"My dad has told me all my life not to dangle my feet in Big Lake (Calcasieu Lake) because his first cousin, Ben King, was terribly wounded - with nineteen tooth holes - when he dangled his feet off a pier in Lake Charles in the 1920s when he was about 18. He and Raymond Dunn, my dad's brother, skinned it and tacked it to their aunt's (Mabel King Kelly)garage. Daddy says it was there for years -- on land where the main post office in Lake Charles is today. Daddy says he also remembers a fishing guide getting his hand mangled in Bayou Bicone (sp?) - a bayou about half way down the shore of Big Lake."
