Thomas Michael Lafitte

  Thomas Michael Lafitte, 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. James E.
Lafitte of Shreveport, and the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace
DeLatin, and Mrs. Leta Davis of Many, died Tuesday, June 22, as the
result of a car wreck.

  The wreck happened between Logansport and Shreveport, Monday, June
21. Lafitte and two other companions were headed home from the lake,
and met a pickup truck pulling a boat. The truck was pulling back on
the road from the sides, and Lafitte swerved to keep from hitting the
truck, and went into the ditch. He and his two companions were taken
to the Confederate Memorial Hospital in Shreveport where Lafitte died
the following morning. The two other boys were not hurt seriously.

  Funeral services were held in Shreveport Wednesday, June 23, with
burial in the Forest Park West Cemetery.
