'Champ' Clark, Sr., 92, passed 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!

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.

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.

Times Picayune 06-25-2006 **************************************** 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.

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, Ashley and Amy Lovins and Camryn Ellis and a grand step-son Jon Pingel and his wife Beth and their children.
