In 2001, he received the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities Humanist of the Year Award. He served as a member of the Louisiana Purchase Bicentennial Commission, New Iberia Bicentennial of the Founding, New Iberia Sesquicentennial of Incorporation, New Iberia Historic District Commission, board of directors of the Louisiana Historical Association, board of directors of the Louisiana Historical Association, board of directors of the Attakapas Historical Association and publisher of the Attakapas Gazette, the historical journal of the Acadiana region, and was a member of the Southern Historical Association. He received the Greater Iberia Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Civic Service Award in 1993.
