Jim and Diane Boyer and son Scott and Rhonda have returned from a trip to New Orleans. Diane got to hold an alligator (she has pictures) and they took an airboat through the swamp. They visited the D Day museum, toured Jefferson Davis’s home, visited Oak Alley sugar cane plantation; the group ate a lot of good food and of course stopped at Café Dumonde.
