Marian Ann Love: I am 85 years old and live high on the bluffs of a historical civil war town of Vicksburg, MS. I was born and raised here and attended St. Francis Xavier Academy, graduating in the Class of 1959. I started my government career at the Vicksburg District, U.S.A.C.E. I retired from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Waterways Experiment Station (now E.R.D.C.), with 25 years of service in September '95. I'm a proud mother of 4 daughters and 1 son (deceased), 6 granddaughters, 3 grandsons, and 5 great-grandsons. I have been deer hunting for 37 years now. In the last 5 years, I killed two wild hogs, one weighing 180 lbs. I always look forward to hunting season in our great Mississippi wild outdoors!
