000068 BOESHANS Rev. Msgr. Francis G. Boeshans August 2, 1925-September 1, 2010 In his 62 years of priestly ministry, Msgr.
Francis G. Boeshans exemplified the mandate to live "not to be served but to serve." He was Consultor for two archbishops-
Archbishop Hannan and Archbishop Schulte, plus, in the beginning of Father's priesthood, Archbishop Rummel appointed him
assistant CCD director of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, serving under then Msgr. Gerald Frey. During that tenure, he
directed the Junior Newman Clubs of the entire Archdiocese, until the program was discontinued in 1962 by Archbishop Cody.
Msgr. Boeshans also served as Archdiocesan Director of the Council of Catholic Women, and as Archdiocesan CYO Director,
during which time he was awarded the prestigious Ray Mock Service Award for outstanding service to youth. In addition, he
was an active member of the Clergy Council for over 20 years, Procurator on the Matrimonial Court, Chaplain for KC Councils,
and Catholic hospital chaplain for Methodist Hospital for ten years. Under Archbishop Hannan, Msgr. Boeshans worked
diligently to fund the Horizons program, which provided diocesan-wide residences such as Nazareth Inn and Madonna Manor for
the elderly. In the mid-1980s, Msgr. was host/moderator of Real-to Reel, a weekly television program for WLAE. This program
highlighted notable personalities-local, national and international-in the Church. During his years of service, Father
Boeshans was assigned as an assistant pastor at St. James Major (1948-49), Sts. Peter and Paul (1950-59), and St.
Christopher the Martyr (1959-63) parishes in New Orleans and Metairie. Father was appointed Dean of City Park/Gentilly and
St. Tammany deaneries. The founding pastor of Resurrection of Our Lord in New Orleans East in 1963, Father also served as
pastor of St. Nicholas of Myra (1965-69) during his tenure at Resurrection of Our Lord. He was named a Monsignor by Pope
Paul VI in 1977. In 1984, he founded St. John of the Cross Parish in Lacombe, serving there until his retirement in 1988
after 50 plus years in active service. During his retirement, Msgr. Boeshans was anything but retired, having helped at over
30 parishes in Louisiana and Mississippi, with most of his help at St. Anthony in Gretna and St. Benilde in Metairie. He
loved to preach missions and days of recollection and had the privilege of preaching in four states-Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama and North Carolina. In addition to parish days of recollection, Father went to Rosaryville in Ponchatoula several
times a year for retreats and days of recollection. Msgr. Boeshans lived a life of service to God and his fellow man, truly
exemplifying the commission of his ordination to be an "alter Christus"-another Christ to the world. Msgr. Boeshans is
survived by one brother, David (wife Barbara) of Marietta, GA, and seven nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his
parents, Mary Louise Roser Boeshans and Francis George Boeshans, Sr. and two sisters, Mary Louise Minshew and Doris Ann

000094 BREESE Beth Breese, of Abita Springs, Louisiana, a licensed clinical social worker, died of cancer in Covington,
Louisiana on September 21, 2010. She was born Eula Elizabeth Jones in Marshallville, Georgia on October 8, 1921, the
daughter of John Frederic Jones and Louise Crocker Jones. She grew up on the family farm, known as Thronateeska Plantation,
where her parents grew peaches. She was graduated from Georgia State Teachers College (now Georgia Southern) in 1942 with a
degree in education. On October 27, 1942, she married Frank C. Breese, Jr., an army officer stationed at Camp Wheeler,
Georgia. After the war, and after the birth of her first child in Georgia, Beth moved with her young family to Frank's
hometown of Monroe, Louisiana. After the birth of her second child, she taught nursery school for several years and then
began working in radio at local station KNOE where she hosted a talk/interview show each weekday morning. When Governor
James A. Noe, owner of KNOE, started the city's first TV station, KNOE TV, in 1954, Beth hosted a live cooking show, Beth
Breese's Pantry Party, each weekday at noon. In 1958, she left TV and began a career as a social worker at the Monroe Area
Guidance Center. After a short time there, she accepted a state grant to attend the LSU School of Social Work from which she
was graduated in 1961 with a Masters in Social Work. Legally separated from her husband, in 1961 she moved to Covington,
Louisiana and became director of the St. Tammany Parish Mental Health Center. In the mid-'60s she accepted a position in the
department of psychiatry at LSU Medical School in New Orleans where she taught aspiring physicians how to deal on a personal
and emotional level with patients and their families and trained newly graduated clinical social workers. In the early '70s
she left LSU and accepted the position of chief social worker at River Oaks Hospital, a new private psychiatric hospital in
New Orleans specializing in the treatment of schizophrenia. In 1977, she started a private psychotherapy practice in New
Orleans. She later moved her practice to Metairie, Louisiana and then to Mandeville, Louisiana and finally to her home in
Abita Springs. She continued to see patients until eight weeks before her death. Beth Breese leaves as her legacy numerous
former patients she treated in her many years of practice, many of whom contacted her during her final illness to tell her
how much she meant to them and how she helped them transform their lives and relationships. She was predeceased by her
parents, by her brother Robert F. Jones of Monticello, Florida and by a grandson, Frank C. "Chad" Breese, IV. She is
survived by her son Frank C. "Kim" Breese, III and his wife Katie (Trimble) of Jackson, Mississippi; by her son Frederic C.
Breese and his wife Suzanne (Tadlock) of Conway, South Carolina; by three grandchildren, Amanda K. Breese of Boca Raton,

000105 BRUNS HENRY DICKSON BRUNS II Henry Dickson 'Harry' Bruns II, of Howardsville, Virginia, died peacefully in
Charlottesville, Va. on Thursday, September 23, 2010, comforted by family and friends. Bruns, as friends called him, was
born a fifth generation New Orleanian in the autumn of 1926, at Touro Infirmary, to T.M. Logan Bruns, a prominent attorney,
and Bland Cox Bruns. He often helped in the election campaigns of his mother, a Louisiana state legislator who cast that
state's legislature's lone vote supporting the Brown v. Board of Education decision. Raised in New Orleans, he attended
Country Day School and then high school at Christ School in Arden, NC. During those years, he spent a summer working for
Higgins Industries in New Orleans helping to build amphibious landing craft for WWII. Following graduation at age 17, Bruns
enlisted in the United States Marine Corps but the war ended before he shipped out. Honorably discharged, he enrolled at the
University of Virginia, where he received BA and MA degrees in Economics, finishing in 1950. In 1950 he married Nancy Peyton
du Pont and that same year reenlisted in the USMC, serving in the Korean Conflict. A masterful storyteller, his favorite
about his military service relayed the erroneous announcement that appeared in his wife's hometown newspaper - amusing to
all except his mother-in-law - which stated, "Lt. Bruns has just returned to his wife from 11 months active duty in Korea in
time for the birth of their first child." After briefly working at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C.,
his young family moved to Houston, Texas, where in 1955 their second child was born. There he began his career as an
independent oil operator, exploring for and producing oil and natural gas in Central Texas for the US market. After the end
of his first marriage, he married Catherine Masterson Cage in 1969. In the late 1980s he moved to his farm on the James
River in Virginia, where he pursued his many interests, especially fishing, canoeing and living close to nature. He remained
devoted to his alma mater and to the memory of Thomas Jefferson, the founder of "The University," giving both time and
financial support to UVa and Monticello in various ways. He enjoyed various affiliations including his membership with The
Boston Club. He also served on the Board of Trustees of Christ School and was instrumental in helping the school resolve
financial troubles it was facing at the time. Throughout his life, he possessed an uncanny ability to bring people together
through his persuasion, humor, and generosity, often initiating interesting friendships that otherwise would not have
formed. Many people will remember him in many ways. He is survived by his son Peter Bruns, daughter-in-law Kathleen Rice,
and grandson George Bruns, of Greensboro, NC, daughter V. Peyton Bruns of New Orleans and Washington, D.C., stepson Michael
Masterson Bruns of St. Paul, MN, and scores of cousins. A Memorial Service will be held soon at Christ Church, Glendower,
near Keene, Virginia. In lieu of flowers any memorial considerations may be made to the Integrity Fund, established by him
to honor his friend, Ernest Henry Ern, at UVa's College at Wise, Virginia (contact Mrs. Tami Ely at 276-376-1057). Friends

Wednesday, the morning of September 1, 2010 where he joins his brother Ronald Neuman Heyns and his sister Rosann Heyns
Kramer. He married his love, Cornelia Goldsmith of White Fish Bay Wisconsin, in 1945, after meeting while enlisted together
at Homestead Army Air Base in Florida. They then moved to New Orleans to begin their family. There Hugo became, first a
photographer and later Advertising Director of The Item Newspaper. After an excursion to Europe, the couple returned to
continue growing their family, while he also began his new career as an architect. Working hard and earning the respect of
his peers and colleagues he was eventually asked to serve as Chief Architect for the State of Louisiana in 1972. In 1979 he
also, began an additional career teaching Fifth Year Architecture at Louisiana State University School of Architecture.
Retirement brought about a different life yet again, as he and his wife lived aboard sailboats or had one outside their back
door for the remainder of his days. His living family of seven children: Hugo E. Heyns III, Regina Heyns Castle, Rebecca
Heyns, Heidi Heyns, J. Gerrit Heyns, Katrina Heyns Hourin, and Gretchen Heyns Gregg, and grandchildren: Greg Heyns, Michael

000324 HILLBRATH HENRY HILLBRATH September 3, 2010 Henry's nearly 40-year career was entirely in Aerospace Engineering,
first with General Dynamics in San Diego, then with the Boeing Company. With Boeing, he had major long-term assignments in
Seattle, New Orleans, San Jose CA, and Houston TX. He worked in some capacity in almost all of the Nation's well-known Space
Programs of the Twentieth Century. In 1959 - 62 (with time out for six months of active military duty as a Second Lieutenant
at Aberdeen Proving Grounds), he worked for General Dynamics in engineering development of the Atlas ICBM and the Atlas-
Centaur Space Launch Vehicles. Later versions of the Atlas-Centaur Launch Vehicle are still launching payloads into space
today. In early 1963, Henry moved to The Boeing Company to work on engineering development of the Saturn 1C (S-1C), the
first stage of the Saturn 5, the Launch Vehicle for the NASA Apollo Manned Lunar Missions. Henry worked in engineering
support for the S-1C for launch of all of the Apollo Astronauts on their Lunar landing missions, the last in 1972. Henry's
contribution to the lunar landing program is documented in the "The Boeing Company Apollo/Saturn V Roll of Honor", copies of
which are in the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institute. He worked in the Preliminary Design programs for the
NASA Space Shuttle and for the Space Tug, an upper stage for the Space Shuttle. Boeing won the Development contract for the
Tug, named the Interim Upper Stage (IUS), which used two solid rocket motors (SRMs). Henry was assigned as Boeing
representative to United Technologies Corporation, developer of the SRMs, in California, where he was instrumental in the
successful development of the SRMS. The IUS was used by the USAF and NASA from 1982 through 2004. In the mid-1990s, Henry
worked for Boeing Space Exploration Division at Houston TX, which was responsible for Program Management for NASA's
International Space Station (ISS) Programs. Henry was Program Manager for the Lockheed Bus 1, an upper stage used for NASA's
ISS operations, at the time that he retired in 1997. Henry never married but he loved his sister's daughters, Shawn and
Austin, as much as any father could. He was generous to a fault and treasured his friends and family. He was fond of sailing
and for a while owned a sailboat with two of his friends. He was deeply saddened when the boat was lost during Hurricane
Camille, one of the worst gulf coast storms until Katrina. He loved living in New Orleans and made the city his destinations
every time he could. He moved to Pennsylvania in 1997 after a serious illness so he could be close to his family. He is
survived by his 98 year old mother, Willie Belle Hillbrath, his younger sister, Elizabeth Hillbrath Sturn, his nieces,
Angela Shawn Dilfield and Austin Elizabeth Sturn, his beloved great-niece, Sara Elizabeth, and Angela Shawn's children by
marriage, Christopher, Matthew and Samantha. A Memorial Service will be held on September 23, 2010, at seven p.m. at BuxMont

School in 1960 and Louisiana Tech University in 1964. He is survived by his wife, Diane and two sisters, Maud Ella and
husband Rick Hartley and Anne Johnson. Ken married Judith Beasley Hollis (deceased in 2007) and had three sons: Jesse K.

Michael lives in New Orleans with his partner, Marty Brantley. The youngest son, Paul lives in Mandeville with his wife,

Stephens and husband Adam lives in Mandeville, have a daughter, Josephine. Diane's youngest daughter, Casie Woods lives in

Ken entered the insurance field and served as Mass-Mutual's Regional Group Manager until 1981 when he took over as General
Agent for the State of Louisiana until retiring from that position in January 1998. During the years of 1967 - 1974, Ken
served our country as a Captain in the U.S. Army Reserves. His entire professional career was in the health/life insurance
and benefits industry and he served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Hollis Companies which specializes in
employee benefits. He was very proud of his company and felt blessed that his son and many other close colleagues have
pledged to carry on the business that he founded and built with them over his career. In addition to his professional
career, his other passion was his honorable career in public service of 28 years, first as a Jefferson Parish Councilman in
1980 until 1982 when he was elected to the State Senate. Ken served in the Senate for 26 years until 2008. Known for his
colorful character and love for Louisiana, his accomplishments in the Louisiana Senate were many. Some of his proudest
moments were championing the lifting of the tolls on the south shore of the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway as well as his
advocacy for the Jefferson Performing Arts Society. Ken served as Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee where his
talents were used for his passion for economic development. He was instrumental in recruiting and retaining businesses in
the state such as the early negotiations in retaining the Saints in New Orleans, completion of Harrah's Casino and the
legislation to establish the Louisiana Lottery. He was also very proud of his earliest legislation to prohibit an earnings
tax on non-residents working in the city of New Orleans. Ken received numerous public service awards including the Alliance

000353 JENKINS Mercedes C. Jenkins, "Meme," died at her home Friday, September 3, 2010. She was 92, born Nov. 21, 1917, in
Cardenas, Cuba. Mercedes married Eduardo E. Jenkins in 1945. During the Fidel Castro regime, she was forced to send her five
children to safety in the United States while she remained in Cuba where her husband was held as a political prisoner. He
was finally released and the family was reunited in Laurel, Miss., in 1963. The Asmar family, lifelong friends in Laurel,
Miss., were instrumental in helping the family in countless ways during this time and we are forever grateful for their
generosity and compassion as well as the entire community of Laurel. In 1964, Wright Adams, who has since passed away,
assisted the family in relocating to Baton Rouge. Affectionately known as "Meme" to many, Mercedes truly loved life and made
anyone who visited her home feel welcome and loved by her gentle nature, genuine warmth and hospitality. She was a wonderful
example throughout every phase of her life. Her home was always full of people and she was a true delight to be around.
Mercedes was a very active member of Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church and she selflessly donated her time for many years
for various causes including cooking meals every day at her expense for 30 men for the Bishop Ott Shelter, knitting blankets
for unwed mothers and the elderly, playing the piano for those at The Gillis W. Long Center for Hansen's Disease in
Carville, and various nursing homes, volunteer work at hospitals and St. Vincent de Paul. She was so appreciative of all the
help her family received from others that she wanted to give back in any way she could to the country that opened its arms
to her and her family. She was recognized for her volunteer work and was awarded a Women Who Count: Giving Something Back
award by the community in 1993. Mercedes had many talents and hobbies. She was a concert pianist and loved to entertain
friends and family with any musical request they may have. She taught piano lessons at St. Aloysius School in Baton Rouge
for many years as well as private lessons in her home. She will be forever remembered by all who met her for her genuine
warmth and generosity. She was preceded in death by her parents, Pedro and Mercedes Alcebo; husband, Eduardo E. Jenkins; and
four brothers, Pedro, Oscar, Raoul and Jose Alcebo. She is survived by a son, Eduardo J. Jenkins and his wife, Lynda; four
daughters, Cristina Fowler and her husband, Jorge, Mercedes Suarez and her husband, Felipe, Victoria Castellanos and her
husband, Francisco, and Carmen Williams; daughter-in-law, Linda Tucker Jenkins; son-in-law, Darwyn Williams, ten
grandchildren, Eduardo Paul Jenkins and his wife, Arden, Christopher Jenkins, Jeorge Fowler IV, and his wife, Jennifer,
Cristy Chauvin and her husband, Christian, Michelle Galavis and her husband, Alejandro, Anne and Wesley Williams, Patricia
Davis and her husband, Kevin, Austin Distefano and Josh Bratton; and three great-grandchildren, Pierson and Parker Jenkins,
and Ana Cristina Davis. The family would like to thank her many caregivers over the years. Visitation at Our Lady of Mercy

Orleans, Louisiana. Pastor John W. Uhl will officiate. Interment will be in The National Park Cemetery, Falls Church,
Virginia. Laura was born December 31, 1922 in Orrtanna, Pennsylvania, to the late James E. Rice Sr. and Marie L. (Mary
Craighead) Harris Rice. The family moved to Arlington, Virginia when she was in her early teens where she graduated from
Washington-Lee High School. During World War II Laura worked for the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. In November 1944,
she married William Dewey Jenkins in San Francisco, California. M/SGT Jenkins died in 1959. Laura graduated with honors in
1963 from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. She was an elementary school educator in Fairfax County, Virginia for
over 20 years before retiring in 1985. While she was in Virginia, she became an avid Washington Redskins football fan. Laura
resided in New Orleans for over 15 years where she was a member of Woodland Presbyterian Church. She enjoyed reading,
woodcarving, traveling, and visiting with her family and friends. During one of their trips Laura and her sister, Janice
stumbled upon a unique festival in Woodstock, New York where they found the young folks to be "a very happy bunch". Laura
had many beautiful cats through the years, and we imagine her embracing them now at the Rainbow Bridge. Laura was a devoted
and loving mother and friend who was a blessing to all. She will be greatly missed by those who knew her. The youngest of
four, Laura was predeceased by Janice M. Hedrick, Margaret E. Gawen, and James E. Rice Jr. She is survived by her children:
Larry W. Jenkins (Pamela R.) of Chapel Hill, North Carolina; Linda M. Jenkins (Joseph M. Baugnon) of New Orleans, Louisiana;
Leslie K. Green (Stephen E.) of Syracuse, Utah; Lloyd W. Jenkins of Hagerstown, Maryland; her seven grandchildren and six
great-grandchildren; and a host of loving family and friends. The family would like to thank her physician of many years Dr.
Richard C. Kline, Dr. S. Cameron Emerson; the staff and residents at the Villas of Woldenberg Village for their friendship
and support; the staff and residents of St. Luke's Living Center for their warmth and compassion; the sitters who remained
devotedly and vigilantly by her side; and St. Margaret's Hospice for their expertise and gentle care. In lieu of flowers,

000433 LONGENECKER Herbert Eugene Longenecker, President Emeritus of Tulane University, scientist, educator, and community
leader, died September 18, 2010 in Birmingham, Alabama, his home since 1983. He was 98. Born May 6, 1912 in Lititz,
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Longenecker was the third son of educators Abraham Sandoe and Mary Ellen Herr Longenecker.
His parents were Mennonites whose family roots in America were established with William Penn's founding of Pennsylvania in
the early 1700s. Longenecker's father was superintendent of the Lititz school system at the time of his premature death in
1914. His mother Mary Ellen continued to support her family as a teacher. By age 10, Longenecker worked a paper route and in
a neighbor's commercial greenhouse. He later played on the Lititz High School football team and in its orchestra and band.
He graduated from high school in May 1929, after serving as class president all four years. At The Pennsylvania State
College, Longenecker's academic focus shifted from plant science to biochemistry as he earned B.S., M.S., and PhD degrees.
Longenecker played clarinet, saxophone, and violin in the Varsity 10 Orchestra and briefly considered a career as a
professional musician. In 1936, the 24-year-old became one of very few scientists selected that year for a post-doctoral
fellowship abroad, and one of the first from an agricultural college. Before leaving for Europe, he married Marjorie Jane
Segar of Mechanicsburg, PA, the only girl he ever dated. Their marriage ended in her death 69 years later. The couple spent
their first two years of married life at University of Liverpool, England; University of Cologne, Germany; and Queens
University in Canada. Longenecker's research concentrated in fats and oils. Returning to the United States in 1938,
Longenecker joined the faculty and research staff at the University of Pittsburgh, working with C. Glenn King, known for
characterizing the biochemistry of Vitamin C and a pioneer in the study of the storage, shipment, and freezing of food. When
King left Pittsburgh, Longenecker, then age 31, was placed in charge of the university's research efforts in the biological
sciences. Over the next 17 years, he served as professor of biochemistry, dean of research in the natural sciences, and
later dean of the graduate school. In 1944, the American Chemical Society designated him one of the ten ablest chemists
working in the United States in the field of fats, oils, and soaps. In wartime he assumed key roles with the Nutrition Board
of the National Academy of Sciences and the Army's Quartermaster Corps Committee on Food Research where he helped redesign
K-rations and powdered foods. In the post war era, he continued to serve a variety of national organizations in numerous
capacities, including committees on biological warfare for the Navy, committees for the Army, National Institutes of Health,
Office of Education, American Institute of Baking, and the Food and Drug Administration. As Dean of Research and Dean of the
Graduate School, Longenecker recruited Dr. Jonas Salk to Pitt where Salk conducted the animal and large-scale human trials
leading to the success of the Salk killed virus polio vaccine. Longenecker took a keen interest in Pittsburgh civic affairs
and served on community and governmental boards, sometimes as president or chairman, that planned the Golden Triangle and
related development and redevelopment projects in downtown Pittsburgh. Four children, Herbert Jr., Marjorie, Geoffrey, and
Stanton, were born and grew up in the family's Fox Chapel home. In 1955, the University of Illinois recruited Longenecker to
lead its health professional colleges of dentistry, medicine, and pharmacy, school of nursing, and its 620-bed research and
educational hospital. Longenecker became vice president in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges. The colleges were a
key institution in Chicago's Medical Center District then fast developing into one of the largest medical centers in the
world. He set up communications within the colleges, expanded the university hospital, developed new medical research
laboratories, filled key positions, and increased the flow of gifts and research grants to the university. In 1960,
Longenecker was named a Distinguished Alumnus of his alma mater Penn State and received the Illinois Professional Council's
Distinguished Service Award for his leadership in upgrading the standards and quality of the health professions in Illinois.
During this five year period, the Longenecker family lived in Kenilworth. Beginning in 1960 and for the next 15 years,
Longenecker served as President of Tulane University in New Orleans. At Tulane, Longenecker initiated new educational and
research programs, including computer and teacher education centers, the Delta Primate Center near Covington, LA, the
Riverside Research Laboratories near Belle Chase, LA, and the International Center for Medical Research and Training in
Cali, Columbia. During his tenure, major new construction took place at the Tulane Medical Center. A new library, science
center, and dormitory facilities were built on the uptown campus and historic structures renovated for other departments.
Shortly after coming to Tulane, Longenecker co-chaired the NASA New Orleans Coordinating Committee which was instrumental in
bringing a part of the space program to New Orleans. He also served numerous civic and governmental agencies, educational
associations, private foundations, and business corporations. Jane Longenecker restored two University-owned homes at 12
Audubon Place and 2 Audubon Place to serve as the President's residences and entertained frequently the extended Tulane and
New Orleans communities. Longenecker and Tulane were also active in the American Association of Universities (AAU). As AAU
president, he led delegations of U. S. university presidents to meetings in Bonn, England, Moscow, Scotland, Sydney, and
Tokyo. From 1961 to 1975, Longenecker served on and chaired the Department of Defense Advisory Panel on ROTC Affairs.
Longenecker served as the first chairman of the Academic Advisory Board of the U.S. Naval Academy; a longtime director and
chairman of the Nutrition Foundation (1961-1985); a director of the Bush Foundation of St. Paul, Minnesota (1969-1984); and
a director of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, New York. From 1959 to 1988 Longenecker was a director of the Institute for
Defense Analysis, adviser to the Secretary of Defense, the Chiefs of Staff, and the FBI. From 1966 to 1985, Longenecker was
an active director of the multi-national corporation CPC International. Many of his 44 foreign trips were to inspect corn
processing facilities across the globe. From 1968 to 1984, he served as a director of the Equitable Life Assurance Society
of the United States, during which time the Equitable invested funds in the development of Riverchase in Birmingham and high
rise towers in Birmingham and New Orleans. He helped design the Equitable's corporate giving program. First elected to the
national scientific research society, Sigma Xi, in 1935, he served as national president in 1980. From 1976 to 1979, after
retirement from Tulane, Longenecker served as the Managing Director of the New Orleans World Trade Center, where he had been
a director beginning in 1961. Longenecker received honorary degrees from Duquesne University of Pittsburgh (1951), Loyola
University of Chicago (1963), the University of Miami (1972), Loyola University of the South (1976), and the University of
Illinois (1976). He became a Fellow of the American Public Health Society, the American Institute of Chemists, the New York
Academy of Medicine, and the Institute of Medicine in Chicago. He received the Papal Award, Bene Merenti, in 1977. At his
death, Longenecker was a resident of the St. Times Picayune 9/28/2010

She continued her scholarly writing even while undergoing outpatient treatment at the Tulane Cancer Center, whose doctors
and staff she valued highly. Perhaps as a consequence of her childhood postings with her military family, Gina was an
inveterate traveler, spending months in Mexico (she was bi-lingual in Spanish) and England, as well as making trips to
France, Belgium, Germany, Costa Rica, and Russia for multiple visits. Perhaps her favorite place was Vancouver Island,
British Columbia, where she would visit family members and enjoy the unspoiled nature of the area and its dramatic geology.
Gina also found spiritual contentment in the American West and Pacific North-West, particularly in the state and national
parks, where her photography was remarkable for a non-professional. An animal lover and protector all her life, Gina could
never refuse aid and comfort to any creature in need, a mark of her kind and giving nature. Gina is survived by her husband
of forty years, Andrew, her mother, Lonnie Mae Whitten of Austin, and three sisters, Jeanie Kay, Barbara Ann, and Linda Sue,
of Central Texas. Her aunt Laura lives in Arlington, Texas. An aunt, Ruth Copeland, and cousins Lannie and Anita constitute
the Canadian branch of her family. Her extended family included scores of students and colleagues who benefited from her
teaching and mentoring, since Gina could never do enough in support of people in need, giving generously of her time and
attention. Her international students around the world found in her a surrogate parent, someone who never withheld help when
needed. Gina will be cremated and there will be no memorial service until a later time. Her wish was that rather than
flowers, donations be made to the Louisiana SPCA. Times Picayune 9/21/2010

000450 MANGHAM Michael Ray "Mickey" Mangham died at his home in Lafayette, Louisiana, on Thursday, September 16, 2010. He is
survived by his wife, Melinda Waller Mangham, his daughter, Elizabeth Morgan Mangham of Baton Rouge, LA, his sister, Molly
Mangham Douglass, and her husband, George Douglass of Slidell, LA, his brother-in-law, Father Stephen J. Waller of Dallas,
TX, his nieces: Molly D. Hadden and her husband, Corky of Bay St. Louis, MS, Melissa D. Steiner and her husband, Jerry of
Metairie, LA, and Michelle D. Tyler and her husband, Doug of New Orleans, LA, and great-nieces: Margaret Hadden, Jordan and
Hannah Tyler, great-nephews: John and William Hadden and Jake Tyler, and his caregiver, Annie Belle Shelvin. He considered
so many close friends as family and cherished them. You know who you are. Mickey was preceded in death by his parents,
Francis Ray and Louise Ratliff Mangham, his in-laws, Morgan Howard and Elizabeth Bowen Waller, his aunt, Doris "Tottie"
Ratliff and his canine companions: Boy, Harvey and The Judge. A distinguished oil and gas attorney and community leader,
Mickey, first earned region wide recognition as an Academic All American end on the LSU Tigers 1958 National Championship
Team. Forever known as the "man who caught the pass" in the 1959 Sugar Bowl, Mickey, in a state famous for its political and
business divisions, carved out a successful career that cut across those divisions. Having turned down scholarships to
Dartmouth, Rice University, and the Naval Academy to attend LSU's Petroleum Engineering School, Mickey was an unlikely
legend as a walk-on for the football team. A founding member and former president of the Tiger Athletic Foundation and an
inductee in the LSU Hall of Distinction, Mickey took great pride in the Purple and Gold. While at LSU, he served as
Assistant Law Librarian at the Hebert Law Center and as a LSU Graduate Assistance Football Coach from 1963-1965. As a member
of Sigma Chi Fraternity, he received the special designation of LifeLoyal Sig. Earning degrees from the College of
Engineering and the Paul M Hebert Law Center, Mickey served with distinction on various professional organizations
throughout his life. Cutting his political teeth as a Jaycee, Mickey involved himself in countless elections from local
school boards to races for US Senate and the White House. With an unyielding belief in democracy, he was a true patriot.
Mickey was selected to play in the Blue Gray Game (1961); Hula Bowl (1961); to All-American Scholastic Football Teams (1958,
1959, 1960); served on LSU Student Government as Representative of College of Engineering (1960-61); was a member of the
Governing Board, Student Bar Association and Moot Court Program (1063-65); served as President of Omicron Delta Kappa (1963-
65); named Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities; served on Shreveport Bar Association Board of Directors and
chaired the Judicial Relations Committee; served on the Louisiana State Bar Association House of Delegates (1978-1980);
served on Board of United Fund Shreveport (1976-80); served on Shreve Memorial Library Board of Trustees (1970-80); served
on LSU Athletic Council (1978-1981); was a member of the Rotary Club of Shreveport and the Rotary Club of Lafayette; served
on the Academy of the Sacred Heart, Grand Coteau, LA, Advisory Board of Trustees; was a regular speaker at LSU Mineral
Institute; served on Board of Directors for the Shreveport and Lafayette Chambers of Commerce; was a member of Advisory
Board of LSU Junior Division; served as member and team leader for American Inns of Court, Acadiana Chapter; served as
Chairman of the Lafayette Tollway Commission; and represented most of the major pipeline companies in the United States and
most of the intra-state pipelines in Louisiana. Never a man to turn a blind eye or a deaf ear, rarely did he utter a harsh
word (unless against Ole Miss or Tulane). Mickey encompassed all that is good and right with human nature. He was
everybody's All-American. He may be a legend on the football field, but he is forever in our hearts and memories as one of
the good guys. A prince of a man. Visitation in Lafayette, LA, was observed at Martin & Castille's DOWNTOWN Lafayette
location on Friday, September 17, 2010, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and will continue today, Saturday, September 18, 2010,

000456 MARINO Monday morning, September 27, 2010, Deborah Walch Marino, age 59, unexpectedly left us to join her mother
Mildred Hymes who also left us just one month ago. She is now with many of her loving family who we also miss. She's
preceded in death by her grandparents and her mother and father William Walter Hymes and Mildred Hymes. She leaves behind
her daughter Tessa Marino, son Brian Walch, two grandchildren Sabrina Walch and Brandon Walch, and long time companion and
husband Anthony Marino. Not only was Debbie a pioneer in the early days of her career with the phone company in the early
70's being one of the first women to work an outside field position, but as harsh as the male critics could be at the time,
some of those WWII vets who worked with her who stated that she worked as hard as any of them and they respected her. That's
not something they would say lightly. Some would say, however, that her career was only a sideline to her sewing for which
she had quite a talent. She was also a union steward who proudly represented many workers. And, as a fierce proponent of the
union, it was said that she wasn't one against whom you would want to cross the picket line. Her career was cut short though
when after surviving an aneurysm she contracted lupus which she would battle for the rest of her life. Then, not only would
she survive the first aneurysm, but she would survive a second some years later. Even in the face of all the adversities I
don't think I ever saw my mom down. Her spirit was a light that drew people to her. Debbie's personality was also
characterized by kindness and charity, traits she surely learned from her mother and grandmother. Her giving and generosity
make losing such a good person so much more unbearable. So many of us depended on her because she always made herself
available. She left us too soon, and we miss her painfully. Relatives and friends are invited to her Funeral Service on
Friday, October 1, 2010, at 11:00 a.m., at Greenwood Funeral Home, 5200 Canal Blvd., New Orleans, LA 70124. Visitation will

000458 MARSHALL Paul Charles Marshall, Jr. Paul, also known to his family as "Junior" was born on May 25, 1926 in Lutcher,
Louisiana, to Paul and Estella Marshall. He served our country in the Pacific Theater during World War II and in the Korean
War and went on to retire from the U.S. Air Force in 1965. In 1981, he retired from the Federal Civil Service at the Fuel
Department on the Naval Submarine Base in San Diego, California. He was an inspiration to his four daughters and two sons,
three of whom went on to military service. In 1972 he moved to San Diego, CA, where he attended St. Catherine Laboure
Catholic Church. On September 18, 2010, at the age of 84 years, he crossed over into the Kingdom of Heaven after fighting
cancer for four years and as he said, being "loved to death" by his six children and friends and caregivers: George and Aida
Firman. He is survived by his sisters: Verdean Clements, Audrey Davis and Cleo Eugene; his brothers: Lavrence Marshall and
Floyd Marshall, Sr.; his six children: Yolanda Marshall Tisdale, Paul Marshall III, Wanda Marshall Winkler, Diane Marshall,
Andre Marshall and Paula Marshall and their spouses: Raphael, Rita, Wesley, John, and Susan respectively; his five
grandchidlren: Life Marshall, Andrea Marshall, Isaac Marshall, Eric Marshall and Matthew Marshall; his two great-
grandchildren: Kade Charles Valentine Marshall and Alexandria Rhealise Marshall; and quite possibly hundreds of friends. He
was a private pilot for more than forty years and enjoyed working crossword puzzles. Anyone who has ever known Paul, knows
that he loved to laugh and to dance. His favorite mantra as "dance while you can". We smile knowing now that as he crossed
over, he danced in his new body past Saint Peter and through the pearly gates. A Memorial Celebration will be hled in San
Diego, CA in the near future. His Funeral Services will be held in Paulina, Louisiana on Saturday, September 25, 2010 at St.
Josephs Catholic Church. Viewing from 9:00 a.m. until services at 11:00 a.m. Conducted by the Rev. Mark Beard. Entomement in

Texas before moving to Westwego in 1963 where he became the pastor of Westwego Assembly of God until 1998 when he retired.
He was one of the organizers of JEDCO and served as the organizations first chairman. He also developed Shady Oaks
Subdivision, the first restricted subdivision in Westwego in the late 60's. Pastor Radke headed a search committee for a
civic center. He was instrumental in getting Gov. Edwards to place the civic center on the Westbank in Westwego. Governor
Edwards appointed him to the Louisiana Children's Trust Fund Board where he actively served for more than a decade. He was
instrumental in starting the Parish President's Prayer Breakfast during the term of Parish President Joe Yenni. This
breakfast continues to this day. For over 20 years, he partnered with Sheriff Harry Lee in a Fourth of July Celebration
called "I Love America Day" at West Jefferson Stadium. He served with the New Orleans Federation of Churches for over 20
years and served as the chairman of that organization. Pastor Radke was the first pastor to be televised on local TV which
was broadcast from Gulfport to Lafayette. The program was televised from 1970 to 1980. He also had a program on WWL Radio,
"On the Road to Heaven" for 16 years. People have stopped by the church from all over the country to meet the pastor they
heard on WWL. In 1980, he moved the church to Lapalco Blvd. and changed the name to Westbank Cathedral. He also started
Westbank Cathedral Academy/ Daycare, which saw thousands of students educated with a quality Christian education. Pastor
Radke retired from Westbank Cathedral in 1996. He traveled worldwide and met with world leaders such as Prime Minister of

college and his military obligation. He from that time on, considered himself a native of New Orleans. The remaining years
of his life with a rewarding career in the hospitality industry. Marc Turk, was a deeply loved personality in the
Hospitality Industry, he brought from Mobile, Alabama, the Deep South gentility well-known to that city. Marc joined the
Royal Orleans Hotel in 1967 under the tutelage of managers Jim Nasikas, Archie Casbarian, Ron Pincus and later served a
short stint with Ella Brennan. From these and many others he perfected a manner of service that made every client feel like
a member of Royalty or at least a celebrity. In 1986, at the encouragement of long time friends, he created, owned and
managed the Bombay Club, a unique cocktail and fine dining establishment reminiscent of a gentlemen's club from the
Victorian Era. The Bombay Club's ambience encouraged formal dress but Marc's personal style made every guest feel welcome.
Under his direction, Bombay Club sponsored the highly successful benefit for Hospice, the Bombay Polo Cup at Innisfree Farm
in Folsom. Thanks in great measure to Marc's creativity and energy, that event not only provided substantial aid to the
charity but also became a fixture in the fall social season. Major Ronald Ferguson, father of the Duchess of York and polo
manager of Charles, HRH the Prince of Wales, was an annual visitor with his Guards Polo Team. The Major and team members
formed a lasting friendship with Marc and were responsible for countless British visitors to the Bombay Club, much to their
lasting pleasure. Private Funeral Services were held at the family's gravesite in Mobile, Alabama. Please sign the guestbook
