Oh Tim... The spammers have hit your mom's guest book... I hope you can clear them off...
I had the pleasure of meeting your mom in Oct of 2003... about 2 months after I had heart surgery... She gave me quiet the talking to about what I was going to do with the rest of my life and in so doing, shared her life story with us... She was so entertaining, we could have stayed all day... but one of those tour buses came up and her tiny place got crowded so we had to leave... I had always wanted to go back for another visit and get more of her prints... The one I wanted I didnt get, I think was titled... The House is Blue but the ole Lady Aint... I still have hopes of getting it... I didnt see it in the listings you have on this site... Hope Katrina didnt damage you too bad...
I will forever treasure the memory of your mom and the day I was blessed to meet her and visit with her...and Herman... RFGay

3 years ago we had the priviledge of meeting Miss Alice and Herman. They were a delightful "couple" to meet and we shall never forget them. We proudly have 7 of Miss Alice's paintings hanging in our living room in New Jersey. Enjoy this site and all of Tim's comments. (There has to be a place in Heaven for ALL of our little doggie friends who have gone on before us.)

I was amazed to see that the little blue house was not harmed. I have several of your mom's prints, some with personal messages written on the backs. I first found the prints while strolling through Bay St. Louis and loved her work, especially the humor noted in the prints. Whenever a family member would visit from out of state, I would take them to Miss Alice's and we would sit on the floor and look through the prints while visiting with Miss Alice and her four legged friend. We have a home in Bay St. Louis on the back bay which sustained much damage but we plan to rebuild. We consider ourselves fortunate. If anyone has the opportunity to visit the MS Gulfcoast, you cannot believe the devastation. There are people still living in tents and are relying on churches, the Red Cross and the military to help them survive. The people of the MS Gulfcoast are rolling up their sleeves and rebuilding because it is hard to leave such a great place. Miss Alice was a part of what made Bay St. Louis such a unique place.

It appears I am not the only one that has been so concerned for Miss Alice's home and her son Tim. I am so happy to hear that the spirit of Miss Alice protected the little blue house and that her paintings were removed before Katrina. I agree that Tim should move to Bay St. Louis, but am saddened to hear of the loss of his home. Even though I know Tim is trying to purchase original paintings for the museum, I think the diaspora of her work is insurance against a catastrophic event.

Tim, Our prayers are with you for the restoration of your home, or perhaps you will relocate nearer Alice's home and museum. We were all so blessed to hear her home survived Katrina's fury. I have thought about you and the museum daily. Now more than ever I am anxious to complete the distribution of the film "Hello, I'm Alice" to all of the schools in Mississippi. Keep us posted of your needs...

Hey Tim, My parents lived next door to your parents at Plum Point in North Mississippi. The Wickhams. Anyway, sure is glad to hear about the house and museum being ok.

Hope you doing ok. Sherry Wickham Hopkins Moseley Drive Plum Point, Ms.

I am from Batesville and have visited your Mom's studio/house several times and have so wanted to know if you, Tim, survived Katrina as well as the house and paintings. Our prayers are with you and glad you went to Clinton for safety. I worked at the Batesville Library and loved seeing "Miss Alice" and pray her works are preserved.

Can someone please tell me if Alice's artwork was moved from Bay St. Louis before the Hurricane Katrina destruction? If so, where was it moved and can it be viewed? Thank you, Greg Wingrove, e-mail: gregwin@yahoo.com.

I MISS THE UNIQUE AUNT THAT I CARED VERY MUCH FOR BECAUSE OF HER LAUGHTER, MEMORIES OF LIFE AND FAMILY, HER JOY FOR LIFE EVERY DAY SHE LIVED. SHE WAS AN INSPIRATION OF POSITIVE MOTIVATION BECAUSE SHE GAVE SO MUCH OF HERSELF TO MANY FRIENDS, FAMILY AND STRANGERS. SHE HELPED WHERE SHE COULD TO THOSE SHE FELT DESERVING OF A CHANCE TO MOVE AHEAD IN LIFE. ALWAYS THE SHOOLTEACHER SHE WAS DEDICATED TO ALL PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO LEARN ABOUT HER TALENT AND LIFE AS SHE REMEMBERED IT AND LIVED IT. HER SENSE OF HUMOR WAS SO REFRESHING. TODAY IS 9-10-2005 - HURRICAN KATRINA HAS DEVASATED BAY ST. LOUIS. I AM AFRAID HER LITTLE BLUE HOUSE (MUSEUM) IS GONE. TIM I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU REGARDING YOUR WELL BEING AND THE STATUS OF HER HOME. MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS vmosfloyd@msn.com. ALL OF YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS.

We were let to visit Alice's Little Blue House April 2004 by a dear friend Jill Mack who had purchased some of her works. We of course bought 3 prints and fell in love with Herman. While checking out the area through the satellite imagery, we located your museum and saw it to still be standing. We were so sorry to learn through this website of her passing away just 2 months after we had visited. We absolutely were taken with her and Herman. We are thrilled to now read that the house and museum are intact and she still oversees it from above. Glad you are up and running.

I don't know if you remember me but I was one of Alice's 8th grade English students in Memphis and I came to visit you and the museum last year? and we had dinner. I am so happy to hear that you weathered the storm and I hope that your house did so too. Thanks for posting the message on the web site about you and Herman and the museum as I have been concerned if you all made it. I wasn't sure if you had time to remove all the paintings before the storm. Not that it is more important than you and Herman but it would have been a big loss if the paintings had of been destroyed by Katrina. I believe Alice is still in charge and made sure that her "Little Blue House" and you and Herman were fine. I sure do wish she was still here because I know there would be a great Katrina painting in the works. If there is anything I can do for you please let me know. I was very concerned for you and added your name to the data base on the Gulf Coast News website and it still says unknown so I will go in or you can and enter your information so everyone will know you are ok. The site is www.gulfcoastnews.com. Again, if there is anyting I can do for you please let me know. Debbie Young Middleton - 678-478-0764

I visited Bay St. Louis in October 1996. I was in the process of doing a volksmarch (10K hike) in all 50 states. Alice's house was included in the hike. I went in and looked at her art. I wanted to buy one, but didn't want to carry it while hiking. She invited me to come back after hours and she served me iced tea and we chatted quite a while. I love the print of the train station I bought. I had always hoped to return to Bay St. Louis again. After Katrina Alice was on my mind. I read here of her death. She didn't have to live through the devastation of her beloved adopted home. I hope her museum can be saved. The city was so quaint and welcoming I can't believe the damage I see in the papers and on TV. The people there are in my thoughts and I hope I still can return someday to a rebuilt Bay St. Louis.

Hi, when I learned about the damage from the hurricane in Bay St. Louis, my first thoughts were of Mrs. Moseley. I met her in 1998 when I interviewed her so that I could do a research paper on a live artist. She was a remarkable lady and I appreciate that even more now than then. As I searched for information about her, I found this website and learned of her death in 2004 and was deeply saddened. During our visit, she talked some about you and her pride was obvious. The website is great. My best wishes for you, the museum and Bay St. Louis.

God Bless you, Tim Moseley, and all the fine people of the beautiful Bay St. Louis. I visited my friend Juliana Stoltz there and was very fortunate to meet and visit with Alice Moseley. I am proud to have several of her prints on the walls of my home. All of Bay St. Louis is in my prayers for a safe and speedy recovery from the horrible hurricane. Becky Wilson

I am with David and Lisa Bouis at my cousin Bess Cribbs in Clinton Mississippi, near Jackson., e mail bessmc@mailstation.com , phone 1 601 9246287. We are all fine and have no problems except no cable tv and questionable phone service here in Clinton we have heard nothing specific about the museum my house or the Bouis's house the museum is located at 214 Bookter Street, the Bouis' house is located at 227 Corinth Dr. in Bay St. Louis, and my house is at 220 Henderson Avenue in Pass Christian. We are of course very anxious about what is left if anything and would appreciate any information that anyone seeing this could provide. Landmarks that might provide clues are the depot and Casino Magic in Bay St. Louis and Trinity Church in Pass Christian. Whatever the future holds we will be ok and we are lucky to have the ability to get our lives restarted. Tim.

Sorry to hear about the death of Mrs. Moseley. I ordered two prints about 8 years ago and really love them. One of them was the "Cousin Kitty from the Crescent City". I am a liscensed Funeral Director/Embalmer and have it displayed in our funeral home. The other print was "Life Is So Daily" and it is in our home. I have really enjoyed both prints and wouldn't take a gold mint for them. Thanks

I moved from MI to MS last July. When my mom came down for a month, we went exploring. That is when we found Alice's home. We fell in love with her paintings and bought two of them. This past week when my sister came down, I told her I had a special place to show her. She also fell in love and bought a special print, "Three Sheets In The Wind" for her husband. My son also found one he loved. My print, "She Loves to Teach With That Hickory Stick" will hang in my new third grade classroom here in MS. "Snow is so Quiet" will hang in my home. Her paintings have touched us all. I wish I could have met and spent time with the lady who lived in the blue house! Thank you Alice Moseley for such joy.

As a native Mississippian and a previous resident of The Bay, I have always adored Ms. Moseley's art. And although my career has carried me far from my southern roots, home truly is where the heart is,.....or should I say, "where the Bay is"? Her prints now offer much comfort and nostalgia; my own piece of home, no matter where I am. Thank you so much for creating this website. I am saddened by the loss of such a great soul.
Ann Warson Purser on July 8, 2005 at 01:41 PM said:
I think of Ms. Moseley almost daily and cherish the memories and six years of knowing her and working with her. She was a good friend... her sense of humor and love of life infectious. Tomorrow, July 9th, a year since her death, will be remembered, not in sadness, but with a warm spot in my heart for having known this exceptional woman. Her "one liners" and stories will always be with me

It was an honor to meet Miss Alice a couple of years ago. I have an original called "O'Possum and Persimmons" that was framed by her husband.The Mid-South Magazine did a story and this painting in mentioned in the artice(we have it). My mother-in-law has her only nude painting(according to Miss Alice). Someday I would like to go back to Bay St. Louis and tour that Blue House.
Linda Holston on June 23, 2005 at 09:22 AM said:
Several Years ago my husband & I were in Bay St. Louis for the first time. After looking at the city brochure, the information about Miss Alice determined our destination! We arrived on a day that her helpers were off, so we were treated to a wonderful visit with Miss Alice and Herman. My husband is from Birmingham, and they had a great time talking about that wonderful City. We were there quite awhile (even answered her phone for her!) and loved every second of our visit. We've been planning to return and were sad to hear that she has passed away -- We were blessed to have that wonderful time with her! We'll be at the museum soon to buy some more of her prints!

I recently toured the home, and fell in love with Alice Moseleys art. I only wish I had known her, as we could have shared many stories of cotton fields and the "good old days." I'll guess that Heaven is in order, and that all colors are bright now that Alice Moseley is there!

It was nice visiting the Alice's house on May 14th, and being given the tour by her son Tim, Lisa the Caretaker, and of course Herman.

Mrs. Moseley was also my English teacher at Oakhaven High in Memphis, Tn. I always knew there was something special about her and not just an ordinary teacher. She made learning fun and encouraged individuality of person. I have followed her over the years and am sorry to read of her passing, but, her being in this world made a difference in my life. (Class of 1970).
Paula Moncrief Seaton on March 28, 2005 at 02:47 PM said:
What an amazing woman. Mrs. Moseley was also one of my favorite teachers; she taught us how to diagram sentences in the seventh and eighth grades at Oakhaven Junior High School in Memphis. For me, that was a priceless English lesson. She attended our 20-year reunion in 1993 (Oakhaven High School Class of 1973) in Olive Branch, MS, and was the life of the party. I have a portrait of Mrs. Moseley painted by Randy Thornton which I won in a raffle at that reunion. I cherish it.
Debra Young Middleton on March 2, 2005 at 08:46 AM said:
Alice was my 8th grade English teacher in Memphis at Oakhaven. I remember when she started painting and brought some of her first pictures to class to share with us. She had the class save popsicle sticks and those mesh bags that fruit come in to use in her paintings. I especially remember the one that looked like a street scene from New Orleans that incorporated the mesh bag material and popsicle sticks as part of the iron railings on a building. Alice was a very special person and my favorite teacher of all time and I will never forget her. Thanks for creating this fabulous web site!

Tim, I remember you and your Mother fondly. As a grad of good ole WHS '64, I am so proud of what your Mom has accomplished. My Mother, Ellen Forney, was a friend of your Mother's. She painted a picture for Mom and Mother was so proud to have it. This was many, many years ago. It is still in my family and we enjoy it today. I think you will remember my brother Guy. He is still in Memphis and enjoying good health as is all my brothers and sister. Would love to hear from you. Fondly, Martha Forney Malone malonebarn@comcast.net

I am so thrilled to see Alice's Website. So many people who could not visit the museum wanted a way to see pictures of some of her wonderful paintings. We will certainly treasure her memory. We will keep the site www.AliceMoseley.org up for as long as possible. It has the information on Alice's film documentary and a brief streaming film of Alice to enjoy. Thank you for letting us be part of her life in producing and distributing the film. We are presently working to place the film in schools and libraries around Mississippi.
