His parents were Italian immigrants who ran a grocery store. When he was five years old, he returned with his family to Cefalu, Sicily. In Italy, he grew up, survived tremendous poverty during World War II and became a barber's apprentice. He married Rosaria Cangelosi. While Rosaria was pregnant, Sam returned to the U.S. to establish himself as a barber, promising to arrange for passage for his wife and child when he got there. Rosaria gave birth to a boy, the late Salvatore F. Drago III, and they were re-united with Sam in the U.S. A second child, Angela Mary Drago, was born in Alexandria, La. The family later moved to New Orleans. In New Orleans, Sam worked for nearly six decades as a barber. Both of his children followed in their father's footsteps and learned the trade of hair styling. Sam's first barber shops were located on Gravier Street, and on Tulane Avenue near Broad Street. For the last 30 years of his career, he ran a barber shop in Kenner. His son 'Sammy' worked in the barber chair next to his father's, and Angela opened a beauty salon for women next door. Sam was a dedicated grandfather to his two grandchildren, Christian Drago Bonura and Nicole Bonura Morris. In his free time, he enjoyed gardening.

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.

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.

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.

Times Picayune 06-21-2007 **************************************** 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 70179), the Coast Guard Foundation (860-535-0786), or the charity of your choice.

Larry was born in New Orleans, LA on October 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.
