000414	Jameson - On Friday, June 8, 2007 at her home in Arlington, VA, Paula Ann
Jameson, age 62, passed away after a 8 year battle with renal cancer. Ms. Jameson
was born in New Orleans, LA and was a graduate of Covington High School. She
graduated from LSU and received a law degree in 1969 from the University of Texas,
where she was one of only fifteen women in her graduating class accepting a law
degree. Paula was admired by many as a leader, as she went on to hold positions that
were not typically held by women. She began her career in the D.C. City Government
as an Assistant DA before moving to Fairfax County Attorney's Office where she
served 4 years as Senior Assistant County Attorney. In 1977 she joined Dow Jones in
New York where she became House Counsel and Director of the legal department. There
she helped launch the company's online publishing service and satellite distribution
for The Wall Street Journal and other media properties of Dow Jones. Ms. Jameson
left the publishing company in 1986 to work at the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting as Senior Vice President and General Counsel and Secretary of the
Corporation. There she directed legal, copyright, governmental affairs, regulatory
and labor relations for all PBS operations including production, acquisition and
distribution of its program services broadcast by 346 PBS stations. She also worked
diligently pursuing Congress for continued federal support when PBS funding was
under challenge in Congress. Recently PBS passed a Resolution acknowledging her
contributions to Public Broadcasting. After 10 years with PBS, she became a partner
at the Washington law firm of Arter & Hadden. In 2000, she left for Nashville to
work as Vice President and General counsel at Gibson Guitar Corp. Public service was
her joy and in 2003 she joined the Children's Defense Fund as Operations Manager and
served until her illness limited her mobility. The hub of a large circle of 300+
best friends, Ms. Jameson enjoyed cooking at her home for many friends. She loved
bringing people together and she stayed in contact with all her friends & family.
All who knew her loved her as she was a remarkable person. Her life can be
summarized by her favorite song, Louis Armstrong's 'What a Wonderful World'. Paula
is survived by her children Paul Andrew and Peter Jameson, and three siblings,
Richard Jameson (Mary), Jim Bailey (Lee), Linda Doucet (Larry). Relatives and
friends are invited to attend her burial ceremony at St. Louis Cemetery #3 at

000645	Perrett - Marvin James Perrett, proud New Orleanian and longtime writer and
public speaker on New Orleans history and the role of the Coast Guard in World War
II, died Sunday, May 6, 2007, in his home. He was 81. He is survived by his
daughter, Melissa Perrett Cook, son-in-law Edwin Cook, M.D., and grandchildren,
Lindsay Shepherd Cook and Andrew Haynes Cook of Chicago, IL. He was preceded in
death by his beloved wife of 53 years, Edith Shepherd Perrett. Mr. Perrett was born
and raised in New Orleans, where he attended St. Aloysius and Warren Easton High
School. During World War II, he served in the Coast Guard as coxswain of a New
Orleans-made Higgins landing craft. After the war he returned to New Orleans and a
successful career in insurance and real estate. In the 1980s he published two books
of poetry and photographs devoted to landmarks of his beloved New Orleans -
'Nostalgia: Lifestyles of Old New Orleans' and 'More Nostalgia.' In the course of
promoting his books and paying close attention to city landmarks past and present,
he realized that New Orleans lacked a suitable monument to shipbuilder Andrew
Jackson Higgins, and on November 26, 1986, he wrote a letter to Mayor Sidney
Barthelemy (followed by letters to various other politicians) to begin his efforts
to rectify this situation. His letter stated, in part:'I would hope some day to
visit an appropriate museum dedicated to Mr. Higgins, the men and women who built
the boats and those who served aboard the boats...Surely, there must be an old LCVP
(landing craft vehicle personnel) or a PT-Boat available somewhere. I have little
doubt that we could fill a room with supporting photographs, movie films, written
articles or borrowed data concerning any vessels on display...As a former Coxswain
of an LCVP and having participated in the D-Day landing at Normandy, Southern
France, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, I would welcome such a memorial to this part of New
Orleans' historical past. I was proud to have served aboard the U.S. Coast Guard
assault transport BAYFIELD that carried thirty of these landing craft on her decks
and davits...To think that these simple watercraft were made on City Park Avenue and
tested in the Industrial Canal and Lake Pontchartrain is still difficult to
conceive. And yet - they were seen and used all over the world, though departed New
Orleans by railroad flatcars. I would be pleased to assist in making this project a
reality...if you conclude it has merit.' In the course of his efforts, he met Dr.
Stephen Ambrose, located an operational LCVP and coordinated a simulation of the D-
Day invasion on Pontchartrain Beach for UNO'S Eisenhower Center on June 6, 1992, at
which event was announced the intention to build a D-Day Museum in New Orleans that
opened eight years later. The replica Higgins boat built for the museum bears the
numbers of the boat that he piloted at Normandy and lost at Iwo Jima, PA33-21. In
his final years, he traveled the world giving talks about the contributions of the
U.S. Coast Guard and the New Orleans-made Higgins boat to the success of World War
II. He also appeared in numerous documentaries, including 'Secrets of the Dead: D-
Day' and 'D-Day: A Call to Courage,' and returned to France in June 2004 as a guest
of the French government for the 60th anniversary of D-Day, where he was one of 100
U.S. veterans inducted into the French Legion of Honor with the rank of Chevalier.
He was a recipient of the Coast Guard's Distinguished Public Service Award, its
highest civilian honor, and was a member of the Coast Guard Combat Veterans
Association, the USS Bayfield Veterans Association and the Warren Easton Alumni Hall
of Fame. He was also a member of Munholland United Methodist Church and the St.
Martin's Episcopal School Dads' Club during his daughter's school years. He left his
family and friends a lifetime of colorful stories, the lesson of how much joy can be
added to life by talking to strangers and the lesson of D-Day itself -- that much
can be accomplished when lots of people work together on a common goal. All who are
fighting for the recovery of New Orleans should take inspiration from his lessons. A
Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, June 9, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. at the
NATIONAL WORLD WAR II MUSEUM, 945 Magazine Street. In lieu of flowers, donations
preferred to the Warren Easton Charter Foundation (P.O. Box 19500, New Orleans, LA

21, 1976, an eighth generation Lousianian, and passed away Tuesday, June 12, 2007at
WK Bossier Health Center following a sudden illness. He moved to Shreveport at age
2. Although he had lived in several other cities during his academic career, he
considered Shreveport his home and the place where he wished to settle. Larry
graduated from Louisiana School of Math, Science and the Arts in Natchitoches in
1994 and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from
Washington University in St. Louis in 1998. Following in his father's footsteps, he
attended Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans and received his
Medical Degree in 2002. He completed a general surgery internship at Tulane
University Heath Science Center and had recently completed a residency in
Ophthalmology at LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans. LSU/Ocshner Department of
Ophthalmology Residents Day Award will be named in memory of Larry. Throughout his
life Larry was known for his love of learning and inquiring mind. From his interests
in physics and cold fusion science fair experiment to his thirst for knowledge of
history, he sought to know more about a wide range of topics. He was an avid reader.
Whatever the topic--even the most esoteric--he always had something to add to the
conversation. His extraordinary mind was complemented by a sensitive artistic
nature. He loved music and was an accomplished model builder and a painter and was a
private pilot. Among his serious academic goals was his desire to continue his
education in the future and obtain a doctorate in history. All who knew Larry also
appreciated his loving spirit, fierce loyalty, wry wit and wonderful sense of humor.
Larry was excited about returning to Shreveport-Bossier to practice Ophthalmology
with his father. He was a terrific surgeon for his level of experience and an
outstanding Ophthalmology resident. No child was more devoted to family than was
Larry. Left behind to honor his memory are his loving parents, Dr. Thomas and Nancy
Planchard. He was big brother and best friend to his brothers, Dr. Brian Planchard,
a resident in Ophthalmology at LSU Health Science Center Shreveport, and Jeffrey,
who will be a first year medical student at Tulane Medical School in the fall, and
to his sister, Emily, a junior at Tulane University. He is also survived by his
uncles, Ira Herman, his wife Claire and their children, Lauren, Jessie, Aaron, and
Joseph, and Jerome Planchard, Ph.D., his wife, Jo Ann and their sons David and
Stephen. He was preceded in death by his adoring grandparents, Jacob and Bernice
Herman, and Jerome and Clara Planchard and cousin Robert Planchard. Throughout his
all-too-brief time on earth, Larry made many friends, all of whom will experience a
sense of emptiness with his passing. Pallbearers will be Vik Nijjar, M.D. of
Alexandria, David Planchard and Kevin Kuperman of Baton Rouge, James Hertz and Gary
Joiner of Shreveport , Darren Kottle of San Francisco, and Chuck Dugal, M.D. of
Sunset, LA. The family would like to thank all of those who made an extraordinary
effort to save Larry's life, Milon Karmakar, M.D., Thomas Smith, M.D., Ragu Nathan,
M.D., Louis Sazbo, M.D., Richard Keston, M.D., Bipin Turakhia, M.D., Irfan Alam,
