HANNIBAL, Mo. — An older gentleman stands outside of Lydia’s Cabinet of Curiosities on the corner of North and Bird with his dog, waiting for his wife, who is shopping inside the colorful antique store filled with skulls, maps, paintings and enticing oddities.
He is dressed in an orange T-shirt with a red, white and blue Talladega “Sparks will fly” logo on the left pocket and sporting a black ball cap with the words “ARMY” and “VIETNAM VETERAN” and five stars stitched across the front in gold, along with three service ribbon designators.
