Just got through watching the 1980s wbrz documentary surrounding Berry Seale and alleging massive govt corruption (which was likely the case). Anyway, it said he lived in an affluent Baton Rouge suburb and showed a pic of his house. Couldn’t find anything online. I’m thinking Baker (yes, this was once a nice area). Any old timers remember?

Yes!!! That house (they showed it) definitely would have fit in Lake Sherwood. Was obviously not an A. Hays Town original!

I'm sure I'm not going out on a limb to guarantee Hays Town didn't design any house in Lake Sherwood.

His brother Wendell lived on Hoo Shoo Too and was a boat mechanic. Owned the fastest speed boat in LA at the time. Wendell was a big boy and passed away in 2007.

The first movie about Barry Seal (played by Dennis Hopper) was a 1991 HBO movie. Dennis Hopper is simply a better actor than Tom Cruise. This portrayal should be viewed by all who have an interest in this story.

ETA: The movie is "Double Crossed".

How many brothers did he have.

I saw a brother of his when I was working at a dental office in BR in the fall of 2000. He said that he was a helo pilot and had been working fighting the California wild fires dumping fire retardants from his helicopter.

Which locally famous BR resident lived on Sherwood right before Old Hammond? 99% sure it was Billy Cannon.


ETA: Found it. 1640 Sherwood Forest Blvd.



quote:

Jul 14, 1983 — ''He lives in a nice home on Sherwood Forest Boulevard, fitting for a successful orthodontist. But, a big mansion on the hill? No,'' said Mr.

quote:

When Secret Service agents raided his home in the Sherwood Forest suburb of Baton Rouge on Saturday, July 9, 1983, Cannon was at the Fairgrounds horse track in New Orleans. He had seen the agents for months. They were on his cleats. He knew they were coming. He just didn't know when.

Cannon pleaded guilty to federal counterfeiting charges involving five others in a major operation that printed $6 million worth of $100 bills, many of which Cannon buried on some of his properties. He was sentenced to five years in prison in 1983.
