Walter was born in Elizabeth, Louisiana on April 29, 1921 to the union of the late Elwell McCollum and Annie Mae Furlow McCollum. The fruit of this union brought forth two sons, John Percy - the elder and Walter. Walter's early education was obtained in Elizabeth, LA. He played baseball in the Negro League and as a young man moved to Florida to be with his mother. Baseball was a life long passion of his. He could be found in his favorite recliner watching baseball games for hours. He never tired of it and baseball kept him company through the long hours he spent in the hospital during his illness. He earned his high school diploma and further studied in the United States Army. Upon entering the Armed Forces in 1940, he continued to pursue his formal education. He rose to the rank of Master Sergeant during his tenure in the United States Army. He was sent to Korea in July of 1950 and shipped directly to the front lines. He was wounded soon after he arrived to the battlefield for which he received a Purple Heart. After a short convalescence, Walter was sent back to the battlefield. He was captured in November of 1950 and spent two years and four months as a prisoner of war. Upon his release in April of 1953, and return to Valley Forge Army Hospital, Walter weighed less than 135 pounds. He received the following medals for his service to his country: Purple Heart, Prisoner-of-War Medal, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal and the United Nations Service Medal. Walter was interviewed and highlighted in a Life Magazine article, May 25, 1953 entitled, 'Valley Forge GI's Tell of Their Brainwashing Ordeal.' Walter met Helen Ruth Lofton in the small community of Elizabeth, LA in 1943 at a familiar Sunday spot, the Santa Fe Depot. Walter was returning to Camp Claiborne, LA after completing a weekend pass visiting his father and brother. Helen was taking her mother, Lillie Lofton, to the train station after a visit with Helen's older sister, Ella. From that point on their 'life long love affair' began. Walter and Helen nurtured their relationship communication through letters when he was sent to the South Pacific. When he returned to the United States in 1945, he found Helen living in Oakdale, LA with her mother. Walter and Helen were married on January 12, 1946. They were blessed with two daughters, Helen Faye and Sharon Ann. Walter retired from the International Longshoreman's Association 3000 after twenty-seven years working on the docks in New Orleans, Louisiana. Following his retirement, Walter dedicated his life to becoming an active member of Bethany United Methodist Church for 26 years. Walter served as a member of the Church Council, Transportation Committee and the United Methodist Men. What he enjoyed the most was serving and helping in the church's nursery--particularly the kitchen where he would get a great meal. He was an active member of the American Association of Retired Persons 4550. Walter McCollum was a devoted family man. He was preceded in death by his father, Elwell McCollum; his mother, Annie Mae Furlow McCollum; his brother, John Percy McCollum; and his sister, Margaret Brooks. Walter is survived by his wife Helen; two daughters, Helen Faye and Sharon Ann; a grandson, Alvin Lee Daniels, Jr.; three sisters-in- law: Melder Aikens of Denver, Colorado, Ollie Lee Gaines of Oakdale, LA and Hazel Lee McCollum of Columbia, Mississippi; and a host of nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, cousins and friends. He has one surviving brother-in-law, Simpson Aikens of Denver, Colorado.

He had been living at St. James Place near family in Baton Rouge since being displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Though he lost much in the flood, he died surrounded by all the things important to him: his family, his friends, and his memories of a life lived with fullness, with color, and with classic New Orleans style. Al was born in the city's Irish Channel on July 31, 1928, the seventh of eight children of Tom and Annie McCrossen. He attended Redemptorist and Holy Cross schools in his youth. In 1950 he married Lark Anne Moore. After serving in the Korean War, Al and Lark settled down to raise their five daughters, living in Algiers and later in Metairie. Al's business career was based in medical sales. Over those years he worked for Bausch and Lomb, Alcon Laboratories, Storz Medical, and JedMed Instruments Inc, finally retiring in 1997. His career was remarkable for both professional accomplishments and the friendships made in both the medical and sales communities alike. Al's passion, though, was in playing music. Receiving his first trumpet as a child, he often told of learning to play along as his mother, Annie, sang songs with the radio. Developing his musical ear at such an early age led to a lifetime of playing in and around the city of New Orleans, many of those years with his band, The Satisfiers. Known by musicians as a weekend warrior, he was booked solid for local weddings, dances and events for over three decades. His 'soft horn' style was shaped by the influences of the big bands, the classics of the 40's, early childhood memories of New Orleans Jazz funerals in his neighborhood, and Sr. Basil at Redemptorist who scolded repeatedly, 'you play a horn, you don't blow it!' In June 2003 he was inducted into the Louisiana Musician's Hall of Fame. In all that he did, Al is remembered for his sense of humor, his quick smile, his lasting friendships, and his ability to tell stories of the 'old neighborhood' and the people he connected to, unique to the culture of New Orleans. He often stated he was the luckiest man alive. He was preceded in death by his wife Lark in 2001. He is survived by his five daughters: Maureen M. Richard, Sheila M. and Bud Henriksen, Peggy M. and Michael Verret, Bonnie E. McCrossen, and Shaun M. and Kevin Kemmerly, 14 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren, the youngest of which he called baby 'Annie', born just six weeks ago. He is also missed by many nieces, nephews and relatives.

Schenker, 80, died peacefully on April 3, 2006, in Burlington, Vt., with his daughter, Sammie, at his bedside. Born in Paterson, N.J. on August 14, 1925, he became the second of three architects in the Schenker family. He attended The Art Students League and N.Y.U. in 1941-42 and graduated from Columbia University's School of Architecture in 1947, worked in the New York City offices of Zareh Sourian and Percival Goodman, and in Houston, Denver and Corpus Christi before moving to New Orleans in 1953, where he began his 36-year teaching career at Tulane University. Professor Schenker's specialties were First and Fifth Year Theory & Design and the History of Modern Architecture. His aesthetic and thinking were influenced by the early pioneers of design Richardson, Sullivan and Wright of the Chicago School and Prairie Style; the Bauhaus emigres Gropius, Breuer, van der Rohe; and the Brutalist, Louis Kahn, with whom he became acquainted as guest lecturer at Tulane. In the 1960s he began a small private practice, designing lakefront and uptown homes, downtown offices, the defunct 'Ched's Lounge' on Canal Street and smaller 'Ched's 1-2-3' Club near the Orpheum Theatre, and the Emil W. Leipziger Auditorium for Touro Synagogue in the Garden District. In the 1970s he participated in the remodeling of Tulane's Richardson School of Architecture, served as Chairman on the Tenure Committee, and as a panelist for the N.E.H. He retired from teaching and practicing in 1989. Professor Schenker was known for his sardonic wit and keen intellect, his passion for history, old films and documentaries. He found pleasure in the writings of Ayn Rand, the music of Mendelsohn and the art of Klimt, Klee and Modigliani. He made satirical drawings, pursued the stock market, politics and philosophy, and shared with his family, a profound love of animals. Two weeks after his 80th birthday and the night before Katrina struck, his daughter, Sammie, who was visiting, helped evacuate her parents and dog by car from Louisiana to Vermont. They learned the breech of the canals and levees had flooded their Jefferson Parish neighborhood and left their home of 50 years unlivable. The trip and months following the storm added to Professor Schenker's already declining health. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Dorothy Estelle Phillips, of San Antonio; his daughter, Sammie, son-in-law, Alan Friedman, and grandson, Ari, of Burlington; his remaining brother, Jack Schenker, of Sussex, N.J., other family in New Jersey, Texas and Georgia; Tulane students, colleagues and friends, and his rescue Basset, 'Chester D. Hound.' Professor Schenker's wishes were privately observed. His daughter hopes to return to New Orleans to arrange a memorial at Tulane.

Within 30 minutes a wall of water engulfed her home taking the life of one of the most healthy and vibrant women on earth. Mary Ann was preceded in death by her parents Charles and Julia Pereira Berlier, and her husband Vincent Charles (Charlie) Trentecosta, and is survived by daughter Charlene, sons Guy and Mark, granddaughters Kristyn, Lindsay and Marcy, great-grandsons Kyle and since born Kayne, and countless friends and family members who still cannot believe she is gone. Mary Ann was born in New Orleans, raised in the Lower 9th Ward, worked as a clerk/typist for the Navy in World War II and after her 1947 marriage became a full-time mom and homemaker as a resident of Chalmette. With her innate flair for fashion she later operated her women's clothing store, Purrfect Fashions, but over the last two decades she was a commercial business owner in St Bernard Parish renting space to Pancho's and other local businesses. Vivacious and full of life Mary Ann adored Mardi Gras and so enjoyed the excitement of her float-riding years with the Krewe of Pandora. She looked forward to monthly luncheons and class reunions with her 1945 Maumus High School graduates who have remained close over the years. Mary Ann was a positive, energetic person always inspiring others to have fun and to see the bright side of every situation. She was strong-willed but a thoughtful woman, a doer of good deeds, one of the least envious humans of her day. She loved to dance, bargain shop, frequent the French Quarter, decorate for holidays, play roulette, fly to Vegas and had a lifelong affection for cats. She had become quite the amateur photographer for all events and her faithfully sent pictures are the reason everyone involved has these memories documented. Mary Ann also enjoyed clipping articles and mailing them to friends and family of whom they reminded her. Her recently purchased and renovated home gave her great happiness as did her love for gardening having inspired a yard resembling a rainforest. Her greatest pride was not just being a Mommie, but being a Grammie and Great-Grammie which filled her heart with love and joy. Mary Ann was a very privately spiritual woman who had no fear of leaving this life but awaited the journey of soaring to gardens far, deep and wide watching over each of us, never leaving our side. She was the kind of person you do not forget, and never will. A special thanks to the chaplains of the Victim Relief Ministries whose donated time of love and concern were immeasurable to those of us who lost our loved ones in Katrina. A memorial donation may be made in honor of Mary Ann's life to Victim Relief, 5351 Catron, Dallas, TX 75227 or jitterbug to Fats Domino!
