Re: unopened bottle of mickey mouse rum with paper label
From a letter written by my grandmother while vacationing in Green Turtle Key in the summer of 1951. A party was held and a local a calypso band was hired: "We fixed them up on the terrace in front with a table of ice water and Mickey Mouse Rum-the kind they drink--I mean the natives. They play a tune and take a drink of rum and by the time the evening was over they were really playing. But they never got obnoxiousand just as polite at the finish as at the beginning."
