re: What's the closest you or a family member has been to a part of history?

My great grandfather was close with Huey Long and an elected official for 16 years (4 terms) during Huey’s years. Our current seats in Tiger Stadium are about 35 rows up on east side as these were given to my great grandfather to look through binoculars to keep an eye on the LSU sideline as Huey was coaching.

Same great grandfather was in State Capital when Huey Long was shot, heard the shots and everything. My family about 10 years ago tracked down the typed out questioning from FBI with my great grandfather about what he saw that day and had it framed for my grandfather. He did see some unusual stuff that day.

Grandmother on other side was first woman to attend Tulane medical school. She was in a fraternity haha.
