PROGRESS COMES TO LUTCHER: The original, round wooden water tower came down in 1939 to make way for the new Lutcher water system. Senator Rodney Woods, Jr. announced in August of that year that the Lutcher waterworks plan neared reality thanks to 24 Lutcher citizens who agreed to purchase $7,950 worth of bonds to establish the waterworks system. Only $2050 more in bonds was needed to be sold and there were more people to contact. The 24 citizens who helped make the water project a reality were: Paulin Poche, T. J. Foret, Aloysius Bourgeois, Felix Nobile, A. G. Gearheard, Mrs. L. D. Prescott, Dr. Paul E. Johnson, Dr. Irving Gross, Oscar Reynaud, Rodney Woods, Jr., Dr. M. A. Tortorich, Sigur Martin, Durel Woods, A. D. Tramonte, Sam Corona, Frank Szubinski, W. J. Rouillier, Achille Bourgeois, Dr. A. J. Nobile, Gerald Viator, Sidney Bowman, A. L. Faucheux and George Reynaud.

Another swim season has washed away. The Invitational, which is the cap of the season, was a weekend of heat, rain, sun, lightning delays, and plenty of my favorite food group: concession stand food. Larayo’s “Let the Good Times Swim” Mardi Gras theme was carried out from start to finish. Countless parents and grandparents provided a fun space for the competition.
