Buster Bailey – Brother, Uncle, Great Uncle and Friend – by Dawna Lampert
Buster had the most wonderful smile and it was music to your ears to hear him laugh! Buster loved life and enjoyed taking many pictures over the years. From my youngest memories, Buster always was behind the camera. While I did not know Buster when he was younger, but from the many pictures, I can tell he was a sharp dresser and a lady’s man!
