professional baseball!' The Spalding-Reach Baseball Guide exclaimed Lawson as
having 'had the best won and lost percentage of .812 for a total of 26 games won
and 6 lost.' His baseball career included tours of duty with Savannah Indians,
Atlanta Crackers, and his beloved hometown New Orleans Pelicans of the Southern
Association. The southpaw saw his professional career come to an end as a result
of an arm injury. He was inducted into the Diamond Club of Greater New Orleans
'Hall of Fame' in 1987. Mr. Lawson was born in New Orleans, LA and lived in
Westwego, LA for 80 years. After baseball, he followed in his dad's steps as a

000206	Martin - William Richard Martin, born January 14, 1932 in San Pedro de
Macoris, Dominican Republic, into a French Louisiana family originally from St.
Mary Parish, and later raised in Haiti, died at the age of 74 at his post-Katrina
home in New Orleans, of cancer and exhaustion from Katrina upheaval. A resident of
New Orleans for 56 years, he came into this country to attend LSU, and served in
the U.S. Army Infantry. A lover of horses, he met his future wife, Janet Sitges,
during a summer break riding at the Audubon Stables in New Orleans. His only
child, Laura, arrived in 1958 and a law degree from Tulane came soon after.
Highlights of his legal career included protocol work at the International House
touring prominent Americans, including Nelson D. Rockefeller, III, through Central
America, an Assistant District Attorneyship under Jim Garrison during the Kennedy
assassination case, and an independent consultorship with the last sitting
colonial government of British Honduras (now Belize) before independence. His many
interests throughout an exotic life, besides horseback riding, were Scuba diving
and twin-engine flying, and with retirement came an interest in mentoring young
people with substance abuse problems. A second career found him working at City
Hall as a housing inspector, and despite extensive illness and a tortuous
evacuation, his soul was filled with purpose after Katrina, hoping to be a part of
the rebuilding of his beloved adoptive home town. With the many City Hall layoffs,
however, it was not to be. Mr. Martin is predeceased by his parents, Lillian
Richard and William J. Martin, a sister, Lolita M. Robinson, ex-wife, Janet Sitges
Swanzy, and ex-in-laws, Percy and Stella Sitges. He is survived by his daughter

000278	Myers - Marion Tama Rieras Myers November 23, 1916 to December 21, 2006
Marion Tama Rieras Myers, who was for many years an elementary school teacher in
New Orleans and Slidell, Louisiana , and Baltimore and Bowie, Maryland , passed
December 21 of complications of Alzheimer's disease. She had recently celebrated
her 90th birthday at her residence at Maplewood Park Place Senior Living Community
in Bethesda, Maryland. Mrs. Myers was an honor graduate of Xavier University in
New Orleans where she was a charter member of Beta Phi Chapter of Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority, 1938. She pursued graduate studies at the University of Maryland
at College Park . She taught first and second grade at the Cherry Hill Elementary
School in Baltimore from the early 1950s until she moved to Prince Georges County
Public Schools in 1967. She resigned from her teaching position to fulfill the
supportive, albeit unsalaried, position of First Lady to her husband, Dr. Samuel
L. Myers, who was President of what is now Bowie State University. Dr. Myers
credits her warm rapport with the Bowie students who closed down the college
during the student protest of 1967 as the contributing factor in the students'
embracing the President as their hero. Mrs. Myers performed a similar supportive
role to her husband during his eighteen years as President of the National
Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO), the association of
117 Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Whether meeting with heads of
state on delegations of the International Association of University Presidents and
with dignitaries such as Nelson Mandela as a member of a NAFEO delegation or with
a poor family in Madras, India whom she assisted, via education, to rise from the
lowest caste to a position of economic comfort, Marion Myers was notable for
consistently being authentic and unpretentious, kind and sensitive, loyal and
supportive. Marion Tama Rieras Myers was born on November 23, 1916 in New Orleans,
Louisiana to Eva Dupre and George Rieras, pioneers in the Knights and Ladies of
Peter Claver. Her father was a founding editor of the national magazine, Claverite
and her mother was a charter member of the Ladies Auxiliary. She attended St. Joan
of Arc School in New Orleans and majored in Latin at Xavier University of
Louisiana, where she was member of the varsity track team. She was an avid
contract bridge player, a devoted member of the Northwest Child Study Group in
Baltimore, a life-time member (Golden Soror) of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Iota
Gamma Omega chapter, Prince George's County, and a dedicated Archousa of Gamma
Boule of Sigma Phi Fraternity. She was a frequent visitor to St. Peter Claver
Church in St. Paul, Minnesota . Last rights were administered by Father Kevin
McDonough, pastor of St. Peter Claver and Vicar General of the Archdiocese of St.
Paul and Minneapolis. She is survived by her husband of sixty-three years, Dr.
Samuel L. Myers, Sr. Also by two daughters, Dr. Yvette Marion Myers, a
psychologist in Durham, North Carolina; and Judge Tama Myers Clark, Pennsylvania
State Trial Court; and a son, Dr. Samuel L. Myers, Jr., Roy Wilkins Professor of
Human Relations and Social Justice, Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs,
University of Minnesota. She also leaves two granddaughters, Andrea and Angela
Myers; son-in-law, Peter Clark; daughter-in-law Dr. Sheila Ards; an attentive
niece, Jacquelyn Costa Horsey and family; a brother, George Rieras and family;
cousin, Vivian Upshaw and family, and many other relatives. Memorial Services will

000441	Slater - Harry A. Slater died Tuesday, December 19, 2006. Little did Rose
and Julius Slater know that when Rose gave birth to Harry A. Slater 88 years ago
in Boston, MA - that they had created a hero, a comedian, a husband, a father, a
World War II veteran and an avid sports fan all rolled into one impressive
package. More often than not - within the first few moments of meeting Harry A.
Slater - you would be laughing. Harry charmed our world with his quick wit, sense
of humor, compassion, Velcro shoes and love for his family and the Boston Red Sox.
While originals are hard to come by - they are easy to spot and Harry was an
original. His future bride, Shirley S. Slater, was quick to fall for this amazing
man at a dance nearly 64 years ago and that's when their love for each other began
- with ice cream cones, street car rides, roses and magic. Their love introduced
three beautiful children to this world - Madelene, Rickie and Larry. While we will
no longer hear his jokes, his songs or his kind words, Harry A. Slater will
forever be in our hearts and watching over us. He never felt sorry for himself,
had a feistiness that was contagious and a love for his family that would never
quit. Right now he's in Heaven sitting on a swing, singing his songs while doing a
little off-track betting...and probably telling God a joke or two. Harry A. Slater
is survived by his cutie pie wife- Shirley S. Slater; daughters Madelene 'Honey'
Edelman of New Orleans, LA ; Rickie 'Bunny' Charvat of Atlanta, GA and son Larry
Slater of St. Louis, MO; his sister Ray Levy; his grandchildren Julie Hernandez,
Ross Edelman, Paige Edelman, Blake Charvat, Courtney Charvat, Sean Staggs and
Chelsey Slater; his great grandson Tyler Hernandez. Lastly, he is survived by his
beautiful 1979 Corsica. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend

000888	Kelley - Charles Kelley, a native of Detroit, Michigan, grew up in Piggott,
Arkansas. As a young boy he began working in a local hardware store to help
support his family and, then in 1940, he moved to San Antonio, Texas as an office
worker with Graham Paper Company. There he met and in 1942 married Doris Weisiger,
who was office secretary at the First Baptist Church, San Antonio, TX. Kelley
later served in the Army Air Corps as a pilot doing troop transports in the
southwest Pacific during World War II. He was among the first of his group to
return to the United States near the end of the war due to the point system. He
was sent home because he had a wife, a child, and a large number of missions he
had flown. Kelley received orders after his leave to report to Hondo, Texas which
was near San Antonio. A few months later he was discharged in 1945. He returned to
his job at Graham Paper Company in San Antonio. A few months after his second
child was born, the Hixson family of Lake Charles, Louisiana invited him to move
there to work in their funeral home. They told Kelley they would buy another
funeral home if he liked the business and promised to make him the managing
partner of that business. They also told him that some day he could buy all of it.
They kept their word. Kelley did enjoy the funeral business and the Hixsons made
it possible for him to attend Landig College of Mortuary Science in Houston,
Texas. He served as treasurer for his class and graduated in 1948. The Hixson
Family of Louisiana bought Roberts Undertaking Company in June of 1949. Kelley was
then named managing partner. A short time later they bought Pipkin-Brulin Funeral
Home, so they were able to merge two of Beaumont's oldest funeral homes. Kelley
was then named managing partner of Roberts and Pipkin-Brulin Funeral Home, which
became Kelley-Hixson Funeral Home in 1962. By 1965, Kelley became the sole owner
of what was then the Golden Triangle's largest single funeral firm, operating an
ambulance, including air service, as well. Kelley always showed great ingenuity
and creativity in his business. When he and the Hixsons built the new facility,
they designed the building to resemble a gracious residence like the other Hixson
Funeral Homes in Louisiana. He was a pioneer in advertising for funeral directors.
He was one of the first to use color in print ads, and to advertise on television,
often appearing in his own TV spots. A funeral director in Beaumont for more than
42 years, Kelley devoted himself to making the hardest of times easier for
grieving families. His compassionate, caring manner brought solace to many and
earned him the respect of his peers and the gratitude of the residents of the
Golden Triangle. During his tenure as manager, then partner, and finally owner,
Kelley-Hixson Funeral Home became the leading funeral home in the area. Charles
Kelley added to the full-service Funeral Home a cemetery (Haven of Rest), located
five miles west of Beaumont at Green Pond Road and U.S. 90, and even a
crematorium, the first in that area. Kelley served as President and Treasurer and
in other positions of leadership for the Preferred Funeral Directors,
International, and served on the Board of Directors of the Funeral Directors and
Embalmers of Texas. He received the prestigious Texas Funeral Directors
Association Distinguished Service Award for 1983. Kelley always maintained that
'Funeral directors are like ministers. Only the role of a funeral director is not
that of a talker, but that of a listener. The function of a funeral director is to
provide the time, place, and atmosphere for grieving families and friends to come
together and share their grief. . . . We deal with the living. At these times,
they're hurting, and we can relieve the hurt by providing good service and care.'
When Kelley retired in 1991, he sold the family business to Frank Watkins, a 23-
year veteran of the funeral business. Watkins later sold the business to the
Claybar family of Orange, Texas who have continued the tradition of family-
operated service. Kelley was active in the Lions' Club, the Beaumont Knife and
Fork Club, the Chamber of Commerce, and he served as President of the Marshall
Junior High School P. T. A. in Beaumont. He was an active member of the First
Baptist Church of First Baptist Church for a half century, during which time he
served as chairman of the deacons, Sunday School teacher, and in leadership
positions as a member of many committees. Kelley also was one of the founding
partners in Wildwood Resort City, located 34 miles north of Beaumont on U.S. 69.
Beginning in 1963, the partners developed 1,800 acres of woodland and built a man-
made lake. They sold the property in 1974. While a member of the Board of Trustees
of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Charles Kelley, together with his wife
Doris, made the largest pledge ever to Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary for
the seminary's capital campaign. Their pledge of $100,000 was to be paid upon sale
of a piece of investment property, but the Kelleys decided that they wanted to
encourage other members of the Board and friends of the seminary to support the
seminary during the period they were without a president. They completed that
pledge far ahead of schedule. Charles Kelley is survived by his wife of 64 years
and by their five children. Their daughter, Dorothy, is the wife of Dr. Paige
Patterson, President of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort
Worth, Texas; Kathy Kelley is the librarian at an elementary school in Las Vegas,
Nevada; Charlene Kelley is a registered nurse in Fort Worth, Texas; Charles S.
(Chuck) Kelley, Jr., is President of the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary
and resides with his wife, Rhonda, in New Orleans, Louisiana; and Eileen Kelley
Turrentine is the wife of Steve Turrentine, Pastor of Pikes Peak Park Baptist
Church, Colorado Springs, Colorado. Kelley is also survived by 8 grandchildren
(Armour Patterson is a free-lance author living with his wife in Arizona; Carmen
Patterson Howell is the wife of the Pastor of Northwest Baptist Church living in
Houston, Texas with her family; Beth Kaemmerling is on the staff of Guidestone
Resources in Dallas, Texas; Angie Kaemmerling Brock and her family reside in
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; Kelley Kaemmerling Wagner resides with her family in
Farmersville, Texas; Perry Kaemmerling is a fireman in Waxahachie, Texas; Claire
Kaemmerling and Sarah Turrentine are pursuing baccalaureate degrees); and 9 great-
grandchildren. 'In addition to being a fabulous father, Dad was the quintessential
local churchman. He was the deacon that every pastor wishes he had. His devotion
extended beyond the local church to the institutions and agencies of the Southern
Baptist Convention. In addition to serving on the Human Welfare Commission and
State Missions Commission of the Baptist General Convention of Texas, he also
served as a member of the Board of Trustees of Midwestern Seminary and gave
generously not only there but also to New Orleans Seminary where his son now
serves as president and to Southeastern Seminary where his daughter served
alongside me while I was president of that institution. Dad and Mom followed us to
Southwestern Seminary with their membership in the President's Club. As a
mortician, he ended up much more as a minister to the grieving than as a funeral
director burying the dead. In short, few men have ever lived so unselfishly as
Charles Kelley.' .... More Times Picayune 12-10-2006

000893	Waters - Duncan A. Waters Acclaimed educational administrator and
entrepeneur, Duncan A. Waters died on Friday, December 22, following a lengthy
illness. He was a retired District Superintendent of the New Orleans Public
Schools and the owner and proprietor of Quality Educational Enterprises, Inc. His
death marks the demise of a legend in public education in New Orleans. His
productive tenure in the public school system of 37 years reflects a man with
extraordinary strength of conviction who was generously endowed with leadership
skills, professional acumen and tireless commitment. Admired and often emulated,
the deceased was not just a role model for others, but a cultivator of dedicated
practicians in search for excellence in education. His work has etched deep,
tractable footprints in the halls through which so many have wandered and his
influence remains pervasive with everyone he touched. Throughout his career he was
an intense advocate for parental involvement as a key to learning and he often led
system wide efforts to promote it. Mr. Waters was born on January 23, 1919 in
Montz, LA. He was the son of Randolph and Lodore Duncan Waters, one of eight
children. He grew up in a family environment that was dedicated to work and
service. These qualities, deeply ingrained early in his life, persisted until
death. The family moved to New Orleans where the deceased was educated in its
public schools. He graduated from McDonogh 35 Senior High School and entered the
teacher training program at Valena C. Jones Normal and Practice School. He earned
and undergraduate degree from the University of California at Berkley and a
Masters Degree in Educational Administration from Columbia University in New York
City. He had done additional graduate work at Loyola University and Louisiana
State University. Mr. Waters began his career as a classroom teacher and the
excellence of his work soon earned for him a promotion to the principalship. His
promotional assignments included Peter S. Lawton, James Lewis, Johnson C. Lockett
and Helen S. Edwards Elementary Schools. He also served as Counselor of Adult
Basic Education and Principal of the Booker T. Washington Senior High Adult
Education Program. He completed his work in the public schools as District
Superintendent for Area Three, retiring in 1978, after years of outstanding
service to the parents and children of New Orleans. Parents benefited much by his
career-long devotion to involving them actively in learning. Over the years, Mr.
Waters has been identified with a variety of community and professional
organizations to which his contributions demonstrated the work ethics of his
upbringing. He was a founder and active member of the Desire Area Community
Council, a member of the sub-committee on Education of Total Community Action, a
member of the Board of Directors of the Dryades Street Y.M.C.A., and the New
Orleans Council on Aging, and a member of the Advisory Council of the Southwest
Regional Education Laboratory. His affiliations with professional societies
included the National Alliance of Black School Educators, the National Education
Association's Department of Elementary School Principals, the Association for
Supervision and Curriculum Development, the Louisiana Retired Teachers Association
and the Retired Administrators of the New Orleans Public Schools. In 1991 he
received the coveted Lifetime Achievement Award for the Service to Children and
Youth by the Urban League of Greater New Orleans. Following retirement, the
deceased began a new career as the entrepeneur of a successful school supplies
establishment providing quality access to instructional materials for teachers and
school. The wealth of experience accumulated over the years added an extra
dimension to that service. Mr. Waters was also a longtime member of St. Raymond
Catholic Church, and a supporter of Bishop Perry Middle School. Mr. Waters was
preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Vorice Jackson Waters, six sisters-
Cecia Waters Hawkins, Adele Waters Tate, Noedia Waters, Marjorie Waters Brown,
Catherine Waters Atkinson, and Adrienne F. Waters and his brother, Charles J.
Waters. He is survived by his son, Leon A. Waters, his daughter-in-law, Aleta
Cornin (Broyard) Waters, three grandchildren-Michael L. Broyard, Tara Broyard
Hammond (Lawrenceville, Georgia), and Von Troy Waters, ten great grandchildren,
neices, nephews, cousins, and friends. The funeral service will be held on
