Outstanding fall meeting in Alexandria Saturday. About 35 in attendance. Thanks to NLHA Vice-President Jeffrey Owens for organizing the meeting and planning an amazing meal. Our speaker was Father Chad Partain, Chancellor of the Diocese of Alexandria and the pastor of St. Frances Cabrini Church. His presentation was based on his biography of Bishop Auguste Marie Martin, "A Tool Pushed by Providence," on the role of this Bishop in bringing Catholicism to North Louisiana. Attendees also toured the Bentley Hotel and the Cathedral of St. Francis Xavier. Some even made other history stops on the way home.

Special recognition to the board members who attended and the great showing by representatives of Northwestern State and Grambling State.

Contact us if you have a potential article for the North Louisiana History Journal or would like to recommend a site for our general membership spring luncheon.
