The Ocean Springs Record • • In 1934, the Andersons took a perfectly idiosyncratic honeymoon: They traveled north to attend a Bach festival and visit with Sissy’s family, then paddled home down the Mississippi River. One afternoon, amid a thunderstorm, Bob stripped naked and danced on the wet sand. But in the Mississippi Delta, he grew ill with malaria. They abandoned the trip, taking a bus home.
