Just got off the phone with David. Seems he had a small heart attack a couple of weeks ago. He sounded pretty breathless to me, but he said he's ok. He's back at home. Hope everyone else 'out there' is ok! R

Helen, Can you give me some information on Caballino's Supermarket? I've never heard of it. I grew up near a convieniene store owned by the Cavallino's, but it was called the "Handy Pack", located on 21'st street in Kenner.

This is correct. Earl Benjamin and Glennie Francis are my great grandparents. I did not know that Marie Doralice was married previously though. To one of the Bienvenu's maybe? I've seen that name associated with her from the few records I have looked at. Glennie Francis Belle Boutte died the same month as Earl Benjamin, on November 15, 1952. It was very hard on my grandmother(Mildred Lucille Boutte) to lose both her parents so close together.
