another oldie -----Original Message----- From: Paul L LeBlanc <[email protected]> Frying Turkeys . Before I moved up because of Hurricane Katrina, I lived in Kenner (New Orleans Airport). At noon on the day before holidays, Nubbie would shut down the auto shop and setup the burners. From when the oil got hot until late evening all the men would bring their Turkey and two 6 packs of beer. We would have four burners going the entire time. You were suppose to leave after your turkeys were finished but the wives would show up about dinner tiime to pick up "both" their turkeys. I would get the privlage of driving the unclaimed husbands home. The was one of the few times a year where the blue collar & white collars would hang together. We always use peanut oil because one of the white collars was the local Planters rep. Now I have to buy my turkey already fried like "les americans"

Where I am, Where are you? Short answer I am in l'Ascension about 20 mins from where my X great grandparents married in 1786. In 2005 I did a Hurricane evacuation for Katrina. I was on the way to stay in Baton Rouge with Jim Le Blanc whose wife was out of the country. I had driven for 7 hours on Airline Hwy trying to drive what I had driven in a little over an hour the night before. Exhausted I stopped in Gonzales with my 1st cousin who are also my 2nd cousins. Grandpa married a pair of sisters. Politicos were saying months before we could return so I took an apartment here. I did not get water in the old place until a couple of days after the storm. If I had stayed I could have stopped it from happening. -----Original Message----- From: Lynn Labauve <[email protected]> Paul, where do you live now?
