The Life of Shelton Doyle Blalock, Everyday American. Doyle Blalock was a son, submariner, husband, mailman, father, gardener, rockhound, artisan, grandfather, and friend: a regular guy with a remarkable life. What makes him particularly remarkable, though, is that his grandson,
Lance Dean, created such a thorough record of his life to share with the internet, from
Doyle's childhood in Golden Grove, Mississippi, his service as
a sailor during World War II, his return to Mississippi and marriage to
the lovely Lodena Alexander, to his post-retirement vocation as an artisan,
creating "sand paintings" and
demonstrating his art.
