On Friday, the self-styled Mad Potter of Biloxi joined three others on the list - literary giants Eudora Welty and Richard Wright, and Emmett Vaughey, a leader in the development of Mississippi's oil industry.
And for those of us who enjoy visiting the Ohr Museum this is good news
That crazy potter, George Ohr, is again standing on his head for all the world to see. This time he's in the front window of his interim home at the historic Swetman House, where the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art today continues its weekend open house. The life-size statue of Ohr stood for years at the top of the museum's double stairway in the Biloxi Library building; it was unhurt by Hurricane Katrina's storm surge that damaged the library building.
