Keesler artist wins annual poster contest for fifth time
Keesler artist Suzy Templin, left, and Biloxi Mayor A.J. Holloway unveil Ms. Templin’s winning entry in the 28th annual Biloxi Seafood Festival poster contest, July 16. Ms. Templin is a military fine artist employed by K-Mar Industries, the base’s multimedia contractor. The three shrimp boats in the poster — the Miss Suzann, Three Musketeers and Big Temby — represent Ms. Templin, her three sons and her late husband, Tech. Sgt. John Templin, an instructor in the 338th Training Squadron, who was killed by a drunk driver 18 months ago. Ms. Templin, who also won the contest in 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2003, won $500 for her winning entry. This year’s festival is Sept. 12-13. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kemberly Groue)
