away on Sunday, May 28, 2006, in Simmesport, Louisiana. Mr. Clark was born on May 24, 1914,
to the late Lurania Bell and Lloyd Clark. The man affectionately known as 'Champ' had a
truly blessed life. He was born in Alexandria, Louisiana and moved to New Orleans with his
parents and late sister Grace Parker at the age of three. Mr. Clark devoted his life to the
children of Orleans Parish as an Educator for 45 years at 17 Elementary, Junior and Senior
High Schools in New Orleans. During this same period Mr. Clark spent a lifetime of helping
people and breaking barriers as a teacher, writer, radio personality, bank executive and
author. He was the charter editor of the Xavier University Herald, Xavier Alumni Voice and
Xavier Poetry Society. He broke many racial barriers in the city and state by becoming the
first African American radio talk show host in Louisiana. His brilliant career spanned the
better part of five decades on stations such as WBOK, WNNR, WXEL and WYLD. Three decades as
play by play announcer for St. Augustine High School football games and Xavier University
basketball games. The first and only African American recipient of the Saints Hall of Fame
prestigious 'Fleur De Lis' Award. He was the first and only African American Louisiana
Athletic Commissioner appointed by then Governor Edwin Edwards to oversee professional
boxing and wrestling in the state. He was the first and only African American Ring
Announcer for two World Championship fights (ALI vs. SPINKS and Sugar Ray Leonard vs.
Roberto Duran). He was the first African American Bank Vice President of FNBC which later
became CHASE BANK. He also was an award winning author of 5 books including the 1941
masterpiece 'Arrows of Gold.' In addition to the books, Mr. Clark spent six plus decades as
a sports columnist for publications such as GRIDWEEK, LOUISIANA WEEKLY, DATA NEWS AND
SPORTS PARADE MAGAZINE. His role as an educator, sports journalist and pioneering radio
announcer and bank executive broke racial barriers and paved the road that many African
American professionals in this city, state and nation now travel. Mr. Clark graduated from
Xavier Prep in 1931 and went on to earn his B.A. and Masters in English from Xavier
University. He spent five years after college as a World War II Air Force Officer. He
belonged to many civic and social clubs including the Knights of Peter Claver, Beau Brummel
Social Club and Autocrat Social Club. He also was instrumental and a big supporter in the
early stages of the ZULU Social Aid and Pleasure Club including an unprecedented live radio
broadcast of the entire ZULU parade, including the first interviews with one time king
Louis Armstrong, during the organizations formative years. Mr. Clark spent the final months
of his life following Hurricane Katrina in Marksville, Louisiana in the loving care of his
wife Katherine, youngest son Mark and daughter- in-law Marcy. He requested that the
following lines from one of his poems in the book 'Arrows of Gold' be read: No star will
set when I am gone For I am but a candle. No flags will fly when I depart For, I wear no
hero's mantle. My faith is no fragile thing, like a leaf in an autumns blast; But a dream
sail of infinite planning, Hitched to Heaven's top most-mast! He is survived by his loving
and incredible wife of 64 years, Katherine Martin Clark, sons, Malik Hakim, Peter, Paul,
and Mark Vincent Clark, daughters, Kuishi Paine, and Anne Bonner, seven grandchildren, two

Irving Ives of New York. After leaving Washington, she was active in the League of Women
Voters. At three different universities, as the wife of a college administrator, she
contributed significantly to the work of offices where she had no title, but where the
demands made on her abilities and energy were such that at least half the title should have
been hers. Her later work years were spent in real estate, where her greatest satisfaction
came not from the many plaques and commissions, but from the experience of helping young
first-home buyers find the closest thing to what they could afford. She is survived by her
husband, James F. Davidson, Blacksburg VA, and by four children and three grandchildren:

000265	Dogan - Darla Woods Kinney Dogan, on Monday, June 12, 2006 at her home in
Prairieville, lost her valiant 24 year battle against breast cancer, Parkinson's and
diabetes, and has joined her beloved husband, Loran. Darla was an early example of a
liberated woman. At age 14 she learned to drive an 18 wheeler from her father's trucking
business. She designed a filing system for Wren Aircraft, won many awards for proficiency
at Texas Instruments, and was the office manager and medical assistant for Doctors Ellis
and Mann, the first pediatric surgeons in the state of Texas. Upon moving to New Orleans in
the early 1980s she became the manager of the LePetit and Patio Motels. After learning the
hotel business in New Orleans, she purchased the Lighthouse Inn in Gulfport, MS, which was
one of Darla's proudest accomplishments. After marrying her second husband, Loran, she
lived in Ireland and then Jamaica due to his employment with Kaiser Aluminum. While in
Jamaica, Darla was involved with the Sisters of Mercy religious order and the St. John
Bosco Boys Home helping to establish a soup kitchen and also hosting many fund raising
events. She was renowned for her wonderful dinner parties. Darla was also a member of the
Garden Club at the compound where the Kaiser executives and their families resided. She was
very proud of her garden, winning many awards for it. She was the unofficial leader of the
unofficial wives club due to her being one of the few wives intrepid enough to drive in
Jamaica. While living overseas, Darla was able to indulge her love of travelling by going
to Great Britian and many countries in Europe. She made a pilgrimage to Medjugore and
visited The Vatican, which left profound impressions on her as she was a convert to
Catholicism. Darla was a loving grandmother, over-protective to a fault because of the near
drowning as a child of her son, Sean. In 2003 when her step-granddaughter, Lisa, was nearly
killed in a MVA, Darla slept with her for days in case Lisa needed her. Darla was a master
gardener and knew the name of just about every flower. She was knowledgeable of a range of
subjects including antiques, art, china, porcelain, pottery and glassware to name a few.
She adored animals and could never pass up a stray in need of a home, even while living in
the RV, much to Loran's chagrin. She was adventuresome and always willing to try new
things. Darla was a daughter, a wife, a mother, a sister, a grandmother, and a friend. But
what Darla was mostly was an optimist. Despite being so sick for so long, she would say she
had been blessed. Darla was preceded in death by her husband and best friend: Loran; her
parents: T.O. and Mae Woods; her brother: Thurman Woods; and her step-son, James Dogan. She
is survived by her daughter and son-in-law: Alana and David Amaro, who moved from Texas to
care for both Loran and Darla. Without them Darla would have been lost to us years ago. She
also leaves to grieve three step-daughters and their husbands: Mary and Dr. Robert Burris
of Baton Rouge, LA., Carolyn and Nick Ryan of Jackson, WY., and Lauren and Louis Wilt, Sr.
of Jefferson, LA. Also surviving Darla are her two sons of which she was so proud: Warren
Kinney of Ft. Worth, TX, and Sean Kinney and his fiancee, Christine Cargill of Los Angeles,
CA. and one step-son and his wife: David and Carol Dogan of Metairie, LA. She leaves a
brother and sister-in-law: Kenny and Tamara Woods, with whom Darla spent her final vacation
just months ago at their home in Navarre, FL. Also mourning her passing are three
grandchildren; twelve step-grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren Darla's life will be
celebrated on Wednesday, June 21, 2006 at St. Mark Church in Gonzales, LA. where she was a
member of The Adoration Ministry. Friends and family may call at 8:30 AM with mass

School. In addition to teaching physical education and coaching, she was also a certified
instructor for the Red Cross, teaching CPR and other life saving skills. Her first love
though was teaching swimming, and over the last forty years she taught thousands of
children water safety. Her goal in life was to ensure that every child she had the
opportunity to teach would be able to enjoy the water and understand the responsibility of
that enjoyment. She educated not only the child but the parents as well, emphasizing the
importance of water safety and survival skills due to the fact that southeast Louisiana is
naturally surrounded by water. Everywhere she went she was always recognized and she never
forgot a student. Her students were like family, they were generational. Mrs. Hauswald was
a founding member of the St. Bernard Ladies Softball League and an avid angler and boater.
She loved the water and enjoyed many outings on Lake Pontchartrain. At home she enjoyed
cooking and never missed an opportunity to try a new recipe or offer one of her own. She
even encompassed that in her personality, as she was truly the spice of life. Pal was
dearly loved by all who knew her and she will be sadly missed. She leaves behind her
dearest friend, often referred to as her 'earth angel' Bunny deLivaudais, two sons Gerald
'Jay' Hauswald, Jr. and Capt. Shaun Hauswald. Mother in law of Rita Hauswald and Shelia

By MARGARET GRAFF KAHN I wonder when I'm going to die I wonder why, I wonder when; For it
will make no difference at all When I reach my earthly end. The sun will still shine clear
and bright And stars will glow throughout the night The rivers yet will seek the sea, They
do not need to wait for me And whether I'm here or gone away, The birds with song will
greet each day. Important I am really not; I just don't want to be forgot! Times Picayune

000666	Moore - Shannon Hartwick Moore, passionate advocate for animals and active volunteer
for many humane organizations in the New Orleans area, died May 31. A lifelong resident of
New Orleans and Metairie, Shannon was 36. She was a magna cum laude graduate of Loyola
University and, at the time of her death, was a partner with Fitzmaurice & Moore Associates
CPAs. Shannon's volunteer work for animals leaves an imprint that survives her. On behalf
of the animals she loved, Shannon formed (SOS) Supporters of Save Our Pets. She was
instrumental in rallying grassroots support and awareness for the Louisiana Pet Evacuation
Bill so that pet owners would never again be forced to abandon their pets in the event of a
disaster. She was a driving force behind the People & Pets March to the State Capitol steps
this spring, part of a coordinated non-stop push for passage of the bill. Although her
possessions had been damaged by Katrina, Shannon's response was to focus on saving the
lives of hundreds of the thousands of hurricane stranded animals. She immediately
volunteered for food/water programs to sustain displaced pets and strays in the streets.
Shannon realized most of the animals she helped rescue and comfort had known warm laps,
familiar voices and homes before the hurricanes. She became a Stealth Volunteer and spent
countless hours in the challenging quest of reuniting missing pets and their grieving
owners. Horses were Shannon's great love. The fate of large animals in the wake of
hurricanes Katrina and Rita impacted her deeply. Unable to stand by as horses starved, she
became fiercely involved in saving them. It is difficult to estimate the number of
truckloads of hay and the huge quantity of food and supplies she moved for animals
struggling to survive in Gulf Coast areas. She created the HayThere group to assist hay
producers and consumers via an online marketplace for hay and feed goods. One of Shannon's
great gifts was an innate ability to bring information, people, transports and supplies
together. If all else failed, she'd hop into a vehicle and deliver the feed/ supplies
herself. She was a one-woman information clearinghouse. Any animal rescue group that needed
statistics, a news story or contact information counted on Shannon. She practiced
compassion in an unassuming way that never called for recognition or accolades. Shannon was
beautiful, graceful, empathetic, kind, determined, impatient, fun, intelligent, tenacious,
gracious, shy, honest, loyal and idealistic. Preceded in death by her beloved dog, Ginson,
and her paint mare, Ivy, Shannon is sadly missed by her family. She will be buried at
Metairie Cemetery, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. on Tuesday, June 6 at 10:00 a.m. Shannon is
best honored by acts of kindness and compassion and by passionate efforts to improve animal
welfare standards in Louisiana. The family suggests that in lieu of flowers, donations be

000819	Silverton - It is with the deepest sorrow that the Silverton Family announce the
death of Billie L. Silverton on Wednesday, April 26, 2006 from breast cancer in
Celebration, Florida. Beloved wife and mother, she leaves behind her husband of 50 years,
Graham Silverton; her son, Gray Silverton; her daughter, Carol Ann Silverton; her daughter
and son-in-law, Mary and Brandon Rathbun and one brother, James Cole. Billie was a graduate
of Lee's McCray College in Banner Elk, NC. She married and moved to Louisiana in 1955. She
worked as a Medical Records Administrator for 48 years starting at St. Francis Hospital in
Monroe, LA then moving to New Orleans in 1964 where she worked for Tulane Medical School
and Medical Center and Ochsner Clinic. She retired from Ochsner in 1996. In the mid 60's
Billie was instrumental in fighting for the rights of mentally and physically handicapped
children to attend school along side regular students. Her tireless energies along side
other parents with handicapped children helped change the laws that governed the school
board, and provided the much needed Special Education Program in the New Orleans school
system. She was an advocate for blood and organ donation and worked with several
associations including the Autism Society of America and United Cerebral Palsy Foundation.
Among her many interests, Billie was a voracious reader and an accomplished cook. She loved
going out and spending as much time as possible with her family and friends. Billie, Graham
and their son Gray were Katrina victims. They were displaced and reside in Windermere, FL.
A memorial is being planned by family and friends to be held in New Orleans, LA within the

born in New Orleans, Louisiana on December 20, 1912 to Henry Eugene Ralph Vix and Christine
Spengler Vix with two sisters, Dorothy C. Vix and Authemise Vix Hopkins, all deceased. He
attended St. John Lutheran School and Warren Easton Boys High School where he graduated
with honors and was awarded with a full scholarship to Tulane University. Four years later
he graduated with honors and a degree in Chemical Engineering. Though it was the
Depression, Henry was fortunate to find employment in the brewery industry and after time
was written up as the youngest brew master in America. To aid in the war effort, Henry was
given a position within the United States Department of Agriculture of the Southern
Regional Research Laboratory with the charge to find a way to make synthetic rubber.
Working long hours with his team members, he helped to achieve their goal. He did take a
few days off in September of 1942 to marry Dorothy Eckert. Since there was no Lutheran
Church in Metairie, Louisiana where they lived, in 1945 Henry and a few other men organized
Mt. Olive Lutheran Church (LCMS.) Henry worked on the original steering committee and over
the years held every office in the congregation. At the lab, Henry not only enjoyed the
challenge of guiding the research work of a large number of technicians, but also worked
closely with various industries, equipment manufacturers and institutions who were
interested in research of southern farm products. He eventually rose to Chief of the
Engineering and Development Lab until his retirement. He retired with 13 patents and over
100 publications in various technical and trade journals. After his retirement he accepted
an assignment to Israel to set up an oil-seed processing plant. He was there during the
time of the Yum Kippur War. In September, 1987, the family moved to Little Rock and joined
Christ Lutheran Church where Henry served as Elder and was an active member of the Prime
Timers. He has also spent his recent years working on projects to aid Christian education
at both Christ Lutheran School and High School. He is survived by his wife Dorothy,
children Karen Pingel and her husband Galen Pingel of Little Rock, Kerry Vix and his wife
Peggy of Atascadero, California; four grandchildren, Christopher Vix, Michael Vix, Beth
Lovins and her husband Ben, Everett Ellis and his wife Ginny; three great grandchildren,
