Yeah, he's a Mandeville guy. Graduated from Mandeville High. Went to school with him. He was a cool guy in high school. He was (is) a very talented guy. Used to recite some cool poems to the school. He was also a very down to ear guy. Seemed to like everyone and everyone like him. Not surprised by his success.

Duke lived in Beau Rivage.

His full last name is Vonkurnatowski (I can see why he shortened it for show biz) and his parents are big in New Orleans. They own the Orpheum Theater and Tipitinias.

Yup.
I knew him fairly well in highschool. We were in the YMCA jr leaders or some shite like that our freshman year to get a free membership over there so I used to pick him up or bring him home from time to time. I bumped into him back in his MTV haydays In Mandeville and he came out to a couple bars with us. He was always a pretty cool guy.
