Her son Bruce Eugene Bernard and his spouse of 37 years, Susan Weaver Bernard; and their two children, Laurie Anne Bernard MD and Becky Gene Bernard, all of whom now reside in San Diego, CA, survive her. Marion and ""Gene'' W. Bernard were married in 1943 and they had many wonderful years together until Gene's death in 1972. Gene served in the U.S. Coast Guard and they were stationed in San Francisco Ca. They both yearned for their families and roots and returned to New Orleans immediately after Gene's discharge from the service. Marion was pre-deceased by her Father and Mother, Adolphe (1882-1/17/61) and Florence Hardy D'Aquin (8/27/81-11/14/55), and her brothers Hardy and Esler D'Aquin (07-90) and her sisters Florence Burglass Webb (3/3/ 11-12/23/80) and Lorraine D'Aquin (11/28/ 18-1/18/91). Marion was extremely proud to explain that she had traced D'Aquin roots back to Saint Thomas Aquinas in the 13th Century. The D'Aquin family resided on Desoto Street in New Orleans and Marion lived virtually her entire life near her beloved City Park. She was an officer of the Orleans Woman's Tennis Club and Court 1 was her home court! She had a Passion for dance. She and Gene participated actively in many dance and social groups, including, La Femme, OWTC, and YMCA. She literally danced until she fell, and then some. Marion's career was as the Public Stenographer of the Roosevelt Hotel, downtown New Orleans, for several decades. She seemed to know everyone who passed her desk, from the bellmen to the VIP Guests of the Hotel. Everyone was a friend. She retired to play tennis, dance and enjoy friends and family to the fullest. Marion and her life-long favorite cousin Juanita Guilliot were constant companions, never missing a dance, swim party or Mardi Gras Day. Although Alzheimer's began to take a toll on both, it didn't stop them from ""walking the Quarter'' and being on the "Second Line' during Mardi gras, well into their eighties! In her later years, Marion developed a wonderful and close friendship with Mr. Angelo Melito of the Garden District. They were dance and party companions, and he cared for many of her needs. As Marion's fierce independence began slipping, another special group of People emerged and provided her with unbelievably loving and tender care. These People are Betty Landreaux, Doris LaMark, JoeAnn Adams, Sharon Relyveld, Betty Doiron, Brenda Davis, Mary and Maria Elena Perez. Doris, as lead caregiver, was Mother, daughter, sister and friend to Marion. All caregivers are remembered, cherished and appreciated for their unselfish gift of love, fullness of life and tender care to Marion. Fate placed Marion in the path of Hurricane Katrina during her last days. She went missing for about 10 days following evacuation. Her family's intensive search to bring her home resulted in an amazing group of People coming together to find her. In a final and fitting tribute to Marion, these special People worked tirelessly, even though many had only met her in spirit. Their efforts were miraculous and successful, and allowed Bruce and Doris to spend final days with Marion before her weakened heart failed. ""Marion's Fans'' included Laurie, Becky, Judy, Susan, Tom, Jim, Rene, Jo, Nancy, Kristen, Yolanda, Tami, Caroline, Krista, Larry, Kitty and Mike. Their names are now intertwined with Marion's, and her spirit lives on through them. Marion is coming home now, and she will be interred with Gene Bernard at The Hope Mausoleum. Services will be at Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home, 4747 Veterans Blvd. at 9:00AM on Monday, November 7, 2005. Followed by interment and celebration at Hope Mausoleum, 4841 Canal Street.

Scott Chotin, Sr., a legend on the Mississippi River, died Monday, November 21, 2005 at Touro Infirmary in New Orleans. He was 89 years old. Inducted into the National Rivers Hall of Fame in Dubuque, Iowa, in 1986, he was also, the recipient of the 2002 Seamen's Church Institute Lifetime Achievement Award. When the Seaman's church honored him the Executive Director introduced him fittingly as a "man Mark Twain would instantly recognize and appreciate". In addition, he was the subject of a book titled ""100 Years on the River; The Chotin Family and Their Boats.'' Capt. Chotin began his career on the river when he was ten years old, trimming the window panes of his father's boats during breaks from school. He graduated from Alcee Fortier High School at 17, began working full time as a steersman on the Str. J.N. Pharr, running from New Orleans to Monroe, LA on the Ouachita River. He was a veteran pilot by the time he was 24. At one point, he and his father, Capt. Joe, had the distinction of being the youngest and oldest licensed pilots on the river. Together, their life's work spanned nearly a century on the waterways, first in the bayous of south Louisiana, and eventually the Mississippi River and practically all of it tributaries. In 1936 while aboard the second Str. J.N. Pharr the vessel was overturned by a tornado near Paducah, Ky. Five men were drowned; the Chotins and several others were spared. Along with a series contracts with Standard Oil Company in the 1930s and the many innovations he developed, Chotin Transportation, Inc. was launched on its path to success propelling it into one of the largest independent carriers of refined products in the nation. Truly a pioneer, he developed the insulated and heated asphalt barge. These double-skinned barges were developed to keep asphalt in a semi-liquid form allowing easier unloading. Captain Chotin was among the first to operate these barges. He was instrumental in developing the concept of integrated tows with long-raked, high speed-lead barges and is credited with helping General Motors engineer its marine diesel engines. He was among the first to install automatic pilots on boats' steering systems and was the first to experiment with bow thrusters. He also designed and built the first vinyl chloride barge as well as developing independently controlled flanking and steering rudders. When his father died in 1970, Capt. Chotin merged the company with Eastern Gas and Fuel Associates. Chotin Transportation then owned 13 towboats and 166 barges, hailed to be the most modern fleet on the river. It remained as a wholly owned subsidiary with Capt. Scott as it's president. Ever enterprising though, he started another company called Canal- River Towing Ltd., which was run by his son Scott Jr. and former Chotin employee Lynn Sherill. Later the company merged into Scott Chotin, Inc. It prospered, owing 8 towboats and 26 tank barges before being sold to Kirby Corporation in 1992. Revered for his revolutionary engineering accomplishments and knowledge of boat and barge design, Capt. Chotin's advice was sought out by many long after retirement. In 2003, he passed the rigid U.S. Coast Guard exam for his Master's license, which was renewed for the 15th consecutive time, making him one of the oldest licensed masters in the United States. He was a founding member of the American Waterways Operators, Inc., a member of the National Waterways Conference, Gulf Intracoastal Canal Association, Marine Transportation Council, the Propellor Club, Plimsoll Club, the International House, Southern Yacht Club, New Orleans Country Club and the Ft. Lauderdale Yacht Club. He was preceded in death by his wife of 66 years Patricia Carter Chotin. He is survived by four children Linda Chotin Prillaman of Metairie, LA, Patsy Chotin Perry of Vienna, OH, Joey Chotin Porche Metairie, LA and Scott Chotin, Jr. of Lacombe, LA; Sons-in-law Donald Prillman, George Perry, Earle Porche; 8 grandchildren: Ashley Burke Ulstein, David Leche, Chris Naquin, Melissa Naquin Scandaliato, Allison Chotin Peace, Rachel Chotin, Carter Chotin, Hannah Chotin and six great-grandchildren.

Times Picayune 11-16-2005 **************************************** 000227 Craighead - Claude Claiborne Craighead, Jr., M.D. was born on August 30, 1914 in Shreveport, Louisiana. He usually identified his birthplace as Athens, LA, where he spent his youth, because he liked the foreign implications in the name. He died in New Orleans, LA on Sunday, November 6, 2005 at 8:18 p.m. The 818 has a mystical significance in the family, which is appropriate for him since his comments about surgical problems and other things often had a mysterious and mystical connotation not understood by those unfamiliar with his approach. His thought processes were often three of four steps ahead of everyone else and his brevity of expression made the leaps in thought even more confusing to newcomers. He was a consummate surgeon with one on the largest surgical practices in New Orleans, based upon his outstanding anatomical knowledge, familiarity with a wide variety of surgical approaches to almost any problem and a thorough background in the surgical history of both common and unusual surgical events. Together this made him a favorite of younger surgeons who considered him ""a living icon to generations of LSU trained surgeons.'' Claude was one of the first to enter the newly opened LSU School of Medicine and graduated in 1939. He was associated with the Medical School in some capacity for the remainder of his life, clearly making him the individual with the longest ever affiliation with the Medical School. He interned on the LSU Service at Charity Hospital, continued his surgical training there, until he was called to active military duty in November 1940. He was discharged from the service as a Major in November 1945 after serving in Ireland, England, France and Germany. He was awarded the American Defense Service Medal and the European African Eastern Campaign Medal. Surgical training was then completed on the LSU Service at Charity Hospital. He joined the faculty as a Clinical Instructor in Surgery in 1949, rose through the ranks to the title of Clinical Professor of Surgery in 1968 and finally joined the full-time faculty in 1984 as Professor of Surgery, a title he retained for the remainder of his life. At various times he was associated with or actually headed almost every branch of surgery within the Department of Surgery, including general surgery, pediatric surgery, fracture service, vascular surgery, thoracic surgery, and cardiac surgery. He was President of the LSU Medical Alumni Association three times, and was the only individual to receive its outstanding alumnus award on two occasions. His major contributions to the Medical School were his continuing devotion to the Department of Surgery, which is many ways reflected his teachings. He was one of the founding members and early Presidents of the James D. Rives Surgical Society, an organization founded in honor of a previous Head of the Department. The Claude C. Craighead Chair in Thoracic Surgery was established by the Rives Society in 1994 and the Craighead Lectureship was initiated in 2001. Dr. Craighead belonged to the Southern Surgical Association, the Southern Thoracic Surgical Association, the American Board of Surgery, the American College of Surgeons, the Southeastern Surgical Congress, Orleans Parish and the Louisiana State Medical Societies. He was on the staff at Touro Infirmary, Charity Hospital, and Hotel Dieu. He was listed in Strathmore's Who's Who and the American Registry of Outstainding Professionals. He was the beloved husband of Zeneyda Guillen Craighead, whom he first met because of his intense interest in foreign languages; father of Mary Craighead, Dr. C. Clay Craighead III, Ann Craighead-Giambelluca, John Esquivel and Ericka Voiret; grandfather of Jonathan, Christopher, Jamie, Jessie, Casey, Joshua, Tyler and Dianna. He was the son of the late Dr. Claude C. Craighead, Sr. and Elizabeth Linley Craighead; brother of Mary Whittaker and the late Jean Shaw; father-in-law of Johanne Craighead, Vicki Esquivel and Donnie Voiret; and special friend of Lil Samardzija and Cecile and Mitchell Esteen.

It was at the First Methodist Church in New Iberia where she spent some of her most precious time. She loved to needlepoint, correspond with friends, and was a voracious reader.

She was 80. Mrs. Rayne, affectionately known to her family and friends as "Liz," was born on December 8th, 1924, in McLain, Mississippi, and was raised in the embrace of that small town environment that would forge the value system that guided her life. Always a staunch advocate on behalf of children, Mrs. Rayne began her long career in social work as a child welfare worker for the State of Mississippi. She went on to earn a Master of Social Work degree from Indiana University, returning to Mississippi to become a child welfare supervisor, and, later, supervisor of field worker training. In 1962, Mrs. Rayne came to New Orleans, the city that would henceforth be her home, to continue her training at Tulane's School of Social Work. In recognition of her extraordinary potential, she was appointed to the position of field instructor by the Dean of the School, and was charged to design and administrate the Field Training Center at Kingsley House, which she ran for several years. In the 1970's, Mrs. Rayne began the side-by-side pathway that would be the hallmarks of the rest of her distinguished career, a combination of teaching on Tulane's faculty along with the development of a private practice devoted to family, marital, and individual therapy. In full knowledge that her private practice experience would serve to inform her teaching career, she became an ardent lifelong student of the most current and advanced theories and techniques in therapeutic family intervention. As her many students would readily attest, she voraciously devoured every literary source that might serve to enhance her understanding of the complexities of her field. In the process, she amassed a peerless library of family therapy texts that was a continuing resource for her colleagues as well as her students. Mrs. Rayne designed the family theory course for the clinical doctoral program at Tulane. She joined with her late husband, Ray Rayne, in making a special bequest to the school, earmarked for the purchase of critically needed audio-visual teaching aids. In recognition of her long history of devotion to education, and her beloved status among students, the Board of Tulane's School of Social Work voted to present Mrs. Rayne a "Distinguished Teaching Award" at homecoming ceremonies in 1993. Elizabeth Rayne's wisdom, her selfless devotion to the welfare of others, her wit, and the warmth of any environment she inhabited made for a host of admirers for whom the prospect of life without her physical presence seems bleak. Fortunately, as is the case with all great teachers, a part of her will live on in all she so graciously touched. Mrs. Rayne is survived by her devoted and loving twin sister, Florence Webster, of Long Beach, Mississippi, and by her sister-in-law, Yvette Thompson, of Shreveport, Louisiana. A memorial mass for Mrs. Rayne will be held in Shreveport on Monday, November 28th at 2:00 P.M. in the chapel of the St. John Berchman Cathedral, followed by cremation of her remains. A memorial service and tribute in New Orleans is being planned for an appropriate date in the near future.

Survivors also include his beloved mother, Yvonne Davilla Treadway; two sisters, Joan Dietel and Julie Diecidue; and a niece, Carly Diecidue. Preceded in death by his father, Dr. James Louis Treadway, Jr. Dr. Treadway is sorely missed by his brothers and sisters-in-law and a host of devoted friends. Dr. Arthur A. Caire III, MD was Dr. Treadway's late father-in-law. His four brothers-in-law are Gary Diecidue and William Dietel both of New Orleans, LA, Arthur A. Caire IV, MD of Slidell, LA and Michael Jordan Caire, MD of West Monroe, LA. His sisters-in-law are Agna Caire of Slidell, LA and Elsa Caire Wolfe, MD of Charleston, South Carolina. He is missed also by his mother-in- law, Mrs. Arthur A. Caire III. A native and lifelong resident of New Orelans, LA, Dr. Treadway graduated from Jesuit High School in 1965. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Biology from Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge, Dr. Treadway received his M.D. degree from Louisiana State University Medical School in 1973. Following in the footsteps of his pediatrician father, ""Dr. Kent,'' as he was known to his patients, practiced general pediatrics in uptown New Orleans from 1976 until his untimely demise. The greatest joy in Dr. Kent's life, next to his family, was the privilege of contributing to the well-being of his patients and watching them grow from infancy to young adulthood. Many families in his practice were fourth- generation offspring of original patients of the Treadway practice. Dr. Kent's life was energetically devoted to the welfare of the children of the Crescent City. He was a member of the medical staffs of Touro, East Jefferson, Lakeside, Ochsner, Children's and Memorial (formerly Baptist) Hospitals. His civic responsibilities included serving as President and member of Associated Catholic Charities Day Care Board, President of the Greater New Orleans Pediatric Society, member of the Executive Committee of Baptist and Memorial Hospitals, Chariman of the Pediatrics Department of Baptist and Memorial Hospitals, Executive Board Member of Memorial Hospital, and member of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Dr. Treadway was sincerely honored to have been included in the roster of ""Best Pediatricians'' in both New Orleans and Gambit magazines for many years. Dr. Treadway loved New Orleans, its people, and its culture. He was a member of the Southern Yacht Club and several Carnival Clubs, including Dorians, Harlequins, Olympians, and Prophets of Persia. He was District Chariman of the Audubon Division of the Boy Scouts of America. Also to his credit, Dr. Treadway had an expert knowledge of Louisiana history, of its Native American populations and cultures, and of its natural beauty. In general, Dr. Kent truly loved life and was renowned for his unique sense of humor. Annually, he wore a satirical Mardi Gras costume dealing with a topical issue of the times. Newscasters recognized this unique ability and frequently featured him on their Mardi Gras Day newscasts. All who knew him were enriched by his kindness, generosity, congeniality, intellect and humor. Those of us whose lives he touched are fortunate for the memories of such a fine gentleman. Because of challenges to our fair city's resources resulting from Hurricane Katrina, Dr. Treadway's services and interment will occur on separate days. Friends and family may call between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. at Leitz-Eagan Funeral Home in Jefferson Parish, 4747 Veterans Memorial Boulevard, Metairie, LA on Tuesday, November 22, 2005.
