Times Picayune **************************************** 000032 ARTHUR Delores Taylor Arthur, a committed and accomplished educator, returned Home to be with her God on June 30, 2012. A native New Orleanian who lived for brief stints in Detroit, Michigan, Los Angeles, California, and Cincinnati Ohio, Delores was a proud product of Lafon Elementary and McDonough 35 High School. There was little that brought her more pride than being a graduate of Xavier University where she earned a degree in Elementary Education. She would subsequently pursue and complete a Masters Degree in Education with an emphasis in Curriculum and Instruction. At some point during her early working years, Delores was a licensed practical nurse who took great pride in taking care of those who were in need of healing. While it was evident that she enjoyed nursing, her real passion would be in teaching children. During her professional career, she loved and challenged children at McDonough 36, William J. Guste Elementary, Stuart Elementary in Princeton, Ohio, and Harold Keller Elementary (formerly James Madison) in Metairie. Because of her mastery of the profession, she was instrumental in piloting Jefferson Parish's Instructional Associate Program which was designed to mentor new teachers. This expertise was recognized beyond Louisiana when she was asked to train a group of newly minted Teach for America instructors in Northern California. In the years immediately preceding her retirement, Delores worked in Central Office for the Jefferson Parish School Board as a recruiter who was instrumental in recruiting, hiring, and placing new teachers. After her retirement, she remained active in the field by working for the State of Louisiana's teacher evaluation program. Those who knew her were aware that Delores Arthur had a melodius singing voice. A soprano with a trained operatic voice, she was often invited to sing at churches across the city. When asked to reflect upon her experiences as a singer, she would smile broadly and remind us that she was one of the very first African-Americans to sing on the stage at Loyola University in Carmen. She never tired of singing. She was a fervent disciple of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She worked unselfishly at Bethany United Methodist Church and during the last few years at Hill of Zion Missionary Baptist Church. Delores Arthur is survived by her sons, Larry Preston Williams, Sr. (Theresa), Byron Rene Arthur, Esq. (his fiancée The Honorable June Berry Darensburg), her grandchildren Larry Preston Williams, Jr., and Francesca Monique Williams. She is also survived by one aunt, Celia Dawson of Baton Rouge, La., and a host of other relatives and friends.

Shirley was born in New Orleans, Louisiana where she attended St. Stephens High School and later moved to Kenner, Louisiana where she has resided for the past 45 years. After raising 6 children, she attended Jefferson Parish Vocational-Technical School and earned her Certification in Hotel Administration Management for Executive Housekeeper, Certified Dietetic Assistant, and recognized by the National Executive Housekeeping Association, Inc. for her completion of the Records Program. She also won numerous awards and recognition for her outstanding performance and achievements as the Executive Housekeeper and Laundry Manager for the Bourbon Orleans Hotel in N.O., Sheraton on the Lake in N.O., Holiday Inn Crown Plaza in N.O., and the Airport Travelodge in Kenner. She also worked for a brief time as the Catering Manager for Loyola University. While working over 15 years in the Hotel Management Industry, she also raised 4 of her grandchildren.

In addition to providing for her own family while in retirement, Shirley became a caretaker for the elderly and the sick. In more recent years, she spent time cruising the town with her friends; however, her most favorite past time was spent loving and watching her great-grandchildren. Nothing brought her more joy than her "Special Angel" to whom the word "no" never existed to in her vocabulary. Always giving herself to more than three generations of her family and never wanting anything but love in return; she truly was a remarkable woman. All her life she worked hard to provide for her family, and would sacrifice her own wants to make sure her family was taken care of.

He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Anne Chappell Strickland, two daughters: Muir Dean of Durham, NC and Helen Werum of Stuttgart, Germany; and three grandchildren: Ian, Anne and Sarah Werum. Photography combined with natural history has been a lifelong avocation for Dr. Bradburn, Chief of Pathology at Touro Infirmary from 1974 to 2006. Beginning about age six with a Brownie Box Camera and trips to the Audubon Zoo, learning darkroom techniques in a converted laundry room while still in grammar school, his first "real" camera was a Leica III-F purchased in Japan while he was serving in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. His photographs of the Mississippi barrier islands were the cornerstone of his fifteen year effort to have two small islands, Horn and Petit Bois, included in the National Wilderness system. Now a part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, wilderness is the ultimate protection available to insure that these island remain preserved untouched for posterity. Using the 35 mm format with Leicas, Nikons and finally digital Canons, his photographs have appeared in Natural History, Smithsonian, Audubon, Sierra Club, Nature Conservancy magazines as well as in National Geographic. His work is represented in the Audubon Encyclopedia of Birds and was featured in an award winning WYES-TV documentary, "the Fragile Barrier". He has had exhibits in the Mississippi Natural History Museum, Jackson, MS, the Eastern Shore Art Museum of Point Clear, AL, Studio 8 in New Orleans, the New Orleans Public Library, the Walter Anderson Museum of Art and more recently at the Garden District Gallery in New Orleans. He was awarded the National Sierra Club's prestigious Ansel Adams Award for Conservation Photography in 1971. In 1975 the Mississippi Wildlife Federation named Dr. Bradburn Conservation Communicator of the year. In 2011 the University Press of Mississippi published his book, "Last Barriers: Photographs of Wilderness in the Gulf Islands National Seashore". No local services have been announced at this time.

Brenner, M.D., age 72, died on Monday, July 30, 2012 at his New Orleans, LA residence. Survived by his wife of 44 years, Ronnie Rittmaster Brenner, their daughter Jennifer Brenner Birmingham, son-in-law Jim Birmingham, and their granddaughter Alafair Melinda Birmingham. Joe is the son of the late Blanche and Irv Brenner of Pittsburgh. He was graduated from Washington and Jefferson College, Phi Beta Kappa, and magna cum laude, and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Montefiore Hospital, Pittsburgh was the site of his internship and residency. He came to New Orleans in 1967 to serve as a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Public Health Service. He completed his residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in pulmonary diseases at Tulane University School of Medicine and has enthusiastically practiced internal medicine in New Orleans for forty-four years. Joe and Ronnie were married by Justice of the Peace Gaston Gilbert in Eight Mile, Alabama in 1967, after a long drive from New Orleans and many wrong turns. When the abbreviated civil ceremony concluded with "and in the name of"...long pause..."Governor Lurleen Wallace and President Lyndon Baines Johnson," they knew they were off to a unique start. Later, Cantor David Benedict of Temple Israel, New York added his blessing to the union. They fell in love with New Orleans and never left, apart from a brief exile post Katrina. Dr. Brenner served as President of the Medical Staff, Touro Infirmary; President of Memorial Clinics, Touro Infirmary; and President of the Orleans Parish Medical Society. He was honored on May 30, 2012 with a celebratory reception and plaque for his four decades of service to Touro Infirmary and the Touro community. He also served on the Board of Touro Synagogue. In recent years he spent most Wednesdays with Ronnie preparing, serving, and sharing dinner with the families and staff at the Ronald McDonald House on Canal Street. Joe took no credit for the cooking and referred to himself as Ronnie's "sous schlepp." Lifelong appreciators, collectors, and donors of art, the Brenners enjoyed being Fellows of the New Orleans Museum of Art. Joe relished the time he spent with his morning coffee gang at Still Perkin'. After crack-of-dawn rounds, he began his day with some hearty laughter, a touch of intellectual exchange, but mostly good repartee. Though there was no cure for his liposarcoma, much of his healing, until the time of his death, came from continuing to practice and serve his patients. Joe's wit, excitement for learning, love for and commitment to his family, patients, and friends make him a man to remember. Friends, patients and colleagues are welcome at a Memorial Service on Sunday, August 5, 2012 at 2:00 PM at Touro Synagogue, 4238 St. Charles Ave. with Rabbi Alexis Berk officiating.

Susan Salot Gaumer; his son, Matthew Richard Gaumer of New Orleans; his daughter, Catherine Lorraine Gaumer Farr; his son-in-law, Gist Henry Farr III; and by his granddaughter, Elizabeth Lorraine Farr of Seattle, Washington. Dick graduated from Wilmington Friends School where the Quaker traditions of peace and justice deeply influenced his character throughout his life and career. He studied biology, graduating from Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, earned a Master of Science degree in Marine Biology from the University of Delaware, and a Ph.D in Bacteriology and Immunology from the University of North Carolina, ChapelHill. Following a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Colorado, he moved on to a research position at the University of Minnesota before coming to New Orleans. Although initially at Tulane University, in 1980 he began a life long relationship working with LSU Medical School. He served there as Associate Professor of Pathology, Coordinator of HIV Laboratory Services, and as Scientific Director of Molecular Pathology and Flow Cytometry at Charity Hospital, later LSU Interim Hospital. One of his medical technicians described him as "a leader, teacher, inspector/travel partner, cheerleader, friend, confidant and rescuer of [her] job following Hurricane Katrina." When the HIV-AIDS crisis hit in the early 1980's, Dr. Gaumer visited bars in the French Quarter to assure those worried about affliction that research was going on that would, if not cure the disease, make it possible to live a quality of life with the disease for years to come. His work at Charity helped make that assurance a reality. A devout Christian, Dick chaired the HIV-AIDS Commission in the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana, and participated in the national HIV-AIDS efforts of The Episcopal Church. Devoted to public radio, Dick served on the Board of WWNO until his death . He sang in Episcopal Church choirs in Minnesota and New Orleans, graduated from the School for Ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana, and was a member of the Ambassador Club. He will be remembered for his marvelous sense of humor and dry wit and for riding his bike on the Mississippi River levee every morning from Uptown New Orleans to well past Elmwood in Jefferson Parish and back. Dr. Gaumer's funeral will take place at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, New Orleans, (at the corner of South Carrollton Avenue and Zimpel Street) on Tuesday, July 10, 2012.

Times Picayune **************************************** 000523 MASON Bernard Mason, New Orleans businessman and one of the developers of the New Orleans Ritz-Carlton Hotel, died on Saturday, June 30, 2012 in New Orleans at the age of 78. A born conversationalist and storyteller of great wit, he left his native Mississippi in 1951 to study architecture at Tulane, and although he was to eventually graduate from Mississippi State University with a degree in agriculture, his love for beauty and his urge to create it never abated. His introduction to New Orleans was also his introduction to his wife of 57 years, Earline Viavant Mason. He began his adult life a planter in the Mississippi delta of his youth, but quickly came back to New Orleans and the Gulf coast where he developed, designed and operated hotels such as the Chateau LeMoyne in the French Quarter as well as residential developments such as the Perdido Key Country Club near Pensacola, Florida. Of all his pleasures, none stood above that of a table well-laid with food and drink and surrounded by his family and friends. His deep basso voice had a lyrical and musical quality which commanded attention when he spoke, and which conveyed pleasure to all who heard his tales of New Orleans rouges and their adventures. He was an authority of every imaginable subject. Over the course of his life he was to be a planter, real estate developer, hotelier and a businessman. His knowledge of architecture was simultaneously his vocation and his pleasure. Mr. Mason and his partners purchased the Maison Blanche Department Store building in 1997 and began converting the upper floors into the Ritz- Carlton Hotel. In 1998, Dillards shuttered the Canal Street Maison Blanche location, leaving the first three floors of the building vacant-a potentially disastrous circumstance for a luxury hotel whose construction was underway. Working quickly, Mr. Mason and his architects redesigned those first three floors into the stunning gallery of shops, lobby and meeting space of today. He was mechanically inclined. He designed everything-knives, boats, hotels, restaurants, bars and houses-twice in the case of his home in New Orleans which burned and twice for his Gulf coast home which was destroyed by Camille in 1969, then again by Katrina 36 years later. As a raconteur he was second to none. His prodigious memory and the artistry with which he concocted his tales insured that a seat at his table was a deeply coveted commodity during his weekly lunches at the Rib Room. On the rare occasions which a story wasn't forthcoming, he instigated one. A pall has settled upon New Orleans-its liveliness and its mirth diminished, for when he left, many feel he took a part of the city with him. He was preceded in death by his parents, B. D. And Bertha Mason. In addition to his wife Earline, he is survived by his daughter Lisa Mason Watson and former husband Rob Watson of Pass Christian, Mississippi, his son and daughter-in-law Robert and Sara Mason of Gulf Breeze, Florida; three grandsons, Ryan Mason, Robert and Mason Watson; granddaughter Christine Hall (Brandon) and one great granddaughter, Ellen Hall. He is also survived by a sister and brother-in-law, Carol Ann and JB Herrin of Clarksdale, Mississippi.

Olivera, born in Pedro Betancourt, Cuba, on April 20, 1919, passed away suddenly on Sunday, July 8, 2012, leaving Ruth, his beloved wife of 61 years, his daughters, Deborah Deaton of Lexington, South Carolina, Becky Olivera of Baton Rouge, and Maria Molina, of New Orleans, also his sons-in-law Doug Deaton and Carlos Molina, his grandson Mark Deaton and granddaughters Lilian and Lila Molina. Although his passing was unexpected, the family is thankful that he was spared a lengthy illness. He will be greatly missed. He came to LSU in 1946 where he lived in the stadium and "first learned to butcher the English language." With doctoral degrees from the Universities of Havana and Tulane, he was a professor at Syracuse University from 1951-1965 and at Tulane University from 1965-1988, serving as Chairman in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese from 1983-1986. He was a dedicated and inspiring teacher. Upon his retirement in 1988 he was named Professor Emeritus. He authored eight books in his field of Latin American Literature and numerous professional articles. Though he became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1957, his heart remained in Cuba throughout its turmoil with the Castro dictatorship. He was never to return to his native land after 1953, but a free Cuba was always his dream. When gathered with other Cubans he was never at a loss to tell a good joke. As a special gift to his children, he compiled a book of memories and family stories of life in Cuba. An avid reader in many fields, he had a special interest in history, natural science, the arts, and the West. Travels with his wife took him to 35 countries on three continents and around the U.S. He had a passion for the great outdoors, whether camping in the Adirondacks in his younger days or observing the antics of birds feeding on the balcony in his declining years. At that time his constant companion was his Boston terrier Pepper whom he spoiled outrageously. A Memorial Service will be held at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd, New Orleans, LA on Thursday, July 12, at 2:00 p.m. with visitation at 1:00 p.m. Interment will follow in Lake Lawn Park Mausoleum.

He was born February 10, 1930 at Blackheath, London, England the youngest of five sons born to Reginald L.T. and Edith Tunstill Quail. At the advent of World War II the family moved to an Elizabethan farmhouse located at Flatford, a tiny village near the Suffolk coast directly below the flight path between Germany and England. His descriptions of watching aircraft of both sides flying back and forth (and sometimes meeting in the middle) were of great interest to both students and scholars. He was educated in Catholic boys schools and at age 17 entered the Dominican novitiate. His Dominican training culminated with studies at Oxford and ordination. After several years assignments in the North, he was sent to join the Fathers of the English Dominican Province who staffed the Order's missions on the Caribbean islands of Barbados and Grenada. He remained there until 1976 when he came to New Orleans under the sponsorship of the late Father Val McInnis OP for a sabbatical year. Later he applied for and was granted laicization. Mr. Quail taught religion at local Catholic high schools and Xavier University. His experience as a Funeral Director led him to seek professional training as a bereavement counselor which, in turn, led to his work as a hospital chaplain. He retired in 1995. Many of his retirement hours were spent reading The Tablet, the English Catholic weekly newspaper, cover to cover. He remained faithful to daily prayers and study. He was an accomplished pen and ink artist and his exquisitely detailed pictures of houses are in collections throughout the area. He was an adult docent at the New Orleans Museum of art and an active member of the Oxford-Cambridge Society of Louisiana and was most proud of his work organizing the Great Debates sponsored by that group. He was married 36 years to Florence Day Quail who survives him. He is also survived by a brother, Peter Quail of St. Georges, Canada, five stepchildren: Henry Burks IV of DC, Bennette Burks of Richmond, VA, Sarah Burks Rozell of Highland Village, TX, Auxford Burks of Larchmont, NY, and Ann Burks Kallauner of New Orleans LA and their spouses, children and grandchildren.

Officiating will be the Revs. David Melville, Michael Barrett, and Carl Rhoads. The family will receive friends from 4:00-7:00 p.m. Monday, July 9, 2012 at Rose- Neath Marshall Street Funeral Home, Bossier City, LA. After a ten-year struggle, Alzheimer's felled Budgie within sight of his 90th birthday. What a magnificent decade-long fight he made against the ravages of the disease, able to communicate near the end only with a smile or a squeeze of your finger. Even then, one felt he could win. He was predeceased by his mother, stepfather, and father Charles Elson "Pete" Roemer, sister, Margaret Roemer Read, and son-in-law Randall Harland Lefler. He is survived by Adeline McDade Roemer, his wife of 70 years, and partner in all endeavors and explorations, and their five children, Buddy Roemer and wife Scarlett, Margaret Roemer Lefler, Danny Roemer and wife Judy, Melinda Roemer Barrett and husband Michael, and Melanie Roemer Melville and husband David; seventeen grandchildren; and thirty-six great-grandchild-ren: teachers, doctors, nurses, lawyers, farmers, preachers, financial planners, bankers, workers, students, managers, executives, writers, artists, singers, merchants, politicians, business owners, mothers, fathers, friends-all got their start from this marriage, and, in part, from this man. All treasure and will miss his bold character, humor and wit, razor-sharp mind, passion for life, and his ever-present compassion for those in need of a helping hand. A brother-in-law, Henry Read of New Orleans, and a host of nieces and nephews, and special family Charlton Lyons III, Cookie Demler Roemer, Patti Marchiafava join in celebrating this unique life. A depression-era farm boy, he was born December 11, 1923. He was raised by his mother and stepfather Maggie and Vernon Mayer. "Budgie" is what Adeline always called him. It means "a small bird, like a parakeet". He volunteered and served in the Army Air Corps in WW II, attended Louisiana Tech University, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Louisiana State University. He married his high school sweetheart, Adeline. While attending LSU he worked as a welder in construction of the Esso (now Exxon) Refinery in Baton Rouge. While he lived an incredible life, difficult to describe even in a multi-volume biography, some endeavors highlight a sense of the man. Over the decades, he and Adeline worked together in all their activities, but were farmers first of all. They also worked with LSU to introduce a new cotton variety across the South, Stardel Cotton, first grown at Scopena Plantation and the LSU Red River Valley Experiment Station. Their specialty in agriculture was the introduction of the cultivation of hybrid seed corn on a massive scale with its detasseling, storage, and drying requirements. They owned an International Harvester equipment dealership and owned and operated two cotton gins. They grew cotton, corn, soybeans, sunflowers, tomatoes, geese, cattle, and owned a dozen airplanes to control insects on their crops and that of their neighbors. They helped organize rural electric cooperatives to bring electricity to the "unprofitable" rural areas of Louisiana. They battled for Rural Electric Administation cooperatives in congressional hearings and in the corridors of Congress, at the White House, in the Louisiana Legislature, and in the offices of Louisiana and Texas governors to get it done and done right. Throughout America, senior members of the REA Movement remember Charlie and Adeline Roemer with thankfulness. Living in the deep south in the 50's and 60's, a time of racial segregation by law and of many other racial abuses, Budgie was a strong and outspoken advocate of civil rights for minorities. He lived what he preached, welcoming black leaders to break bread with him and his family week after week at his home on the farm in Bossier Parish. He encouraged minorities to run for political office and supported them openly when they did. For this he was at times physically threatened. He refused to compromise, change or back down from his views on equality, which he found in the Declaration of Independence. "All men are created equal." His civil rights commitment was so deep that he chose his political candidates on this shared value above all others. Thus, he chose to support Congressman Edwin Edwards in a long-shot run for governor in 1970-71. He helped manage that campaign for governor operating from the Monteleone Hotel in downtown New Orleans, utilizing many political innovations for Louisiana campaigns, including computer software that provided constant polling of issues and their relative strengths, and a get-out-the-vote targeting strategy using telegrams sent to certain registered voters 48-hours prior to the election. After Edwards' narrow victory at the end of 1971, Roemer accepted the duties of Commissioner of Administration, serving for eight years. He vowed to protect the vulnerable and non-powerful and to bring the management and operations of state government into better focus and discipline. And he did - from the Superdome to the higher education system. Although at times controversial, he was known to be swift and fair in his management decisions on behalf of the Edwards' Administration. There is not a parish in Louisiana where the mention of the name "Roemer" does not elicit a question, "You any kin to Charlie Roemer?". If the answer is "yes", you get back a big smile and two words of gold, "Good Man". The butcher-block supper-table at Scopena is famous for the political meetings with visiting candidates coming to seek the support of family and friends around the table. What is not well known are the countless hours of debate around the table among family members and friends about the direction of the state and the country. At this same table, the family would plan their annual tour of the National Parks of America in the Lower 48 after the cotton crop was laid by in summer. Budgie always drove, with the five kids in the back seat. They drove from lower Mexico to Canada, from San Francisco to Boston. Summer after summer, driving to see America, two in front, five in back. No superhighways, no airplanes, no campers, no RVs, just a twelve to twenty-five dollar a night room for seven in a motel, cash, no credit cards, no reservations, gasoline at 35 cents a gallon, and a Studebaker, then, a Buick Roadmaster. Budgie loved LSU football, driving the whole family to every home game in the 50's, 540 miles roundtrip, Highway 71 to Highway 1 and 190 and over the bridge and back again, day game or night, Methodist Church bright and early the next morning. He loved movies and the family tried to go once every week, before television. He loved to read and passed that love to his children. His home is still lined with books-on every subject, a farm library. He got great enjoyment out of playing cards and games, from Russian Bank to Canasta. He taught his kids how to play Poker and was the "Master" of the universe. With a steely expression and a mind for numbers, he seemed unbeatable. He was just as interested in showing his grandchildren and great-grandchildren how to play some of those games and enjoyed playing them until his concentration departed as a result of his disease. He supported everything his children were involved in, from education to sports, to plays, and rarely missed their activities. Most of all he loved tennis, built a concrete court in the front yard, had the weirdest slices and left-handed shots, and the family doubles matches are still remembered with tears and laughter. As a family, we want to give a heartfelt thank you to the special care Budgie received over these past long months: St. Joseph's Hospice, especially Karen, Mandy, and Nancy; All About Care Home Services, especially Roger, Jaysen, Annie, Belinda, Kay, and Tina; Vaneshia; longtime friends, Josie, Idella, Donna, Joe Louis; Harmony House Hospice.
