Another story from 2009 about the USM scholarship named for Jimmy's mom, the Peets Buffett Scholarship:

The Peets Buffett Scholarship is awarded to Mississippi women who select a major in the
College of Arts and Letters at The University of Southern Mississippi.

I think I've seen this photo at LULU's and it looks like one from the Lulu's under the bridge at Fish River. Wonder if it was taken when Jimmy did the 80th birthday show for his mom?? Nice story with a reference to PHIP donation to the scholarship fund.

Kind of amusing to see the laid-back Lulu from Weeks Bay restaurant and then the "entrepreneur award winner" Lulu recently after her huge restaurant venture and cookbook, etc.

Lulu seems like such a happy person too!

Congrats Lulu

Congratulations LuLu!!

Congrats to Lulu! She deserves the recognition. She runs the best restaurant we've ever been to.

Great to see this award, she is as described very warm and nice. LuLu's at Weeks and in Gulf Shores is still one cool place.

Congrats LuLu.....I'll have to make a stop and checkout your restaurant!!

That's awesome!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!

Lulu has *always* shared a recipe with us for BN cookbooks ... so glad she's being honored.

Congratulations, Lulu!

Congratulations, Lulu!!!

I've seen Lucy a couple of times on the Today show, and I heard an interview with her. She seems so cool. This is so awesome that she is getting this award. Congratulations Lulu.

One of these days I really want to go to Lulu's restaurant. My niece, her husband, and my great nephew live in Alabama, but they live 5 hours from Lulu's. Hmmmm, I'll have to think about how to do this some day.

Yay, good job Miss Lucy !

p.s. That's a pretty ring she's wearing !
