Beach Beauty …
I am not sure of this lady’s name, so I am not going to mention it. My dad used to do a lot of these type photos for the beauty contests that they used to stage at the Casino on Pensacola Beach. I have some photos that I posted on the old site that I will find and post so you can see what I am talking about. Thanks for looking …

Yes, feel free to use them however you would like. In fact, if you send me an address to my email: frank@frankhardyphotography.com
when I run across the negatives I will mail them to you. I could not remember putting her name in the blog copy … the name was not familiar to me and I can not remember ever knowing any ” Posner’s “. After reading your other post, I have known a few ” Chavis ” in my time. And there was a ” Chavis ” family that grew up down the road from us in Cordova Park on Dunwoody Drive. I believe the dad was a builder here in Pensacola doing the 60’s. Thanks again and let me hear from you … Frank

I do believe you have the correct name on the file for this photo. From what I have been told by family she was the first “Miss Pensacola Beach”?

I do not know who this lady is, but back in the 1950’s, they used to have beauty contests at the old Casino on the beach. All of the girls needed a photo, so my father used to make quite a few of them. All of the negative envelopes have names, but a lot of the name I cannot read or have faded away over time. They are just some pretty girls and it was a different time back then. Now, they can make 50 or 60 bathing suits from the bathing suits worn back then! Thanks for the comment and please check back … Frank

The file name of your photo says Frances Poyser (that is correct) and she was married to my Uncle Levoghn Chavis back in the early 50’s, but later divorced. I very much appreciate your site, I just recently put a link to it on our Chavis Family facebook page and several of my family members in Pensacola are enjoying as well. I was born and raised in Pensacola and come back on a regular basis.
