Hunter says he doesn't see Cotton Durham in that picture Hunter durham writes: I don't believe that was Cotton Durham - first he had hair, second he was wearing a tie (ugly). When he was in the legislature as a member of the House of Representatives, someone broke into his car and stole his suit.

Memories of Cotton Durham By Ralph Roy Waggener After reading the caption under the Town Square drawing by Patty Sandusky with Cotton Durham in it drinking a Coke, I was reminded of another photo that he was almost in! Back in the good old days of J D Harper's Circle R, where a lot of serious talking took place and history would come up often, Cotton told of a turkey drive he helped on that was going to drive 300 turkeys to market. Well as things would usually go, everyone there got on his case about this turkey drive he helped on. A few days later, Cotton brought in a photo of all the turkeys when they were in Cane Valley, and proceeded to prove his point of being in on the turkey drive. After everyone had looked at the photo, one wise-a** asked Cotton where he was in the photo. Without any time wasted, Cotton told them "that was him, just out of the picture on the left!"
