    I have always know that Donna Douglas was from Baton Rouge but I didn't know that she went to Redemptorist, so I posted it and then was confirmed by google.

    I went to Robert E. Lee HS in Baton Rouge. I am not famous. Can anybody name the most famous person who ever attended Lee?

    A black colleague told me today that Boosie is a cornerstone in Baton Rouge's cultural history. They weren't joking.

    Bingo! You win a blast from the air horn app on my phone. I was a couple of years ahead of Randy in high school and I didn't know him then. I got to know him later when he used to go to Chiefs on Highland Road when Chiefs had people like Stevie Ray Vaughn and othet great bands before they hit the big time.
