自我介绍

I was born and raised here in Centerville, into the family of John Robert Sr. and Eva Simoneaux Luke. I am the youngest of thirteen children. My great great great Grandfather Antoine Luke arrived in America through the Port of New Orleans in the 1820's. His son John Baptist Luke like his father was a merchant marine selling dry goods in bayou country from his steam powered boat. I have always enjoyed story telling and story lessening. Preserving historic landmarks in my neighborhood with the St. Mary landmark society. Civil war history and battle sites in the area and the Old Spanish Trail. Birds of the south. Bird watching along the coast and in the Atachafalayah basin. The history of the Chitimachy Indians their casino and community. Local seafood and Cajun restaurants. Near by Lafayette and New Orleans. Unique bayous, lakes, swamps, marshes, bays and rivers to explore and fish in. The Saloman Northrop story and trail. The Bayou Teche canoeing trail. One of only 15 such trails in the United States. Oh, and we love dogs.
