This picture showing Bert Pettus was taken right here in Nashville when Wallace Bros (then called Beatty-Wallace) played here in 1943. The occasion was a downtown War Bond rally at which Beatty made an appearance with a cage wagon full of cats and an elephant or two. He is presenting the kid with the first bond sold that day. And no, that is not a young Whitey; my mother always said I was much cuter than that. |
