Again the Trahan Family Assoc. and the
Broussard“Beausoleil” Assoc. will join in a meeting and meal. This
will take place on May 26, 2012 at “Mr. Keets” in Maurice, La.
starting at 10:00 am until 12:30-1:00 pm. The menu will be: ”Crawfish
Etouffee and drink of tea, water or coffee” the price at the door will
be $10.00. There will be waitresses walking around to take your order
for drinks from the cash bar, as we know some will want something a
little stronger. The owner, Gerard Baudoin, has his own crawfish ponds,
so everything is fresh. We will need an RSVP so sufficient food will be
prepared. This will be a private party, as he is not open to the public
on Saturdays.
This restaurant is located on the main drive, just
south of the signal light at Gulf Coast Bank, on the east side of US167,
now with a turning lane.
Please email the number in your party to either

Vintage Photos
Sought by LSU Health Sciences Center
I am Judy LaBorde and I thought it might be wise to explain a little
bit about our project. It's a
website called "Hereditary Healing." The purpose is to provide
information about genetics in Louisiana to "regular folks," primarily
Moms and Dads who have a genetic disorder in their families. We first
thought about doing this website as a result of doing the public
symposium called "Genetics of the Acadian People" that was part of the
1999 Congres Mondial Acadien. We could see that people had questions
that needed answering with accurate information (there's so much
misinformation about there.)
So, where we are right now is a draft of what this might look like.
Please keep in mind this is just a first draft.
http://www.test.medschool.lsuhsc.edu/hereditaryhealing2/default.html
We would very much like to include some vintage, old time photos of life
in Acadiana, especially photos of families. These would be photos that
tell the story of the people, of the hard life they lived and their
great spirit. If you can think of anyone I can contact about this, I
would be so grateful.
Sincerely, Judy
