Hey you DOTHAN TIGERS, old ROBERTOREG hit PAY DIRT tonight in his quest to unravel the mysteries of DEVIL MAKE A THIRD! As many of you who have followed this quest know, I identified the woman, Eula Stagg Baker Smith, who was the basis for the character of Lota Kyle, the adventurous teenage wife of DEVIL MAKE A THIRD'S protagonist, Buck Bannon. Well, tonight, I found out where Dougie Bailey got the name Lota . IT WAS HIS FIRST COUSIN'S FIRST NAME. LOTA CHEEK was Buck Baker's niece and I believe she was born in Dothan and in 1922 she was named "BOSTON'S MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL" !. Lota lived in Dothan until her mother, Nannie E. Baker Cheek (Buck Baker's sister) died in 1917.
