Thought I would never see myself that young. Thank You for publishing this memory.
Anthony Long
Anthony Long, are you Evelyn Cambre’s brother. If so, I’m Charlotte Ducros, Paul & Lorraine’s daughter. Please email me and let me know if I’m correct.
Hello,
Is it possible to post the entire photo? Thanks! 🙂

Unfortunately, This is the only portion of the Corpus Christi boys’ choir of 1948 that The Louisiana Weekly included in its article.
