A Special Day for A Special Lady: Eula Polk celebrates 109th birthday with family, friends, legislators
Brown-Polk
Birthdays are special, and when you have had 109 of them, they are not only special but they are a true blessing from God.
Such is the case for Eula Viola Brown-Polk of Terry, MS. She is affectionately known as “Aunt V” and she celebrated her 109th birthday Monday, March 24, 2021.
This remarkable Christian woman is still full of vim, vigor and vitality. She is sharp in mind and just as quick witted as she was years ago, and her family wanted to make sure that it would be a special day for a special lady.

Former NFL quarterback and Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre s company, Favre Enterprises Inc., was paid $1.1 million by the Mississippi Community Education Center to promote Families First for Mississippi through numerous speeches.
Those speeches were never made, and Favre paid back $500,000 after news first broke of the reneged agreement in May 2020.
Mississippi Today reported last Thursday that Favre has not paid back the remaining $600,000 to the state.
On Tuesday, the state confirmed on the record to the Associated Press that $600,000 of the original $1.1 million paid to Favre has not been returned. After the initial media dustup, he stroked a check for $500 grand and gave a commitment, a voluntary commitment, to repay the rest in the coming months, Logan Reeves, a spokesman for Mississippi Auditor Shad White, told The Associated Press.
The state of Mississippi is still awaiting a repayment of $600,000 that Hall of Famer Brett Favre had promised it in the wake of multiple speaking events where he never showed up.
