Fittingly enough, Don was born in New Orleans on Mardi Gras Day, February 6, 1951, the son of Clelie Bartholomew Busha and Frederick Joseph Busha. He attended St. Catherine of Siena and graduated from Rummel High School. At a young age, Don found his passion was people which encompassed marketing, business, and sales. From a stockroom boy at Halpern's Fabrics to a regional manager, he continuously improved his skills. While working at Halpern's, Don furthered his education at the University of New Orleans in the field of marketing. In 1975, Don's dreams came true. He married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Enola Marie Byrd. Shortly thereafter, Don and Enola opened their first business, Thread and Bobbin, which was in the Halpern's store. Don then moved to Cloth World and, as the general manager of the most profitable store in the chain, he built the most successful marketing program Cloth World had ever seen. After being called to corporate to help with global marketing strategies, Don again felt the urge to branch out on his own. In 1987, Don, along with his wife, sister, and brother-in-law, opened Sew Smart Fabrics in Metairie which was an instant success, thanks to Don's marketing abilities. Brides and housewives flocked to the store to get the latest fashion fabrics for their wedding gowns, bridesmaids dresses, and custom draperies. After taking a vacation to the Smoky Mountains and realizing he never wanted to limit his potential, Don and his family decided to relocate to Sevierville, Tennessee in 1994. Don started in the real estate business and quickly rose to the top. After being in the field for only two years, Don became the #1 selling real estate agent in Sevier County from 2000 through 2007. It was during this time that he began his business, #1 Realty Group, Inc. With his vigor for life, he ran a wildly successful marketing campaign that thrust him to the top. At the pinnacle of success, Don was diagnosed with a rare type of aggressive cancer. After being told he had only a few weeks to live, Don sought care at MD Anderson where he was blessed with a team that helped him beat the odds and enjoy over two more years of quality life. Throughout it all, he retained his great sense of humor, his love of travel, and his commitment to family. Don always had an infectious laugh, a perpetually positive attitude, and a larger-than-life personality. Anyone who met him would instantly feel drawn to him. Don has touched and inspired many people, including his doctors and caregivers, even in his last days. In fact, his last words were, "Fight Back." Don is preceded in death by his parents, Frederick and Clelie Busha, his brother, Frederick Busha, Jr., and his maternal grandparents, Amelia and Adolph Bartholomew. He is survived by his wife, Enola Byrd Busha; children, Ainsley Busha Freshour (R. Tyler Freshour), Donald Anton Busha II, Austin Frederick Busha; grandchildren, Eliana Freshour, Lillian Busha, N. Teague Freshour; sister, Janet Busha Dressler (Gary Dressler); nephews, Chad Busha and Alexander Dressler.

Times Picayune **************************************** 000130 CARINO Virginia Sherwood Carino, 87, died peacefully in her sleep on October 7, 2012, from complications related to Alzheimer's Disease. She was born in Palo Alto, California on April 28, 1925. She was a proud graduate of Stanford University where she majored in theater. Ginny was an extremely talented person. She acted in many dramatic productions and even some small movie roles. Her television career began as Miss Ginny on Romper Room at WWL-TV, New Orleans. She then began her news career and was the first female correspondent for ABC-TV assigned to the White House during the Nixon and Ford administrations. Mrs. Nixon and Ginny had a wonderful relationship. Mrs. Nixon called Ginny "her little sister". After leaving ABC-TV, she began a most successful career as a communications coach specializing in working with television news on- air personnel, corporate executives, and political candidates. In this area, she coached individuals on the best way to deliver their newscasts; she coached corporate executives on making speeches -- both ad lib and written, and Ginny worked miracles with some political candidates who needed help on their speaking ability and TV commercials. She was as determined in her leisure as she was in her work enjoying many years finding perfect ball placement on the tennis court, slicing beautiful paths on freshly groomed ski slopes and finding the sweet spot on the golf club. She was the envy of many golfers in scoring a hole-in-one on the Palo Verde golf course in Sun Lakes, Arizona. She also was a terrific cook and later in life discovered her talent in watercolor painting. She was always trying to help people in any way that was needed. Ginny was addicted to her families, spending time with them as well as watching them choose career paths and become independent adults themselves. Her greatest joy was the love and years she shared with her husband Larry who believes that God created a wonderful, loving, talented, giving person, and that God was at His peak when He created her life. Virginia is survived by her husband Larry, daughter Melissa Davis (Ron), and stepchildren Donald Carino (Doris), Carolyn Smith (James), Lawrence Carino (Hong), Arthur Carino (Donna), Susan Nystrom (Dennis), Janine Montgomery (Douglas), Marcia Carino (Rick Koeneman), and Teresa Carino. She was the grandmother of 28 and great-grandmother of 31. She is predeceased by her sons David and Paul. She was also "mom" to many television anchors and reporters whom she coached throughout her career. A memorial service to celebrate her life was held in Sun Lakes, Arizona. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Mayo Clinic for Alzheimer's Research or the Alzheimer's Association. Times Picayune **************************************** 000131 CARLSON Edward C. Carlson, Sr Born 1923 in New Orleans to Louise C. Carlson (Calamari) and Charles C. Carlson, whom together in 1926, built, owned, and operated WJBW, one of the first radio stations in New Orleans. Edward literally grew up with radio being produced in his front living room. His early memories were stepping over live cables in the living room. While his mother handled the disc jockey chair live, his father did behind scenes production and engineering. Edward sold advertising and time on the radio and helped run the family business. He graduated high school from the Gulf Coast Military Academy in Gulfport, Mississippi. The day after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, he signed up to defend his country and become a member of the elite fighting forces called the Scouts and Raiders, which later became the U.S. Navy Seals. He attended Tulane University and later, after the war, Edward completed his business degree at LSU. He then attended television-broadcasting school in New York City. He worked for NBC studios producing television shows, but longed to return home to New Orleans. After moving back to his hometown, he ran the family radio station until the early 1960's. He worked for WWL and WYES in sales and was the Sales Manager at WVUE-TV before eventually becoming a real estate broker. Whether it was radio, television, or real estate, Edward was a great salesman. While expanding his experience in real estate in the early 70's, he met a young entrepreneur named Al Copeland who was just getting started with his third location for Popeye's Fried Chicken. Al and Ed became instant friends and Al hired him on the spot. Ed personally handled all real estate for Al Copeland and for the Popeye's Corporate until the company was acquired in the early 1990's. Ed and family are still Popeye's franchisee owners in the Greater New Orleans area. Ed was married twice to Bonnie Keathley Carlson and then Darlene Aloha Anatolia. He is survived by seven children, Teri Ann Carlson, Jann Carlson-Duchmann, Edward C Carlson Jr., Kristina Ann Carlson, Charles C Carlson II, Earle Richard Carlson, Robert John Carlson. Also survived by seven grandchildren, Amanda Jatem Fisher, Gerald Bair Carlson-Duchmann, Meridith Louise Carlson, Jarithza Kassandra Carlson, Ithzel Bereniece Carlson, Lucia Malena Carlson, Camila Gabriela Carlson and two great grandchildren, Amyiah Jatem Fisher, Charley Mckenna Fisher.

Terrel, 74, traded life for eternity surrounded by his family on Friday, October 26, 2012, after a long and courageous battle with stroke-related illness. Terrel was the second child born to Mary Bernardine Conant Delphin and Terrel Alphonse Delphin, Sr., on March 17, 1938, in Melrose, Louisiana. He was preceded in death by his parents. Terrel was a devout Catholic and a member of the St. Augustine Catholic Church where he was very active in his church community during his well years. He was a member of both the Knights of Peter Claver, Council 100, and the St. Augustine Holy Name Society. The desire to protect and promote the beautiful Cane River area led to his involvement with the St. Augustine Historical Society for which he served as president. His impassioned plea to the Louisiana Board of Regents led to the establishment of the Louisiana Creole Heritage Center at Northwestern State University for which he served as Chairman of the Advisory Council. He assisted in developing an ethnographic study of the Cane River Creole community for the National Park Service, served on the state committee for the National Register of Historic Places, the Heritage Area Commission for the Cane River Creole National Park, for which he served as co-chair, and was a board member of the Natchitoches Parish Tourist Commission. He earned his place in history as the "Father of the Creole Renaissance-Resurrection" as seen in the LPB documentary, "The Spirit of a Culture - Cane River Creoles". As special tribute to his abilities to cross cultural lines and encourage multicultural interaction was paid by the city of Natchitoches who declared March 29, 1997 as "Terrel Delphin Day". He received the Creole Center's "Historic Preservation Award" in 1999 and 2003. The Natchitoches Police Jury presented him with the "People's Involvement Award" for his work in Creole heritage preservation. "Cane River Mayor" was Terrel's most recent honor bestowed. In his last quest, he worked to establish the "Civil Rights Hall of Fame" in Natchitoches. He truly believed that the African-American community in Natchitoches has a significant history of leadership and achievements that should be recognized. On May 6, 2011, Terrel was presented with an "Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters" degree by Northwestern State University, for his work in bridging cultural and racial gaps through multi cultural education, harmony, and cooperation. He also received the award, "Natchitoches Treasure 2007", in February, 2008. Terrel, or "Brother", as we called him, was in law enforcement in Natchitoches parish for 18 years. A career change was made in 1980 when he became a part of the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, in which he held many positions, and rose to the esteemed position of Assistant Commissioner for the Office of Animal Health Services. He retired from state service in 2005 and became employed as coordinator for the Office of Homeland Security and the Office of Emergency Preparedness in Natchitoches.

Times Picayune **************************************** 000242 DUNBAR Patricia Dunbar received her wings on October 9, 2012 and has now embarked on the next phase of her incredible journey. Patricia was born in Andalusia, Alabama, Jan 27, 1934. Her parents were Justice Mac and Kate Barron. She is survived by her husband Sam B. Dunbar Jr. of New Orleans, her son Sam B. Dunbar III (Trey), her daughter Patricia Dawn Dunbar (Tree), and her granddaughter Jasmine Siemer Dunbar, all three of Santa Cruz, California. Patricia traveled far over the course of her life, starting in a small rural Alabama town before coming to Louisiana as a young woman. Her husband recognized how special she was the first time he met her and his courtship of her led to a marriage of 58 years. Over the course of their marriage Sam's love and support always sustained her. Patricia's life was committed to spiritual exploration, learning and teaching. Her guiding vision was to "be with people as deeply as possible". In her early years she authored two books for the Women's Missionary Union of the Southern Baptist Convention, and served as president of the local organization at First Baptist Church of New Orleans. Her quest soon broadened as she explored a myriad of traditions and the intersection of spirituality and psychology. Patricia's journey led to being a psychotherapist in private practice for 40 years. She was one of the founders of the Yokefellow Center, a holistic learning center in New Orleans. In 1988 she created the Journey School, an intensive study combining spiritual and psychological practices, which she conducted for 18 years. She also created and led the Inner Journey Home program, starting in 2006, deepening the study of the connections between spirituality and psychology. Patricia brought presence, deep listening, and inquiry to her work and relationships. She was always an avid learner and searcher-exploring for herself first, and then leading others into the freedom to be who they are. Patricia was a spiritual warrior, a guide, an advocate, a friend and a teacher, but through it all she never stopped being a student herself. Patricia was a graduate of Jean Houston's Training Program for the Cultivation of Human Capacity, a student of the Diamond Approach and a beloved member of Women With Wings and Mystics in Training. Patricia's exploration of the mystery will now continue from a different realm. Her presence will be deeply missed, and all of us whose lives have been touched by her wish her Godspeed on her new journey. A memorial service will be held December 8 and interment will be at Lake Lawn Cemetery. Donations can be made in her name to Evergreen Cove, PO Box 744, Easton, MD 21601, a holistic learning center founded by her dear friend and co-leader of Journey School and Inner Journey Home, Sarah Sadler.

They were married in January, 1943, days after his graduation from the U. S. Military Academy at West Point. She became an exemplary military wife, traveling widely with her family and living all over the world - Alaska, Japan, Okinawa, and Italy. Her cheerful and optimistic spirit helped the frequent moves become adventures, rather than uprootings, and with her warm and loving personality, she made friends for life at each location. She received her A.A. degree at Monterey Peninsula College in Monterey, California. Her favorite assignment in their military life was three years in Naples, Italy, where two of her children graduated from high school and the family enjoyed numerous trips throughout Europe.

She volunteered as treasurer in several of the groups, and served as Genealogical Records Chairman for the Spirit of '76 chapter of the DAR. She loved her family above all else and was a beloved wife, mother, aunt, and grandmother. Virginia was passionate about preserving historical photos, records, and family history, loved gardening, and had great fun researching genealogy on numerous trips in both the United States and Europe. She is survived by her loving husband, Edmond L. Faust, Jr.; by three devoted children, Edmond L. Faust, III (and Judy), Judith Faust (and Tracy Farmer), and Olive Elizabeth Faust (and S. Frazer Rankin); by five grandchildren who brought great joy to her, Edmond L. Faust, IV, Jeffrey Arthur Faust (and Katrina), Kimberly Brooke Dorsey, Heather Lynne Dorsey, and Cristina Marie Faust Mueller (and Ethan Nosowsky); by two great-grandchildren, Matthew Faust and Gabriel Glover; and by numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

After a stay at a "displaced persons" camp in Berlin, she immigrated to the United States in 1949 and took the train from New York to New Orleans in 1950.

She was President and member of the New American Social Club, the Jewish Community Center, Hadassah, National Council of Jewish Women and Shir Chadash Conservative Congregation.

He was born in Olesyzce, Poland , and was ninety-one at the time of his death. In 1939, at the beginning of World War II, Henry's hometown was occupied by the Soviet Union. He was sent to a Soviet gulag for two years, but was released when the Soviet Union became an Allied nation. He joined the Polish army where he rose to the rank of lieutenant and fought from Lenino in Russia, across Poland, to the outskirts of Dresden, Germany. After the war, Henry followed his childhood sweetheart Eva, also a Holocaust survivor, to Sweden, where they were married. They later relocated to the United States and eventually settled in New Orleans. For many years, Henry and Eva Galler devoted themselves to teaching over 600,000 students about their experiences during the war, offering lessons on respect and tolerance with the goal of eliminating prejudice. They traveled across the Deep South conducting hundreds of workshops and presentations in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. The story of Henry and Eva and their small town in Poland is the basis for teaching the Holocaust in many schools across the United States. Henry was a member of Congregations Chevra Thilim, Anshe Sfard and Touro Synagogue in New Orleans, and Shaare Tefilla in Dallas. He was a member of the Lee E. Thomas Masonic Lodge 421 and named 'worshipful master' in 1976. He was a 32nd degree Mason and a Jerusalem Temple Shriner. He was president of B'nai B'rith in New Orleans, as well as the Zionist Organization of America, New Orleans Chapter, and the New Americans Social Club, a group of Holocaust survivors. He also served on the boards of the Jewish Endowment Foundation and the Uptown Jewish Community Center. He received many civic honors, including the Key to the City of New Orleans and the Distinguished Volunteer Award from Tulane University's Southern Institute for Education and Research. Over many years, Henry Galler's tailor shop, 'Mr. Henry Custom Tailor' on St. Charles Avenue and later Jackson Avenue, served as a hub of political and social activity in New Orleans. Everyone knew Mr. Henry for his warmth and generosity of character; his smile lit up the room, and the twinkle in his eye was legendary. He was an eternal optimist. After Katrina destroyed their South Johnson Street home, the Gallers moved to Dallas, Texas. Henry Galler was laid to rest on Monday, October 15 at Sparkman/Hillcrest Memorial Park Cemetery in Dallas beside Eva, his beloved wife of fifty-nine years, who died in January 2006. Henry Galler is survived by his three devoted daughters, Janina Galler of Boston, MA, Marilynn Wohlstadter of Dallas, TX, and Linda Galler of Port Washington, NY; his three sons-in-law, Burton Rabinowitz, David Wohlstadter and Murray Singer; and eight grandchildren: Loren, Arielle and Danielle Galler Rabinowitz; Justin, Eric and Clara Wohlstadter; and Jake and Scott Singer.

While Multiple Sclerosis claimed her young life, it could not diminish her interminable spirit and commitment to painting. Amy continued to create art, even in her final days. Born to Edwin (Mickey) Palmer III and Diana Nebel Palmer on April 16, 1975, Amy showed an interest in the visual arts from an early age. Inspired by trips with her mother to the New Orleans Museum of Art and equipped by her father with as much paper as she could draw on, Amy began painting her own world on paper at 3 years old. Amy continued to hone her craft, attending painting classes as a child, then the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts in high school, and finally the Savannah College of Art and Design. Not content only to create her own art, Amy believed that that everyone has the capacity for creative expression. As a teacher, she loved inspiring children to create their own masterpieces. Even in the final years of her illness, Amy would insist that visitors contribute to the painting she was currently working on. Amy is survived by her mother Diana, father Mickey, sister Leigh, brother-in-law Jeremy, nephew Jude, and too many devoted friends and family members to name.

Ben was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was also a terrific neurologist, teacher and researcher who will be missed greatly by everyone who knew him. Ben was born in Philadelphia on Aug 5, 1945, raised by his parents Sylvia and Dr. Albert Seltzer, and received his undergraduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa honors society. He earned his medical degree at Jefferson Medical College and received his neurology training at Tufts and Harvard and his fellowship training under the world's pioneer in cognitive and behavioral neurology, Dr. Norman Geschwind. Following several years as a medical school faculty member at Harvard and Tufts, Ben moved to New Orleans in 1988, where he was Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at the Tulane University School of Medicine. Ben loved New Orleans and would have remained there for the rest of his life, were it not for Hurricane Katrina and the closure of his department in 2006. After returning to Harvard Medical School for several years, Ben was recruited to direct the Center for Alzheimer's Disease and Cognitive Disorders at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona, where he became one of the researchers in the Arizona Alzheimer's Consortium. He was a dedicated physician, who played leadership roles in the clinical care of patients with Alzheimer's disease, and in clinical research studies seeking to find better treatments for the disorder. He loved working with his colleagues, residents and medical students. Ben was an author of almost 100 scientific articles and book chapters, and he traveled widely giving over 700 talks and lectures. He loved his patients, and he valued the chance to contribute to the human condition. He was a sweet man, who enjoyed running and Yoga classes, was fully or partially fluent in seven languages, loved traveling, and had numerous hobbies. He was a lifelong collector of all sorts, including stamps, maps, postcards, and art, and his most prized possession may have been his far-reaching collection of autographs, which he had accumulated since childhood. He kept a list of every book he had read since the age of 12, and there were many. Ben is survived by his wife Natalie, 93 year-old mother Sylvia and sister Dr. Marjorie Stanek, his children Daniel, Jennifer, Peter, and Nathan, his daughter-in-law Beth, his grandchildren Edie and Theodore, and scores of patients, colleagues and friends.

Shirley was born on December 2, 1922 in New Orleans, Louisiana, but she resided most of her life in Houma, Louisiana. After becoming the "war bride" of Harry A Slater, the two remained in Houma and were married 63 years. Being a wife and mother meant everything to Shirley; and as her family grew to include grandchildren and great-grandchildren she readily made space at her famous Thanksgiving table, cooking Kosher turkeys and her delicious stuffing. An avid gardener, one could reliably count on Shirley to know the name of a beautiful and obscure flower or tree. Another passion of Shirley's was Irish Setters; she always had a calendar of this favorite dog hanging in her kitchen. Additionally, Shirley was an active member of Houma's small Jewish community, hosting Shabbat services and attending services around the community. She also was a member of Beth Israel Synagogue in New Orleans, LA and Hadassah. The last four years Shirley continued her commitment to Judaism as a resident in the William Breman Jewish Home in Atlanta, Georgia. Fortunately, family remained close-by to keep her company. She was as beloved by the Breman Home community as she was by her Houma community.

Although his body gave out, he retained his sense of humor, sharp mind, caring heart, and strong will until the very end. Gary was born at home on April 13, 1921, in Worcester County, Maryland, the only child of Edward Moody Taylor and Delta Parks Taylor. He grew up in bone crushing and often hungry poverty, but developed the grit and optimism that would characterize his entire life. After high school, his uncle Hargis Taylor loaned him the $600 he needed to enroll at Beacom Business College in Wilmington, Delaware, where he met his lifelong friend, Arlie Baker, and began his life's adventures. His first job as a stenographer led to their being posted to Panama, Alaska, and back to Panama. He eventually spent nine years as a shipping agent in the Canal Zone, and was drafted to his job there during World War II, serving in the army during the last year of the war. During that time he met Elizabeth (Penny) Pennington of Minneapolis, his match in charm, good looks, and intelligence, and he used his lottery winnings to buy her diamond engagement ring. They enjoyed a storybook marriage of 58 years until her death in 2002. After their first child, Dianne, was born, their idyllic life in Panama seemed too artificial for raising a family, so Penny and Gary decided to return to the United States. Though they had never even visited the city, they chose New Orleans as their new home because it was a port. It soon became apparent that a shipping agent's salary would not support the lifestyle they had enjoyed in Panama, so Gary started a new career selling hardware for Stauffer-Eshleman & Co. This led to a job offer to sell television sets for George H. Lehleitner & Co. He retired from there as Chairman of the Board and CEO in 1986. As the family grew to include five children, they moved to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, in 1953, and even through moves to Baton Rouge and back to New Orleans, Gary kept a home there for the rest of his life. He and Penny started a new business there, Southern Graphics, after his retirement. Gary's life was a vivid reflection of twentieth century America. Born into hardship, strengthened during war, sharing in the success of mid- century growth and contributing to the baby boom, he made sure no opportunity was wasted on him. His early experiences inspired a love of travel that would take him around the world and to six continents. He took his last trip to Europe at the age of eighty-nine and his last cruise at ninety. Though he and Penny had both grown up as only children of single mothers, they successfully created the family they always wanted. They proudly watched their son Gene serve Mississippi as its U.S. Congressman for twenty-one years, and their son Dean lead Tidewater Inc., a multinational corporation based in New Orleans. They were equally proud of their daughters Dianne Lindsay of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Sue Hampton of Denton, Texas, and Carol Lander of Dallas. Every one of their twenty grandchildren felt like their favorite. In addition to his five children and their spouses, Michael Derr of Baton Rouge, Marilene and Margaret Taylor of Bay St. Louis, Wade Hampton of Denton, and Bob Lander of Dallas, Gary is survived by his twenty favorite grandchildren, sixteen great grandchildren, and another on the way. He also leaves a beloved friend, Jean Magee of Bay St. Louis, who made his last years very happy. Most of all he leaves the legacy of how to live-with exuberance, generosity , and gratitude in good times and strength and resourcefulness in bad-and how to die-with love, optimism and courage. Visitation will be at St. Augustine Seminary Chapel, 199 Seminary Drive, Bay St. Louis, at 9:30 on Saturday, October 27th. Mass of the Christian Burial will follow at 10:30.

Glen was a devoted and loving father of Christopher Michael Vega and Julia Marie Vega. He loved his children with the same depth he loved his Lord and Savior; Jesus Christ. Glen's love for Christ gave him the strength to preach the word of God and seek out men who were in need of God's love and counsel. His commitment to Jesus Christ and his Catholic faith were unshaken, regardless of the cross Christ asked him to carry. Following his 2008 pilgramage to Medjugorje, Glen rediscovered his faith in Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church. This led Glen to become a founding member of both the Men of Mir (a ministry that spread the words and desires of the Blessed Virgin Mary) and the Men of Christ (a ministry focused on leading broken men back to God for His special healing). Glen's faith commitment was an inspiration to his many friends and family members. Glen is the beloved son of Marie Hagen Vega and the late Erwin Jose' Vega. Brother of Patricia A Vega (deceased), Gary J. Vega, Rick H. Vega, Cathy M. Vega, Lynne P. Vega (deceased), Denis E. Vega and Cindy Vega Racine. Brother-in-law to Jeannie W. Vega, Victoria P.

"Marge" was born June 18, 1940 in Buffalo, NY to Thomas and Norma Warder. The Warder family moved to Newport News, VA during WW II, and after the war moved to Southern California, where Marge grew up. She attended Pomona Catholic High School, but in 1956 the family moved to Joliet, Illinois due to her father's transfer in the glass manufacturing business. She graduated from St. Francis Academy and from there went to West Virginia University, obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in home economics. After two years as a stewardess for Pan American Airlines, where she travelled routes all over the globe, Marge went to work for TR Sills, an advertising agency in New York City where one of her first clients was Gatorade. She became adept at creating recipes and using the products of clients. With her engaging personality she positioned the products on live television in markets all across America. She also did the same for radio and placed food products through recipe and cooking tips in the print media as well. This experience in advertising eventually led to a position as Vice President of the broadcast department at the world-wide public relations agency of Burson-Marsteller. There Marge used her knowledge of on-air presentation and communications strategies to train leading public figures and executives for clients such as Merrill Lynch, Burger King, Owens- Corning Fiberglas, Johnson and Johnson, and many others when these companies found themselves in the news. In 1982 Marge went out on her own to form Warder Communications, utilizing her experience, skills, and contacts for an ever growing list of clients including Domino's Pizza, Thomas J. Lipton Company, Novartis, TRW and many others. She trained Olympic skiing legend Jean Claude Killy, physical fitness trainer Jack LaLane, Wendy's Founder Dave Thomas, and b aseball manager, Sparkey Anderson. In 2001 Marge opened a new chapter in her life moving to Tryon, North Carolina. She skied often, loved travel, and enjoyed hosting friends for dinner, but she had a life-long love of horses from the time she rode bareback in the orange groves of Southern California, to riding in Central Park, to joining two hunt clubs in Tryon. In Tryon she still kept active in the public relations business, even as she rode her beloved quarter horse, Monty, chasing foxes, and taking in rescued dogs. As a woman who achieved much in her field, she was sought after to speak to professional gatherings and was active in the Public Relations Society of America, the American Dietetic Association, Women Executives in Public Relations, among others. Marge kept in touch with her many friends from Joliet Catholic, West Virginia University, Phi Beta Phi sorority, and her friends at the various horse clubs she joined. When diagnosed with ALS two years ago, Marge moved to Metairie to be near her sister, Carrie. Although she came to Louisiana knowing only her beloved dog Katie, Marge found many compassionate and caring friends who touched her life, especially the wonderful staff at Sunrise Senior Living, Concerned Care Hospice, her loving caregivers from Home Care Solutions, and the many horses (and their owners) who visited her at Sunrise and who welcomed Marge to their farms. She is survived by her sister, Carolyn (Carrie) Bartlett, and her brothers Thomas and Michael. A memorial social will take place Saturday, October 13 at Sunrise of Metairie 3732 W. Esplanade from 2-4 pm. A memorial service and burial will be held at a later date in West Virginia.

George Walton Webb, P.E. 1923-2012 George Walton Webb, long-time professor at Tulane University and widower of Dorothy Maness Webb, passed away peacefully at his home in Houston on October 14, 2012. He was 89. George was born in July 1923 and raised in Uniontown, Alabama. He was the youngest of four children of Robert Leonidas Webb and Ethel Carr Webb. After their deaths, he was raised by his aunt and stepmother Sallie Carr along with her sister Annie Kathleen Carr and brother John Lilburn Carr. George earned a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in 1943 at the University of Alabama, where he was inducted into Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society and Phi Delta Theta fraternity. George was a lifelong fan of Alabama football and was very happy to see Alabama reclaim the national championship this past January. George served in the U.S. Army in World War II. After completing Engineering Officer Candidate School at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, he served as a lieutenant in the 3061st Engineer Company, first in France and Belgium in the Rhineland Campaign and then in the Luzon Campaign in the Philippines. His wartime decorations included the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with Bronze Star, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with Bronze Star, American Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal and Philippine Liberation Ribbon. After leaving active duty George continued to serve in the Corps of Engineers as part of the Army Reserve, from which he retired in 1983 with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He was a member of The Retired Officers Association (now the Military Officers Association of America). After the war George earned a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering at Columbia University in 1947. He worked for General Electric in New York and New England before becoming a professor of electrical engineering, first at the University of Alabama and then for 37 years at Tulane University in New Orleans. As a professor, he was known for teaching practical courses, especially the electric machinery lab; for his bow ties (since neckties would be dangerous around rotating machinery); and for his somewhat corny jokes, which he would try out on his family at the dinner table before using in class. During his Tulane career George also worked as a consulting engineer for Denson Engineers and later Davies Engineering (now Excel USA) designing electrical systems for industrial structures. He also served as an investigator and expert witness on electrical fires and accidents. George was a registered Professional Engineer in Louisiana and a member of the Louisiana Engineering Society. He was a Senior Life Member of the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers and had been a member of its Power Engineering and Industrial Applications societies. George retired from Tulane in 1993 and moved with Dorothy to Houston in 1995. He served for several years as a volunteer at the Sgt. Macario Garcia Army Reserve Center. He had a lifelong passion for his workshop and home projects and for puzzles of all kinds, which he continued to enjoy until earlier this year. George was predeceased by his siblings Robert Leonidas Webb Jr. in California, Jane Fox Webb Powe in Alabama and Charles Carr Webb in Texas; his son-in-law Paul Crist; and his beloved wife Dorothy. He is survived by his daughter Ann Elizabeth Webb and granddaughter Elizabeth Grace Crist in Houston; his son George Walton Webb III and daughter-in-law Susannah Koontz Webb in Houston; and his nephews, grand-nephews and grand-nieces in Texas, Alabama and California. The family extends profound thanks to the staff of CareTemps care agency and Hospice Compassus, who made it possible for George to spend his last months comfortably at home. George will be buried with military honors at Houston National Cemetery on Friday, October 26, 2012 at 10:00 AM.
