She was 80. Armstrong was an inspiration for generations of women who followed in the trail she blazed. She served as Co-Chairman of the Republican National Committee from 1971 to 1973, the first woman to hold such a position for either national political party. In 1972 she was the first woman to deliver a keynote address at a national political convention. President Richard M. Nixon appointed her to serve as Counsellor to the President with cabinet rank, a position she continued to hold under President Gerald R. Ford, who later appointed her Ambassador to the Court of St. James's. She was the first woman to hold this title. In 1980 Armstrong became Co-Chairman of the Reagan-Bush campaign. In 1981 President Ronald Reagan appointed her Chairman of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board where she advised him, and later President George H. W. Bush, on matters of intelligence and foreign policy during the height of the Cold War. She held the position until 1990. Armstrong and her husband Tobin were active in Texas politics throughout their lives and are credited with having helped establish Texas as a two party state. She succeeded Tobin after his death in 2005 as a Commissioner of Kenedy County, Texas, and held the office until her death. To honor her career of patriotic service Armstrong was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1987 by President Reagan, who said upon the occasion, "Her skill and unstinting effort in the service of her country have earned her the gratitude of our nation." In addition to her accomplishments in the political arena, Armstrong served as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, as a Regent of Texas A & M University, and as a director on the boards of many corporations such as General Motors, American Express, Boise Cascade, Glaxo-Wellcome, and Halliburton. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on December 27th, 1927, Armstrong graduated valedictorian from Foxcroft School, where she was head of the student body. In 1949 she received her B.A. degree from Vassar College, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in her junior year. In 1950 she married Tobin Armstrong and moved to his family's ranch in South Texas, where they raised five children. They enjoyed a remarkable and devoted marriage of 55 years. The Armstrong Ranch remained her home throughout her adult life. Those who visited the ranch will remember the warmth that complemented her intelligence and unwavering resolve. She enjoyed hunting, fishing and the affection of an extended family and many friends. Armstrong was predeceased by her husband, Tobin Armstrong, her parents, Armant and Olive Legendre, and her brother, James M. Legendre. She is survived by her five children: J. Barclay Armstrong and wife Nancy and their children John, Alston and Judd; Katharine Armstrong Love and husband Ben and her children Anne, Karsten and Barclay Idsal; Sarita Armstrong Hixon and husband Bob and their children Gideon, Alex, Tom and Tobin; James Armstrong and wife Lucy; Tobin Armstrong, Jr. and wife Ardon and their children Sallie, Tobin III and Phineas; a sister, Katharine Legendre King and her children; and a nephew, Armant Legendre.

It was a peaceful end to a long and productive life of service. Bill was a member of the generation Tom Brokaw depicted in his book titled "The Greatest Generation," about those Americans who came of age during the Great Depression, fought World War II, and went on to help build America into the great country that it is. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his service during World War II. Bill was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on February 11, 1913 to Ernest Eugene Braun and Marie Anna Pinet Hannigan Braun. He was the third of seven children, four boys and three girls. All four brothers: Thomas, Richard, Theodore and Bill, served in the military during World War II. In his early career, Bill worked as a laborer in the ARMCO steel mills and had a brief career as a traveling salesman for a window shade company. During his travels, Bill fell in with a group of "barnstormers" and soon developed a passion for flying. At the beginning of World War II, Bill was the sales manager of a regional air plane distributor, Tri-state Aviation. He soon joined and trained in the Royal Canadian Air Force. After the formation of the Army Air Corp, Bill transferred to the US military and was ultimately assigned a B-29 Aircraft Commander and the Group Operations Officer of the 315th Bomb Wing of the 20th Air Force stationed on Guam. Among the missions he flew, Bill was part of "The Last Mission." On August 14/15th, 1945, the 315th Bomb Wing flew a 16 hour and 50 minute mission, the longest mission in history at that time, striking oil refining targets about 200 miles northwest of Tokyo and significantly reducing Japan's capacity to further fuel it's military. This mission was flown 9 days after the atomic attack on Hiroshima and 6 days after the attack on Nagasaki. The end of the war was announced as their planes were returning to Guam. Many experts believe the Last Mission insured a Japanese surrender that was being seriously challenged by an Imperial Palace insurrection. Bill was seldom seen wearing a suit jacket without his Distinguished Flying Cross ribbon on his lapel. After receiving his discharge from the military with the rank of major, Bill went back to Cincinnati and began a career in the automobile industry managing dealerships in Ohio. In 1952, Bill married Isleta Gayle Braun and later moved to New York. In 1958, he and Isleta moved to the Mississippi Gulf Coast where they enjoyed their long and happy marriage, raised their daughters and made many devoted friends. Bill owned the Ford dealership in Gulfport for several years. He also owned one of the first Vespa Scooter franchises in the US. He later began a real estate firm, Braun & Co. Realtors, where he remained active until his early 90's. Bill and Isleta had many lifelong friends and associations in New Orleans including Bill's long membership in the Boston Club. Bill and Isleta considered the Mississippi Gulf Coast their home, but in 2003 they adopted Houston as home in order to be near family. Bill was preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Isleta Gayle Braun. He is survived by his two daughters: Linda Gayle Braun Gipson, Alma Pinet Braun McBride and 5 grandchildren: Lauren Gipson Dykes, Wesley William Gipson, Georgia Braun McBride, Annie Gayle McBride and James William McBride. Bill was expecting his first great grandchild. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday August 6 at 4:00 p.m. at the West University United Methodist Church. Final internment will be at the Live Oak Cemetery in Pass Christian Mississippi.

Born August 27, 1915, to Martha Gasquet and George Westfeldt at their summer house in Fletcher, N.C., Mrs. Fitzpatrick was delivered by local physician and general store owner Dr. Fletcher, whose subsequent bill included flour, sugar, salt and a ten dollar charge for "one female child." Prior to her birth she had been named after her great uncle in hopes that she would be a boy. Throughout her life she was known as "Coo" because an infant malady was treated with a nightly petit coup of cognac. She and her siblings often spoke French at home in New Orleans, and years later teaching the language to preschoolers would be one of the many ways she touched the lives of children. Mrs. Fitzpatrick was educated at Louise S. McGehee School in New Orleans, St. Timothy's outside Baltimore, Newcomb College and Katherine Gibbs School in New York City. She was Queen of Harlequins and a maid in other Carnival courts. Married in 1940 to William Fitzpatrick, an editor at The States, she spent World War II caring for her first two sons and serving as a liaison in the Maison Blanche Building nerve center for Nazi submarine spotters reporting from the mouth of the Mississippi River. According to longtime friend Gladys Gay LeBreton, "Coo never had any use for those storm troopers after we visited Germany to see the Berlin Games in 1936." The majority of Mrs. Fitzpatrick's adult life was spent in Norfolk, Va., where her husband was an editor for Landmark Publications. There she raised four sons while ministering to less fortunate children. She was a founding member of CANDII House, a residential facility for children with AIDS and their mothers, as well as a contributor, advocate and volunteer for St. Mary's Infant Home for severely handicapped children. Mrs. Fitzpatrick was instrumental in renovating the facility. She was devoted to the Catholic Church and involved in many church charities. She twice served on the Tidewater board of the Colonial Dames and was honored by that organization in 2005 for fifty years of service. A long standing member of the Garden Club of America affiliate, the Garden Club of Virginia, she was an officer of the Norfolk chapter and chair of the Conservation Committee. Locally known as an herbalist, Mrs. Fitzpatrick maintained a medicinal and culinary herb garden for much of her life and promoted the health benefits of herbs and natural ingredients.

Jerry Lott Toastmaster and Friend Lafayette Toastmasters When I first met Jerry, I knew getting to know him would be an exciting journey. He never stopped talking about and sharing his enthusiastic love for Toastmasters. Over the year or so, that we met and exchanged Toastmaster and normal communications, I discovered a very new Toastmaster, yet DEEPLY hooked on the, as we call it, Bleeder of Toastmaster Blue Blood spirit. At 46, all of us should take another good look at ourselves, and what we do for an mean to each other and others in general but MORE SO what we can mean to them. Jerry was so active and participating in EVERYTHING, like the time he wore a Shiek Outfit at the Spring Conference when we dressed in costumes. He lived and loved fun, and should be remembered in the same mode. I compare it to "just being able to love life, and share it with everyone insight". We shall remember him and honor him in the mourning process, but also know, he is at the Big Convention in the sky with the VERY best. Seems we always are losing a valuable asset, but I know Jerry will probably start a new club in Heaven soon. I know when he speaks to our creator, the words will be quality as a TM would be expected to render. They may charter the same day. To family and friends, Our Sincere Condolences, to all: "GOD gives the very best to those who leave decisions to HIM". Thank your for his presence.

He was 79. Born and reared in Alexandria, LA he was the oldest son of Morgan W. Walker and Genevieve James Walker, and one of six children. On the active farm on which the family home on Horseshoe Drive sat, Mr. Walker was given the name "Little Man" by the farm workers. That name became "Manny" to everyone who knew him. By his early teen years he was driving trucks and delivering milk for the family business, Walker Cloverland Dairy which became Walker-Roemer Dairy. It was on this place that he learned to ride a horse, and this became a life long passion. As a boy he was active in the Boy Scouts of America, meeting with Masonic Home Troop on Horseshoe Drive. He earned the Eagle Scout rank. He attended Sewanee Military Academy, Chattanooga, Tennessee for four years graduating in 1947. He attended LSU briefly, and then followed his urge to get a practical education in the beef cattle and farming industries of Louisiana. In the early 50's, Mr. Walker joined the Seabees Reserve and received an Honorable Discharge from the United States Navy in September, 1954. In 1970 he converted his 1,100 acre cattle ranch on the Leesville Hwy. into catfish ponds in which he raised and sold catfish for consumption, becoming one of Louisiana's first entries into the industry. At the same time he redesigned the small farmhouse on the ranch to become the very successful and popular Grand Maw's House, a catfish restaurant which received excellent reviews. In 1985, Mr. Walker was elected to the board of Guaranty Bank and Trust Company of Alexandria. As a young man, Mr. Walker was taught to fly at Esler Field and in the 70's he used his Cessna to fly to farms in Ferriday to direct some his family's farming operations. Later he was called on to pilot state and federal politicians around the country. He relished the behind the scenes political action. In 1979, Mr. Walker used his restaurant experience to acquire the Washington D.C. area franchise for Popeye's. He moved his family to that area and in 1985 at the National Convention of Popeye's franchisee's he was named to the Popeye's Hall of Fame. He sold his last franchise in that area in March 2007. In 1993 Mr. Walker realized a lifetime dream when he bought a horse farm in Clark County, Virginia where he began to raise registered Quarter Horses. He was invited to ride with the Blue Ridge Hunt and added foxhunting to his skills with horses. At his death he maintained his membership with the Hunt. During those years he continued to compete in events related to Western Horseback such as cutting, and roping. He was a fine horseman and at heart a cowboy. He retired to the North Shore area of Louisiana in 2003. Mr. Walker worked with handicapped children on horseback as part of Freedom Rein Organization. He was also active in 2003 and 2004 with Habitat for Humanity as a volunteer. He is survived by his wife, former (Sue Field), and three sons: Morgan W. Walker, III, an Associate Professor of Painting at the Northern Pacific School of the Arts who lives with his wife, Laura Smith-Walker and their daughter, Lucy Jane in Portland, Oregon; Donald Hancock Walker who works as a financial consultant on films and resides in Venice, California with his son, Hancock, his daughter, Morgan lives in Ruston; and John Luke Walker, an Assistant United States Attorney who lives with his wife, Sarah and children, Rachel, and Benjamin in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Following the war Edward finished his high school education and then entered the Polytechnic Institute of Gdansk to study chemical engineering. He finished his undergraduate studies in 1954 and subsequently obtained his MS and PHD degrees, and began his teaching career as an adjunct professor at the same university. His post-graduates work at the Polytechnic Institute yielded several patents. During his studies there, in the early years, he met the love of his life, also a chemical engineering student, Irena. They were married in 1957. To escape the oppression of communism in Poland and to create a better life for his family, Edward immigrated to the United States in December 1972, along with his wife and two children.
