Gerald Frey. During that tenure, he directed the Junior Newman Clubs of the entire Archdiocese, until the program was discontinued in 1962 by Archbishop Cody. Msgr. Boeshans also served as Archdiocesan Director of the Council of Catholic Women, and as Archdiocesan CYO Director, during which time he was awarded the prestigious Ray Mock Service Award for outstanding service to youth. In addition, he was an active member of the Clergy Council for over 20 years, Procurator on the Matrimonial Court, Chaplain for KC Councils, and Catholic hospital chaplain for Methodist Hospital for ten years.

In the mid-1980s, Msgr. was host/moderator of Real-to Reel, a weekly television program for WLAE. This program highlighted notable personalities-local, national and international-in the Church. During his years of service, Father Boeshans was assigned as an assistant pastor at St. James Major (1948-49), Sts.

When Governor James A. Noe, owner of KNOE, started the city's first TV station, KNOE TV, in 1954, Beth hosted a live cooking show, Beth Breese's Pantry Party, each weekday at noon. In 1958, she left TV and began a career as a social worker at the Monroe Area Guidance Center. After a short time there, she accepted a state grant to attend the LSU School of Social Work from which she was graduated in 1961 with a Masters in Social Work. Legally separated from her husband, in 1961 she moved to Covington, Louisiana and became director of the St. Tammany Parish Mental Health Center. In the mid-'60s she accepted a position in the department of psychiatry at LSU Medical School in New Orleans where she taught aspiring physicians how to deal on a personal and emotional level with patients and their families and trained newly graduated clinical social workers. In the early '70s she left LSU and accepted the position of chief social worker at River Oaks Hospital, a new private psychiatric hospital in New Orleans specializing in the treatment of schizophrenia. In 1977, she started a private psychotherapy practice in New Orleans. She later moved her practice to Metairie, Louisiana and then to Mandeville, Louisiana and finally to her home in Abita Springs. She continued to see patients until eight weeks before her death. Beth Breese leaves as her legacy numerous former patients she treated in her many years of practice, many of whom contacted her during her final illness to tell her how much she meant to them and how she helped them transform their lives and relationships. She was predeceased by her parents, by her brother Robert F. Jones of Monticello, Florida and by a grandson, Frank C. "Chad" Breese, IV. She is survived by her son Frank C. "Kim" Breese, III and his wife Katie (Trimble) of Jackson, Mississippi; by her son Frederic C. Breese and his wife Suzanne (Tadlock) of Conway, South Carolina; by three grandchildren, Amanda K.

Bruns, as friends called him, was born a fifth generation New Orleanian in the autumn of 1926, at Touro Infirmary, to T.M. Logan Bruns, a prominent attorney, and Bland Cox Bruns. He often helped in the election campaigns of his mother, a Louisiana state legislator who cast that state's legislature's lone vote supporting the Brown v. Board of Education decision. Raised in New Orleans, he attended Country Day School and then high school at Christ School in Arden, NC. During those years, he spent a summer working for Higgins Industries in New Orleans helping to build amphibious landing craft for WWII. Following graduation at age 17, Bruns enlisted in the United States Marine Corps but the war ended before he shipped out. Honorably discharged, he enrolled at the University of Virginia, where he received BA and MA degrees in Economics, finishing in 1950. In 1950 he married Nancy Peyton du Pont and that same year reenlisted in the USMC, serving in the Korean Conflict. A masterful storyteller, his favorite about his military service relayed the erroneous announcement that appeared in his wife's hometown newspaper - amusing to all except his mother-in-law - which stated, "Lt. Bruns has just returned to his wife from 11 months active duty in Korea in time for the birth of their first child." After briefly working at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C., his young family moved to Houston, Texas, where in 1955 their second child was born. There he began his career as an independent oil operator, exploring for and producing oil and natural gas in Central Texas for the US market. After the end of his first marriage, he married Catherine Masterson Cage in 1969. In the late 1980s he moved to his farm on the James River in Virginia, where he pursued his many interests, especially fishing, canoeing and living close to nature. He remained devoted to his alma mater and to the memory of Thomas Jefferson, the founder of "The University," giving both time and financial support to UVa and Monticello in various ways. He enjoyed various affiliations including his membership with The Boston Club. He also served on the Board of Trustees of Christ School and was instrumental in helping the school resolve financial troubles it was facing at the time. Throughout his life, he possessed an uncanny ability to bring people together through his persuasion, humor, and generosity, often initiating interesting friendships that otherwise would not have formed. Many people will remember him in many ways. He is survived by his son Peter Bruns, daughter-in-law Kathleen Rice, and grandson George Bruns, of Greensboro, NC, daughter V. Peyton Bruns of New Orleans and Washington, D.C., stepson Michael Masterson Bruns of St. Paul, MN, and scores of cousins. A Memorial Service will be held soon at Christ Church, Glendower, near Keene, Virginia. In lieu of flowers any memorial considerations may be made to the Integrity Fund, established by him to honor his friend, Ernest Henry Ern, at UVa's College at Wise, Virginia (contact Mrs. Tami Ely at 276-376-1057).

Invictus (William Henry) Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul Times Picayune 9/7/2010 **************************************** 000301 HALL Proctor Mark Hall, age 84, passed away on Monday, September 6, 2010, at East Jefferson General Hospital.

With Boeing, he had major long-term assignments in Seattle, New Orleans, San Jose CA, and Houston TX. He worked in some capacity in almost all of the Nation's well-known Space Programs of the Twentieth Century. In 1959 - 62 (with time out for six months of active military duty as a Second Lieutenant at Aberdeen Proving Grounds), he worked for General Dynamics in engineering development of the Atlas ICBM and the Atlas- Centaur Space Launch Vehicles. Later versions of the Atlas-Centaur Launch Vehicle are still launching payloads into space today. In early 1963, Henry moved to The Boeing Company to work on engineering development of the Saturn 1C (S-1C), the first stage of the Saturn 5, the Launch Vehicle for the NASA Apollo Manned Lunar Missions. Henry worked in engineering support for the S-1C for launch of all of the Apollo Astronauts on their Lunar landing missions, the last in 1972. Henry's contribution to the lunar landing program is documented in the "The Boeing Company Apollo/Saturn V Roll of Honor", copies of which are in the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institute. He worked in the Preliminary Design programs for the NASA Space Shuttle and for the Space Tug, an upper stage for the Space Shuttle. Boeing won the Development contract for the Tug, named the Interim Upper Stage (IUS), which used two solid rocket motors (SRMs). Henry was assigned as Boeing representative to United Technologies Corporation, developer of the SRMs, in California, where he was instrumental in the successful development of the SRMS. The IUS was used by the USAF and NASA from 1982 through 2004. In the mid-1990s, Henry worked for Boeing Space Exploration Division at Houston TX, which was responsible for Program Management for NASA's International Space Station (ISS) Programs. Henry was Program Manager for the Lockheed Bus 1, an upper stage used for NASA's ISS operations, at the time that he retired in 1997. Henry never married but he loved his sister's daughters, Shawn and Austin, as much as any father could. He was generous to a fault and treasured his friends and family. He was fond of sailing and for a while owned a sailboat with two of his friends. He was deeply saddened when the boat was lost during Hurricane Camille, one of the worst gulf coast storms until Katrina. He loved living in New Orleans and made the city his destinations every time he could. He moved to Pennsylvania in 1997 after a serious illness so he could be close to his family. He is survived by his 98 year old mother, Willie Belle Hillbrath, his younger sister, Elizabeth Hillbrath Sturn, his nieces, Angela Shawn Dilfield and Austin Elizabeth Sturn, his beloved great-niece, Sara Elizabeth, and Angela Shawn's children by marriage, Christopher, Matthew and Samantha. A Memorial Service will be held on September 23, 2010, at seven p.m. at BuxMont Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 2040 Street Road, Warrington, PA. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be sent to Make It Right, PO Box 58009, New Orleans, LA 70158, a foundation that is dedicated to building affordable hurricane resistant houses in the Ninth Ward where most of the water damage occurred when the levees gave way during Hurricane Katrina.

She was 92, born Nov. 21, 1917, in Cardenas, Cuba. Mercedes married Eduardo E. Jenkins in 1945. During the Fidel Castro regime, she was forced to send her five children to safety in the United States while she remained in Cuba where her husband was held as a political prisoner. He was finally released and the family was reunited in Laurel, Miss., in 1963. The Asmar family, lifelong friends in Laurel, Miss., were instrumental in helping the family in countless ways during this time and we are forever grateful for their generosity and compassion as well as the entire community of Laurel. In 1964, Wright Adams, who has since passed away, assisted the family in relocating to Baton Rouge. Affectionately known as "Meme" to many, Mercedes truly loved life and made anyone who visited her home feel welcome and loved by her gentle nature, genuine warmth and hospitality. She was a wonderful example throughout every phase of her life. Her home was always full of people and she was a true delight to be around. Mercedes was a very active member of Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church and she selflessly donated her time for many years for various causes including cooking meals every day at her expense for 30 men for the Bishop Ott Shelter, knitting blankets for unwed mothers and the elderly, playing the piano for those at The Gillis W. Long Center for Hansen's Disease in Carville, and various nursing homes, volunteer work at hospitals and St. Vincent de Paul. She was so appreciative of all the help her family received from others that she wanted to give back in any way she could to the country that opened its arms to her and her family. She was recognized for her volunteer work and was awarded a Women Who Count: Giving Something Back award by the community in 1993. Mercedes had many talents and hobbies. She was a concert pianist and loved to entertain friends and family with any musical request they may have. She taught piano lessons at St. Aloysius School in Baton Rouge for many years as well as private lessons in her home. She will be forever remembered by all who met her for her genuine warmth and generosity. She was preceded in death by her parents, Pedro and Mercedes Alcebo; husband, Eduardo E. Jenkins; and four brothers, Pedro, Oscar, Raoul and Jose Alcebo. She is survived by a son, Eduardo J. Jenkins and his wife, Lynda; four daughters, Cristina Fowler and her husband, Jorge, Mercedes Suarez and her husband, Felipe, Victoria Castellanos and her husband, Francisco, and Carmen Williams; daughter-in-law, Linda Tucker Jenkins; son-in-law, Darwyn Williams, ten grandchildren, Eduardo Paul Jenkins and his wife, Arden, Christopher Jenkins, Jeorge Fowler IV, and his wife, Jennifer, Cristy Chauvin and her husband, Christian, Michelle Galavis and her husband, Alejandro, Anne and Wesley Williams, Patricia Davis and her husband, Kevin, Austin Distefano and Josh Bratton; and three great-grandchildren, Pierson and Parker Jenkins, and Ana Cristina Davis. The family would like to thank her many caregivers over the years.

During World War II Laura worked for the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. In November 1944, she married William Dewey Jenkins in San Francisco, California. M/SGT Jenkins died in 1959. Laura graduated with honors in 1963 from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. She was an elementary school educator in Fairfax County, Virginia for over 20 years before retiring in 1985. While she was in Virginia, she became an avid Washington Redskins football fan. Laura resided in New Orleans for over 15 years where she was a member of Woodland Presbyterian Church. She enjoyed reading, woodcarving, traveling, and visiting with her family and friends. During one of their trips Laura and her sister, Janice stumbled upon a unique festival in Woodstock, New York where they found the young folks to be "a very happy bunch". Laura had many beautiful cats through the years, and we imagine her embracing them now at the Rainbow Bridge. Laura was a devoted and loving mother and friend who was a blessing to all. She will be greatly missed by those who knew her. The youngest of four, Laura was predeceased by Janice M. Hedrick, Margaret E. Gawen, and James E. Rice Jr. She is survived by her children: Larry W.

He was 98. Born May 6, 1912 in Lititz, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Longenecker was the third son of educators Abraham Sandoe and Mary Ellen Herr Longenecker. His parents were Mennonites whose family roots in America were established with William Penn's founding of Pennsylvania in the early 1700s. Longenecker's father was superintendent of the Lititz school system at the time of his premature death in 1914. His mother Mary Ellen continued to support her family as a teacher. By age 10, Longenecker worked a paper route and in a neighbor's commercial greenhouse. He later played on the Lititz High School football team and in its orchestra and band. He graduated from high school in May 1929, after serving as class president all four years. At The Pennsylvania State College, Longenecker's academic focus shifted from plant science to biochemistry as he earned B.S., M.S., and PhD degrees. Longenecker played clarinet, saxophone, and violin in the Varsity 10 Orchestra and briefly considered a career as a professional musician. In 1936, the 24-year-old became one of very few scientists selected that year for a post-doctoral fellowship abroad, and one of the first from an agricultural college. Before leaving for Europe, he married Marjorie Jane Segar of Mechanicsburg, PA, the only girl he ever dated. Their marriage ended in her death 69 years later. The couple spent their first two years of married life at University of Liverpool, England; University of Cologne, Germany; and Queens University in Canada. Longenecker's research concentrated in fats and oils. Returning to the United States in 1938, Longenecker joined the faculty and research staff at the University of Pittsburgh, working with C. Glenn King, known for characterizing the biochemistry of Vitamin C and a pioneer in the study of the storage, shipment, and freezing of food. When King left Pittsburgh, Longenecker, then age 31, was placed in charge of the university's research efforts in the biological sciences. Over the next 17 years, he served as professor of biochemistry, dean of research in the natural sciences, and later dean of the graduate school. In 1944, the American Chemical Society designated him one of the ten ablest chemists working in the United States in the field of fats, oils, and soaps. In wartime he assumed key roles with the Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences and the Army's Quartermaster Corps Committee on Food Research where he helped redesign K-rations and powdered foods. In the post war era, he continued to serve a variety of national organizations in numerous capacities, including committees on biological warfare for the Navy, committees for the Army, National Institutes of Health, Office of Education, American Institute of Baking, and the Food and Drug Administration. As Dean of Research and Dean of the Graduate School, Longenecker recruited Dr. Jonas Salk to Pitt where Salk conducted the animal and large-scale human trials leading to the success of the Salk killed virus polio vaccine. Longenecker took a keen interest in Pittsburgh civic affairs and served on community and governmental boards, sometimes as president or chairman, that planned the Golden Triangle and related development and redevelopment projects in downtown Pittsburgh. Four children, Herbert Jr., Marjorie, Geoffrey, and Stanton, were born and grew up in the family's Fox Chapel home. In 1955, the University of Illinois recruited Longenecker to lead its health professional colleges of dentistry, medicine, and pharmacy, school of nursing, and its 620-bed research and educational hospital. Longenecker became vice president in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges. The colleges were a key institution in Chicago's Medical Center District then fast developing into one of the largest medical centers in the world. He set up communications within the colleges, expanded the university hospital, developed new medical research laboratories, filled key positions, and increased the flow of gifts and research grants to the university. In 1960, Longenecker was named a Distinguished Alumnus of his alma mater Penn State and received the Illinois Professional Council's Distinguished Service Award for his leadership in upgrading the standards and quality of the health professions in Illinois. During this five year period, the Longenecker family lived in Kenilworth. Beginning in 1960 and for the next 15 years, Longenecker served as President of Tulane University in New Orleans. At Tulane, Longenecker initiated new educational and research programs, including computer and teacher education centers, the Delta Primate Center near Covington, LA, the Riverside Research Laboratories near Belle Chase, LA, and the International Center for Medical Research and Training in Cali, Columbia. During his tenure, major new construction took place at the Tulane Medical Center. A new library, science center, and dormitory facilities were built on the uptown campus and historic structures renovated for other departments. Shortly after coming to Tulane, Longenecker co-chaired the NASA New Orleans Coordinating Committee which was instrumental in bringing a part of the space program to New Orleans. He also served numerous civic and governmental agencies, educational associations, private foundations, and business corporations. Jane Longenecker restored two University-owned homes at 12 Audubon Place and 2 Audubon Place to serve as the President's residences and entertained frequently the extended Tulane and New Orleans communities. Longenecker and Tulane were also active in the American Association of Universities (AAU). As AAU president, he led delegations of U. S. university presidents to meetings in Bonn, England, Moscow, Scotland, Sydney, and Tokyo. From 1961 to 1975, Longenecker served on and chaired the Department of Defense Advisory Panel on ROTC Affairs. Longenecker served as the first chairman of the Academic Advisory Board of the U.S. Naval Academy; a longtime director and chairman of the Nutrition Foundation (1961-1985); a director of the Bush Foundation of St. Paul, Minnesota (1969-1984); and a director of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, New York. From 1959 to 1988 Longenecker was a director of the Institute for Defense Analysis, adviser to the Secretary of Defense, the Chiefs of Staff, and the FBI. From 1966 to 1985, Longenecker was an active director of the multi-national corporation CPC International. Many of his 44 foreign trips were to inspect corn processing facilities across the globe. From 1968 to 1984, he served as a director of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, during which time the Equitable invested funds in the development of Riverchase in Birmingham and high rise towers in Birmingham and New Orleans. He helped design the Equitable's corporate giving program. First elected to the national scientific research society, Sigma Xi, in 1935, he served as national president in 1980. From 1976 to 1979, after retirement from Tulane, Longenecker served as the Managing Director of the New Orleans World Trade Center, where he had been a director beginning in 1961. Longenecker received honorary degrees from Duquesne University of Pittsburgh (1951), Loyola University of Chicago (1963), the University of Miami (1972), Loyola University of the South (1976), and the University of Illinois (1976). He became a Fellow of the American Public Health Society, the American Institute of Chemists, the New York Academy of Medicine, and the Institute of Medicine in Chicago. He received the Papal Award, Bene Merenti, in 1977. At his death, Longenecker was a resident of the St. Times Picayune 9/28/2010 **************************************** 000434 LOPEZ Eunice M.

Gina was born in Crockett, Texas and lived in Hawaii and the San Francisco Bay area during her high school years, as well as in Whidby Island, Washington, Chincoteague, Virginia, Pensacola, Florida, and other locations where her father, Jimmie Lee Whitten, a career Navy aviator, was stationed. She was a resident of Texas in her college years and of the New Orleans area since 1980. Gina held a Ph.D. in English from the University of Texas at Austin, and taught in the Loyola University New Orleans English department from 1980 until 1985 and then in the Loyola Intensive English program until 1992. She then worked as an Assistant and Associate Professor at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux before being promoted to Professor in 2009. She retired from Nicholls in 2010 because of her illness. Gina was the author of nine scholarly books on widely diverse topics and several book-length collections of academic essays, as well as hundreds of articles, encyclopedia entries, and other short pieces. She completed her last book, on Scottish mystery writer E.X. Ferrars, while undergoing chemotherapy at Tulane Hospital where she received excellent care in the Bone Marrow Ward. She continued her scholarly writing even while undergoing outpatient treatment at the Tulane Cancer Center, whose doctors and staff she valued highly. Perhaps as a consequence of her childhood postings with her military family, Gina was an inveterate traveler, spending months in Mexico (she was bi-lingual in Spanish) and England, as well as making trips to France, Belgium, Germany, Costa Rica, and Russia for multiple visits. Perhaps her favorite place was Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where she would visit family members and enjoy the unspoiled nature of the area and its dramatic geology. Gina also found spiritual contentment in the American West and Pacific North-West, particularly in the state and national parks, where her photography was remarkable for a non-professional. An animal lover and protector all her life, Gina could never refuse aid and comfort to any creature in need, a mark of her kind and giving nature. Gina is survived by her husband of forty years, Andrew, her mother, Lonnie Mae Whitten of Austin, and three sisters, Jeanie Kay, Barbara Ann, and Linda Sue, of Central Texas. Her aunt Laura lives in Arlington, Texas. An aunt, Ruth Copeland, and cousins Lannie and Anita constitute the Canadian branch of her family. Her extended family included scores of students and colleagues who benefited from her teaching and mentoring, since Gina could never do enough in support of people in need, giving generously of her time and attention. Her international students around the world found in her a surrogate parent, someone who never withheld help when needed. Gina will be cremated and there will be no memorial service until a later time. Her wish was that rather than flowers, donations be made to the Louisiana SPCA.

Forever known as the "man who caught the pass" in the 1959 Sugar Bowl, Mickey, in a state famous for its political and business divisions, carved out a successful career that cut across those divisions.

While at LSU, he served as Assistant Law Librarian at the Hebert Law Center and as a LSU Graduate Assistance Football Coach from 1963-1965. As a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity, he received the special designation of LifeLoyal Sig. Earning degrees from the College of Engineering and the Paul M Hebert Law Center, Mickey served with distinction on various professional organizations throughout his life. Cutting his political teeth as a Jaycee, Mickey involved himself in countless elections from local school boards to races for US Senate and the White House. With an unyielding belief in democracy, he was a true patriot. Mickey was selected to play in the Blue Gray Game (1961); Hula Bowl (1961); to All-American Scholastic Football Teams (1958, 1959, 1960); served on LSU Student Government as Representative of College of Engineering (1960-61); was a member of the Governing Board, Student Bar Association and Moot Court Program (1063-65); served as President of Omicron Delta Kappa (1963- 65); named Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities; served on Shreveport Bar Association Board of Directors and chaired the Judicial Relations Committee; served on the Louisiana State Bar Association House of Delegates (1978-1980); served on Board of United Fund Shreveport (1976-80); served on Shreve Memorial Library Board of Trustees (1970-80); served on LSU Athletic Council (1978-1981); was a member of the Rotary Club of Shreveport and the Rotary Club of Lafayette; served on the Academy of the Sacred Heart, Grand Coteau, LA, Advisory Board of Trustees; was a regular speaker at LSU Mineral Institute; served on Board of Directors for the Shreveport and Lafayette Chambers of Commerce; was a member of Advisory Board of LSU Junior Division; served as member and team leader for American Inns of Court, Acadiana Chapter; served as Chairman of the Lafayette Tollway Commission; and represented most of the major pipeline companies in the United States and most of the intra-state pipelines in Louisiana. Never a man to turn a blind eye or a deaf ear, rarely did he utter a harsh word (unless against Ole Miss or Tulane). Mickey encompassed all that is good and right with human nature. He was everybody's All-American. He may be a legend on the football field, but he is forever in our hearts and memories as one of the good guys. A prince of a man.

Times Picayune 9/22/2010 **************************************** 000456 MARINO Monday morning, September 27, 2010, Deborah Walch Marino, age 59, unexpectedly left us to join her mother Mildred Hymes who also left us just one month ago. She is now with many of her loving family who we also miss. She's preceded in death by her grandparents and her mother and father William Walter Hymes and Mildred Hymes. She leaves behind her daughter Tessa Marino, son Brian Walch, two grandchildren Sabrina Walch and Brandon Walch, and long time companion and husband Anthony Marino. Not only was Debbie a pioneer in the early days of her career with the phone company in the early 70's being one of the first women to work an outside field position, but as harsh as the male critics could be at the time, some of those WWII vets who worked with her who stated that she worked as hard as any of them and they respected her. That's not something they would say lightly. Some would say, however, that her career was only a sideline to her sewing for which she had quite a talent. She was also a union steward who proudly represented many workers. And, as a fierce proponent of the union, it was said that she wasn't one against whom you would want to cross the picket line. Her career was cut short though when after surviving an aneurysm she contracted lupus which she would battle for the rest of her life. Then, not only would she survive the first aneurysm, but she would survive a second some years later. Even in the face of all the adversities I don't think I ever saw my mom down. Her spirit was a light that drew people to her. Debbie's personality was also characterized by kindness and charity, traits she surely learned from her mother and grandmother. Her giving and generosity make losing such a good person so much more unbearable. So many of us depended on her because she always made herself available. She left us too soon, and we miss her painfully. Relatives and friends are invited to her Funeral Service on Friday, October 1, 2010, at 11:00 a.m., at Greenwood Funeral Home, 5200 Canal Blvd., New Orleans, LA 70124.
