken.

We're fortunate to have this image of perfect male beauty preserved for future generations, but had this photograph not been taken, other images of Buddy Baker exist that are just as thrilling.

For example, here's one I took today of the same man.


Buddy has volunteered to be the grounds keeper at the Historical Society.  In addition to mowing the grass for the entire campus, he's cleaning up the lot around the old Davis Store.  That includes moving the mounds of broken bricks that have been heaped up against the store for several years now.  He's dug out about 12 feet along the north wall.


He doesn't have much further to go.
