First JFK Conference in Kenner

 Unending quest for truth in JFK assassination

SLIVERS TO PUZZLE HOPE TO POLLINATE INTEREST IN EXONERATING OSWALD

 

KENNER--Shreveport and Barksdale Air Force Base were mentioned by various speakers at the first Oswald Conference that attracted people from all over the country in October to share pieces of the puzzle of President John Kennedy's assassination.

 

Featured over two and a half days were authors and researchers with a collective knowledge of hundreds of years. Judyth Baker, who worked in a coffee shop with Oswald in New Orleans in 1963 and claimed to be his mistress, spoke several times. She was a prodigy in cancer research who shortly thereafter worked with Dr. Mary Sherman who was murdered, and a cast of assassination characters with such familiar names as David Ferrie, a central figure in District Attorney Jim Garrison's investigation of the assassination that brought Clay Shaw to trial.

 

Organizer Kris Millegan called the assassination a coup d'etat. "I want my country back," he said. He said he was there because of his father's CIA service, for his children and for the country. "This is a huge political act to celebrate (Lee Harvey) Oswald's birthday," he said.

 

"I'm not standing here just for Lee, I'm standing here for Kennedy," Baker said. She is putting together a declaration of innocence and trying to find a Congressman to help. When Baker worked with Oswald, he had conversations with her about operations being conducted against Fidel Castro possibly involving biological weapons. They visited Ferrie's home where he apparently kept mice.

 

Speaker Jim Marrs, a journalist and author, said the only certainty is Kennedy was shot in the head in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. Marrs said there is fabrication, suppression, alteration and destruction of evidence and intimidation of witnesses.

 

Shreveport newspaper

 

Edgar Tatro, professor and author, mentioned a Shreveport newspaper which published a photo purporting to be Ferrie with Shaw at a party. It was published by Ned Touchstone, editor of the Councilor. Tatro called it a "fanatical right wing newspaper." The photo is with WDSU personnel from 1949.

 

While the Mafia, CIA, Russians, Cubans and any number of groups could have killed Kennedy, Tatro said, they could not have gotten Kennedy's car to drive only 11 m.p.h. without a bubbletop through Dealey Plaza. That came from Lyndon Johnson's inner circle, he said. The press vehicle was not in its normal slot either.

 

Tatro said notes from Kennedy's secretary, Eleanor Lincoln, indicated that JFK wanted to dump LBJ from the ticket, calling that motive. He said LBJ aide Bill Moyers was sent to smooth over the details of the motorcade.

 

Another tidbit: Tatro said La. Rep. Hale Boggs, member of the Warren Commission, wasn't satisfied with the results. Bill Clinton drove Boggs to the airport for the flight to Alaska where his plane disappeared.

 

Tatro also mentioned Larry King's involvement. At the behest of Miami financier Louis Wolfson, King arranged a dinner with Garrison that included Wolfson, Miami DA Richard Gerstein and King. Wolfson was interested in Garrison’s investigation and offered to quietly provide $25,000 to underwrite it. King, with Gerstein, agreed to act as an intermediary to deliver the monthly allotments of $5,000 to Garrison. King didn’t hold up his end of the bargain.

 

Barksdale and Shreveport doctor

 

Rose Cherami of Eunice is depicted in Oliver Stone's JFK traveling with two men on Highway 190. She was taken to a hospital after being thrown out of the vehicle that she said was traveling to kill the President, then taken to jail, then to a state hospital, said Todd Elliott.

 

Elliott mentioned a doctor from Shreveport who also practiced at Charity Hospital in New Orleans who treated a woman who was brought in and asked, "Did they get Ruby, too?"

 

Cherami was a known heroin addict involved with organized crime and was arrested at Barksdale at 19, aiding soldiers in escape, Elliott said.

 

He said Jack Ruby, who shot Oswald, would stay at a Eunice hotel.

 

Elliott suggested Rufus Youngblood moved a little too soon to protect LBJ during the shooting and was given a promotion to head of the Secret Service.

 

Louisianan Barry Seal and Barksdale

 

Ten days after Watergate, Barry Seal was arrested for sending seven tons of explosives via cargo plane on the way to Mexico to trade for heroin. President Richard Nixon needed hush money from a Mexican connection, said author Daniel Hopsicker.

 

A movie is being made about Seal, who is rumored to pilot a get-away plane from Dallas.  Recently in the news was a story about a lawsuit attempting to stop the movie.

 

When he was 16, Seal was in a two-week summer camp with the Civil Air Patrol at Barksdale and supposedly came under the command of Ferrie and met cadet Oswald.

 

One of Seal's flight instructors said he was "first cousin to a bird."

 

The speaker does not believe Seal was murdered by cartel rivals.

 

He said the CIA moves people in and out of places without being seen through general aviation. He discussed sheep-dipped planes (washed through another company). H.L. Hunt's granddaughter owned some of these planes. Hunt spent money in an anti-Kennedy campaign because Kennedy was interested in revoking the oil depletion allowance, a decision that would have meant steep losses for Texas oilmen.

 

Dr. Mary's Monkey

 

This article can't begin to go into the complicated Dr. Mary's Monkey by Edward Haslam. He says Dr. Alton Ochsner's hospital was a covert research center which the CIA set up. Haslam believes that Ochsner, who was plugged into the national power structure and was president of the American Cancer Society, recruited Sherman to run an operation that was involved in carrying out secret research into developing a vaccine to prevent an epidemic of soft-tissue cancers caused by polio vaccine contaminated with SV-40. A spinoff project included using a linear particle accelerator in New Orleans.

 

Panelist Victoria Hawes said she was neighbors to Sherman and Juan Valdes and heard constant toilet flushing, which she later believed to be mice cancer carcasses. She knew Oswald from junior high school and he knocked on her door once, mistaking it for the apartment of Valdes. She would accept packages for Valdes that had to be refrigerated and he would pay her back for calls he made to Cuba from her phone.

 

Sherman's 1964 murder is still unsolved.

 

More from Marrs

 

Marrs mentioned no Oswald fingerprints on the rifle, no gunpowder on his face or hands and a live oak tree in the way of the shot. He said Maj. Phil Willis, an eyewitness, said, "If you told the Warren Commission yes, they'd put down no."

 

Other tidbits I never knew

 

A random encounters panel said the man who assembled the rifle for packaging to Washington, D.C., said it had a dirty bore, meaning it would not have just been recently shot three times.

 

Harry Byrd, owner of the Texas School Book Depository, was granted a large defense contract to build fighter planes by Johnson. It was suggested that he knew Ferrie via the Civil Air Patrol.

 

The mayor of Dallas was the brother of Charles Cabell, who was deputy director of the CIA until he resigned in the wake of the Bay of Pigs invasion.

 

Nixon and Joan Crawford were in Dallas at a Pepsi convention the day of the assassination.

20th annual grief column

There are some conversations you never forget. A man at a garage sale was talking about his uncle who said, “I lost my wife to a better man.” That man was Jesus! His aunt had died.

While death may seem like it can destroy you, it could be stepping stone to such a revelation. Your loved one is with Jesus for a glorious reunion. YOU are not broken; your heart is.

It was the worst day ever when dad died, but the best day ever in heaven, finding Jesus. This is from “Firing Squad.” It’s only for a while we must part. Death does not break the bonds of love. What the heart once owned, it shall never lose.--Henry Ward Beecher

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.--William Penn

God is with you during the funeral. He opens heaven and pours His blessings though it may not feel like it at the time when it seems like you have an open wound that won’t ever close. Grief evolves and changes, but can push you to be stronger, better equipped and more present as well as what to do with the remainder of your days.

Loss affects people differently. “Brain” magazine said it can make you could morph into hypervigilance about your own health.

You come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.--Anne Lamott

A segment on the “700 Club” said don’t go down the rabbit hole of what ifs and if onlys. That won’t change anything. There is nothing to be gained by looking back.

That only makes you stumble because you weren’t looking ahead.—“The House on Prytania.” You can hang on to something that happened in your past that you had no control over or you can look forward to something new that may move your forward.

David Jeremiah tells about a widow who says not to linger in sorrow after a golf cart accident killed his wife at church. This man said “to serve Him.”

I have been drawn to little Lucy Morgan's story and the freak badminton accident that caused her death. I watched her funeral. Her mother had the courage to speak. She said: We have not turned from Him. I am angry and wrestling though. I know He is going to win. God has no supervisor. We can’t have hope in a man’s world, a pastor or friends.

If grief takes its toll, God can embrace amid every loss.--Linda Grazulis

Grief is the reminder that love was present and that even if it’s no longer in its original form, that love still exists.--Michelle Maroc

We don’t get to choose many things, but we do get to choose how we live.--The Dash summation

Wonder! Remind yourself of your purpose. Do the best with what you have to attempt a fresh start.

Here’s one way to learn how. A blue Christmas service with four stations. Prayer, scripture and candles represent the different types of loss and grief. Station 1) Personal prayer or talk with the pastor. 2) Write letters to God. 3) Write memories of those you lost and a thankful list. Wrap in a box and take home. 4) Mix water, ashes and smooth stones. Rub ashes on the stones. Then wash off. To end, have prayer in the center of the room.

This could have possibly helped Queen Victoria mourn Albert. She intended to wear black the rest of her life except for some official functions. Helping jolt Victoria back to reality was her eldest son's near fatal illness in 1871 and an attempt to assassinate her a few months later. Both prompted an outpouring of public support, making the queen realize that she owed it to her loyal subjects to engage in the royal spectacle they craved.

In a journal, condense a TV show, article or quote from a friend or an incident to explain. Be grateful that your thoughts matter. Redirect, think and smile without guilt. Grief is like blank pages. This project could bring you back to life and keep you going. Write your way through things, said “Stroke” magazine. Be curious about the way you feel. Incorporate elements of beauty in flowers, candles, books and music. Someone said they sang their son into heaven.

There will be triggers, smells, sounds that bring memories back. Triggers can include the sight of the handwriting of the deceased. A door knob turning. Private memories fill the silence and can startle you. You walk the hallways of a silent house. You catch yourself calling out their name or reaching for their hand. I saw Max Lucado’s description as spring becomes winter, blue turns to gray, birds go silent, the chill of sorrow settles in.

Feelings don’t die with pets either. You might wander around with its collar, favorite toy or spot where he used to snuggle.

“I can’t listen to bagpipes anymore,” a daughter said.

“I was level 2 sad all day,” said a Minneapolis law enforcement officer after a death in the department.

“It was moving so slow, but so fast at the same time,” I heard somewhere.

In a murder situation, someone said grief took a back seat that day. “I needed to find her killer.”

I feel you a different way now, said an Israeli hostage’s mother.

Becoming a motherless child is a difficult task no matter the age.

Grief can be endured because it holds hope’s hand. We can courage up into hard things.—“Luke in the Land”

You can linger in loss or hope for new beginnings. It’s up to you.

Of course I cry for you when I am low. But, it is also in my happiest times when I pause and want to share them with you. And then, I think it was probably you who put them there.--Sara Rian

Pain in grief serves a purpose. It means something is wrong and you need to rest. Loss is a wound and wounds hurt. Adjusting doesn’t just happen. It takes attention, time, effort and devotion. Reevaluate life and what is worth striving for.--TAPS magazine

Things grieving people have done:

Plant a tree with rocks around it.

The drone act on “America’s Got Talent” was in honor of one of their daughters who died. He could let grief consume him or fuel him to do something, he said.

Create a scholarship for a student who wants to be what your spouse was.

Someone put a handkerchief in her Bible on healing passages and mailed them with a card.

One family initialed Guideposts covers. She would pick up her dad’s and feel connected, knowing his hands turned the pages.

Heart of Surfing was developed for families with autism or developmental disabilities in honor of their son who had a seizure.

Someone went back and hiked all the places he and his wife did to help heal after her death.

Hold a lantern release.

A guy restored his late grandmother's pink Mustang, changing the plate to EVAS 68 to UR1 OF1. He drives the car and betters himself--like she is with him even though he never met her.

“I got up off the couch in order that other people can keep smiling, in order that other people can be safe, because our government needs to protect us,” said someone running for representative in Massachusetts. His daughter died in a plane crash.

One man’s son was a victim of sextortion and he ran for the South Carolina legislature and won. He got Gavin’s Law passed which criminalizes digital extortion, gets them 15 years per occurrence and mandates state education on this topic. He said he could sit in a corner and be a basket case, be angry at the world or do something.

Someone who lost their son uses Japanese kintsugi that repairs broken pottery and lacquers it.

A friend saved his deceased friend's voicemails and plays them when he hears a song that reminds him of him, after reading something about friendship, hiking to the cabin they built in Alaska and before his wedding. It's been since 2012. "I carry him every day in my heart," he says. Voicemails capture playfulness, tone or retrieval of a memory.

Ben’s Bells are beautiful, ceramic wind chimes, handmade by the community. By the time one Ben’s Bell is complete, at least 10 people have been involved in its creation. Ben’s Bells are hung randomly in public spaces for people to find and take home as a reminder to practice intentional kindness.

Father Mike Schmidt said L. Frank Baum had four boys. He told them stories. His wife had a niece named Dorothy. When Dorothy died, his wife was broken. He wrote down stories he told the boys and put Dorothy in them.

A man invited a mom and two kids in to learn the piano. Friends didn’t check in and he was rattling around trying to figure out what to do with himself. Food didn’t taste as good. Music didn’t move him like used to. TV wasn’t as entertaining. When he played piano, every feeling poured out--love, grief, anger, awe, fear, calmness, disappointment and joy. God’s grace is a little like middle C—everything flows from it, the story said.

In lieu of flowers, a man donates to pay off the debt of school lunches.

Instead of allowing herself to disappear into the grief abyss, a woman created Widow 411 to offer a variety of useful resources to help make widowhood suck a little less. I've made it my mission to share the no-B.S. version of widowhood, using a candid and unflinchingly honest approach, she said. I share practical advice, hard-earned wisdom and encouraging messages of personal growth so other widows can find strength amidst their pain. You can do hard things.

When his wife had miscarried, a man recalls the women gathering around to console her and share their own stories of miscarriage and loss. The men patted him on the back and helped him stack chairs. That can mean that men oftentimes grieve alone, in silence and on a different timeline than their wives. Red Bird Ministries was born. “It’s like we’re carving the grief Mount Rushmore,” he said.

Make a grief box. You turn it upside down and do a “grief dump,” shake it and open it for a short time, taking out items and sharing. Then you put them back in the box and close the lid.

After nearly three decades, Kathy Sanders’ feelings about April 19, 1995, have become bittersweet. “I enjoy the anniversary. I love the fact that our loved ones are still being honored after all these years. You don’t want your loved ones forgotten, so it’s a good thing that they do,” she told “The Oklahoman.” She likened the pain of losing her grandsons Colton Smith, 2, and Chase Smith, 3, in the bombing to losing one’s sense of sight. “If a person loses their eyesight, do you think there’s ever a day they wake up in the morning and they don’t mourn the fact they can’t see the sun rising? I mean, they have this life that they didn’t choose, and they didn’t want, but it’s the life they have now.”

A 7-year-old opened the most recent of 14 years’ worth of Christmas gifts pre-bought by her elderly neighbor before he died of cancer. After the funeral, Ken’s family was surprised to find a sack full of 14 wrapped presents for the girl who was then only two. #BeMoreKen reveals on Twitter Cadi’s gift, encouraging others to be kind and to get to know their neighbors.

There is a Broadway show where the sisters get together to assemble a quilt for their mother—a repository of family history.

Henry Louis Gates got interested in genealogy after being petrified at seeing his grandfather in a casket. He was 9 when he drew his first family tree. His father showed him scrapbooks so he interviewed his parents. You may cry a puddle of tears, so try not to stain your album. Learn to be more like your parents.

Keifer Sutherland said it helped that his dad loved what he did and did what he loved.

People of Tournai, Belgium, bury their own dead. I buried my five children with my own hands, said one. There was no one who wept for the dead, for all awaited death.

Here’s how people describe grief. Hollow. The floor drops out. A blur. Even with a month to brace for it.—Sen. Joe Lieberman’s son

A man said was left dull, monochromatic and without hope. His first marriage ended, his father died, his best man killed himself. One of the core goals of his life is survival; the other is meaning. He found himself looking at a crabapple tree in the backyard. Every sunset, dinner and bedtime story dripped with significance.

Grief seers your mind, can create restlessness, trouble concentrating, avoiding certain places, isolating, moodiness, feeling torn up, strange, overwhelmed, disconnected, untethered, unfocused, unprepared, abandoned, shattered, shattered, abnormal, unhinged, crazy, unfathomable, ripped to pieces. There can be a sense of foreboding and losing your marbles. You ask who am I now, part of you went away, have no timeline, feel like a period in the middle of a sentence, have a surplus of agony,

Nothing feels right, but you can’t shield yourself from death. Death can wreck you, but don’t spend all your time thinking about me, someone advised their offspring. They were told to live their life to the fullest.

Grief is normal. Postposed grief is avoiding the consequences. Even after eight years, someone can’t open a box that belongs to the deceased. Others clean a closet the day after the funeral.

St. Bernard’s grief was revealed in a homily by Father Isaac Slater of Our Lady of the Genesee Abbey. St. Bernard breaks off, too grief-stricken, he says, by the recent loss of his brother, to continue. He writes of how, at first, he tried to hold back and deny his grief. He describes “keeping up a pretense,” “doing violence to himself” and “suppressing” what he felt, disguising his grief behind the vestments and ritual of the funeral ceremony. The suppressed sorrow struck deeper roots within, growing all the more bitter, because it found no outlet.

Bernard’s attempt to bury his grief is a good example of what psychologists call “emotional bypassing--” our tendency to do an end-run around difficult feelings, both our own and those of others. We need to sink down into the muck, not to wallow in it, but to own and accept every facet of ourselves in order to heal.

Avoid a friend that says he will call you back when you quit crying. Be a friend who stays for the cup of coffee.

Never anticipate a tomorrow, Dan Bongino said after his mother died. Winnie the Pooh says bye is hard, but it’s lucky to have something that makes it so.

Enrich and bless those who mourn by your actions. Comfort and solace each other. Death is one of life’s most dreaded experiences. You don’t get a do-over. Set yourself free—based on “Time for Me to Fly.”

Finish a bucket list. Mick Carney was killed by a distracted driver when he was 54. His list was written in 1978, the year his daughter was born. There were 60 tasks; five were done. Do a comedy monologue in a club and see a World Series game. One was marked failed. Pay back my dad $1,000 plus interest. Swim the width of a river. Grow a melon. Correspond with the pope. Be invited to a political convention. Talk with the president. The daughter was 25 and an aspiring writer in NYC. She thought his was an undignified way to die and became an activist for safe driving, writing articles, fundraising, giving talks and interviews. The bucket list helped her work through her pain and reconnect with her dad. She crafted a tentative timeline and put off the pricier items like the Super Bowl and going to Europe. As well as the one that scared her the most--drive a Corvette. The first couple she achieved organically. She had signed up for a marathon herself. She found out Jimmy Carter taught Sunday school and he was president when the dad wrote the list. He wanted to sing at his daughter’s wedding, but she used poetic license. They drank a Cabernet he had left a note on for her wedding day. Well, their bellies were singing. It felt like her dad was with her along the way. She felt like her relationship with him was present. She recorded some songs in a studio. She encourages everyone to live more intentionally and when you are living that way, you feel more of a sense of purpose in your life.

Dental benefits in decay, let’s get down to the root of the matter and brush away the bad image

Congratulations to Gov. Ron DeSantis for signing a bill to help provide grants from nonprofits for veterans to receive dental care. Eighty five percent aren’t eligible for dental care.

I have wanted to complete my thoughts for this story for 20 years. Many years ago my late father busted his front teeth and lip from an accidental fall due to a medical condition. He pleaded with Medicare to pay for reimbursement for dental work resulting from the fall. They rubber-stamped every letter, saying routine dental work is not covered. This was not cosmetic!
Does a fall on concrete that busted my dad’s front teeth and lip and involved calling 911 sound routine? There needs to be an updated definition of medically necessary dental care that doesn’t limit dental services for our elderly population.
I believe dental work should be covered under Medicare when it is the result of an unintentional injury. We did enormous amounts of research to try to prove our point: that the mouth and teeth are important to daily living, a window on general health status and the gateway of the body.
According to Oral Health in America: A Report of the Surgeon General, oral health is important to general health and well being. Oral refers to not only the teeth and gums, but their supporting tissues, the tongue, lips, salivary glands, the chewing muscles and the upper and lower jaws. The mouth allows us to talk and laugh, sigh and kiss, eat and taste, chew and swallow, cry out in pain and convey a world of feelings and emotions through facial expressions, says the report. Oral problems, therefore, affect the ability to eat, the foods we choose, how we look and the way we communicate. A person’s self-image and self-esteem do not need to be more adversely affected by lack of dental care coverage, especially to a person who has speech and facial residuals from three prior strokes like my father. Unrepaired teeth also discourage social interaction when it is crucial to have peers after a serious accident.
My dad had the ability to pay his bills to the emergency department, oral surgeon, dentist and endodontist. He had the education to investigate the system on how to fight the denial claims he kept receiving from Medicare for reimbursement of treatment that he and all of his health care providers believed he needed. What about the people who don’t have the money or ability to fight? Individuals who are poor, medically compromised or who have disabilities are at greater risk for oral diseases, and, in turn, oral diseases further jeopardize their health, says the surgeon general’s report.
Research findings have pointed to possible associations between chronic oral infections and diabetes, heart and lung diseases, stroke and low birth weight premature babies. David Hood, then secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, stated at a meeting I attended that Louisiana was going to begin a program to combat low birth weight pre-term babies believed to be caused from periodontal disease of the mother.
Please, policymakers, take a look at a reasonable reform to include adequate dental coverage in these circumstances. It is critical that the inclusion of oral health services, oral disease prevention programs, oral care delivery systems and current dental reimbursement schedules be studied.
Even children in the LSU AgCenter Body Walk learn if they don’t have a healthy mouth and they wouldn’t be able to eat some foods, especially crunchy ones. This could cause refusal to eat.
My dad broke his tooth on a cherry seed once and ever since we all run a knife through small fruit to check for a seed.
Dental well-being affects your overall health and quality of life, said an AARP speaker on a Zoom that I listened to the other day. Your teeth are like an arch. If you remove one, others misalign. Having all of your teeth prevents the jaw bone from atrophy, a sunken appearance.
Remember these quotes.
All people smile in the same language. A smile is a little curve that sets a lot of things straight. The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. Be true unto your teeth or they will be false unto you. My grandfather would take his denture plate out and try to be funny.
I have not laughed over dental issues. When I got a root canal, the pain that led me to it hurt so much I wanted to bang my head on the dash to try to ease it. I had a crown come out in West Virginia and I couldn’t eat or drink without pain so I cut my trip short.
My wisdom teeth came out during college back in the day when you spent the night in the hospital before the procedure. For some reason, my brother went first and told me it hurt when they removed the stitches days later. He was yanking my chain.
Dad pulled my baby teeth gently with a handkerchief. I only recall the blood. I’ve also had a dental implant with no pain or problems until I got the bill.
Two cities in the Philippines have mandated that municipal employees must smile at all times or risk fines, suspension or firing. They want to eliminate "bureaucratic grumpiness." The sullen sourpuss. The writer in The Sun asks: What if the DMV and Post Office could stop being institutionally ill-tempered and feign good humor while dealing with the public?
And what if it didn’t cost so much.

I remember coming home from first grade from Our Lady of Fatima School in Lafayette and my younger siblings were not there. Mom said there had been a car wreck and dad was at the hospital with them.

To me, there are several Catholic references that may have saved my family from more serious harm.  My school name (and it was our church), my being named after the Virgin Mary and once living on St. Louis Street in Lafayette before that home. The hospital was Our Lady of Lourdes.

They had just gone down the street in the 1962 red Ford Falcon while I was at school around 11 a.m. on March 31, 1964. We are not sure why dad was home from work. Maybe it was his lunch hour and they only shared one car, so were running errands together. The incident occurred 1.5 miles from our home, 125 Westchester Drive.

We kids grew up knowing the basics; a truck (turns out it was a 1952 Chevrolet) hit them from behind.  However, I just learned about a lawsuit from a free weekend access to newspapers.com.  I couldn’t wait to call Lafayette Civil Court for a copy on Monday. I could have missed all this if I hadn’t asked the clerk to try Van Osdell as one word when she could not find it. Story of my life. We did not know the Falcon was also pushed into a parked vehicle. We thought we knew the gist of the story, but evidently not how severe mom’s injuries were. She temporarily lost vision. A housekeeper was needed to help out.

In the lawsuit filed that was settled for I don’t know how much, the ambulance cost $7. The emergency exam at Our Lady of Lourdes for three of them was $49. The hospital expense through April 6 for my 4-year-old brother was $188.84—he had a skull fracture and concussion. There were special nurses, sitters, pharmaceuticals, meals my parents ate at the hospital, long distance calls for help, transportation expenses for family to come by rail to assist and a taxi fare for mom which I assume was to get home for when I got out of school. Even a TV rental for my brother in the hospital and for 90 days once he got home. I always thought they bought him a TV for his suffering and maybe they did after the rental. I guess TVs were not standard in rooms back then. Benny also made subsequent visits to doctors and to a different medical facility, Ochsner, up until May 1965.

The insurance deductible on the car was $100. I’ve always assumed It was totaled.

Dad always said he shooed the TV cameras away, so the scene must have been pretty bad. Later, I become a newspaper reporter who would report on various calamities.

My sister and I look back and see why our family always prayed in the car before a trip to New Orleans, our hometown. Why dad always said to drive defensively—it was his motto. Why we had to keep a quarter for the pay phone in the glove box while traveling from Shreveport to LSU and had the names of every Texaco station owner on the route in case of emergency. We even called collect when we got to our dorm using a fake name to avoid the long-distance charges.

Dad worked for Texaco for $32 a day, the suit said. Mom did not work outside of the home. How did they afford the house, car, three kids and private school for me?

I don’t remember much about our year in Lafayette, but I had pictures of every house we ever lived in placed in a big frame as a Christmas gift for my parents one year. I drive by that Lafayette house every time I am in the city. One time the owner was outside, but did not invite me in. He did take my picture in the very spot I posed at age 5 for my first day of school.

The accident, getting off at the wrong bus stop once, a bad dream about an elephant on top of me when I was very sick and eating Fudgsicles at school are my only memories of Lafayette. Though I think this accident stuck with mom forever, as years later I was in a hit and run and at the very moment she called my cell to ask if I was OK. She “heard” me in the hall calling out “mom.” I was fine, but that driver ran off. An eerie situation for sure.

And just this summer, I believe my parents were with me for protection when my car stalled on the very busy Mississippi Bridge in Baton Rouge. Of course, Jesus was, too.

On the very day I requested the lawsuit, there was a “Jeopardy” question about the assassination attempt on the Pope on May 13, 1981.  He attributed the protection to the Virgin of Fatima. The Pope believed that a motherly hand guided the bullet’s path from the threshold of death.

As I said, being at Fatima school, Our Lady of Lourdes hospital and my holy name are attributed to this accident not being worse.

I will always wonder where they were going and if my parents thought about March 31 every year. I will now. I’ll also visit the site at 2802 Johnston St. where these injuries occurred next time I’m down in Lafayette. I’ll drive to all the Marian locations and say a thanksgiving prayer that the Lord was with them and it wasn’t the hour of their death.
