StreetpersonScape: Bill Takes a Breather

Famous Charleston streetperson Bill Dunn (previously seen here), takes a breather from piloting his baggy shopping cart, at the corner of Quarrier and Summers streets. There is another younger man -- like a weird protege of Bill's -- who also pushes a bagged shopping cart. But he is far less prominent on city streets than the leggy Dunn, who certainly seems to have stamina. Bill always graciously accepts bills I hand him. Once, for Christmas, I put a tenner on his cart while he was inside a coffeeshop. I suspect he has a faithful bevy of contributors. You never know when a seeming bum turns out to be a holy fool or -- as Mere Teresa once said 'Jesus in disguise'!
