Both Janice and I were suffering from colds while in Bay St. Louis. We managed to take a drive along the coast, visiting Gulfport and Biloxi. No stories; no pics. Just a lot of sneezing and coughing.
By the time we reached Lafayette, LA, we were on the road to recovery. We drove around Lafayette, my hometown for about four years while I was flying offshore oil support for Petroleum Helicopters, Inc., a/k/a PHI. Even visited PHI's new digs - a beautiful new facility built in 2011. I wandered inside and, on my telling the receptionists that I flew for the company 40 years ago, I was given a very nice guided tour of the facility. Also drove by the old homestead. One of the little trees I planted is now huge... hard to believe that much time has passed! We also found a GREAT cajun restaurant in Henderson, about 9 miles east of Lafayette. The name of the place is Pat's and if you are ever in the area, jump off I-10 and grab some etouffee. You won't be disappointed!!
