re: Krewe of Comus...How do you join? Who are the members?

Desi was almost white.The black power shifted to the projects and lower class black neighborhoods. Central City and the ninth ward/ NO East elect the mayor. Plus Latoya got her name out early. She had signs up on billboards fully a year before the election.

The 7th Ward Creole types have lost favor amongst the African Americans. It was hard to get a Creole elected.JP Morrell was the exception for the AtLarge seat. That being said, JP is probably the most competent to be mayor. Helena Moreno is effective in getting things done.

I still can't comprehend how she, seemingly good candidate with old school Nola family, lost (and bigly) to Compton ape face.

Because her brother, Bunny, went to the Marc Morial School of Shakedown Corruption Politics.

It's hard to tell if Desi is actually a good person, or if she only appears to be a good person because Bunny does all the dirty work.

Back then it had a mix of old uptown Catholic families and some Metairie and Best Bankers sprinkled in. 98% white boys.

Also in those days there was a contingent of Jewish students.

DLS and the Jewish Community Center across the street had a good relationship. When I was there in the '70s I had a few classes in the JCC. DLS also used the JCC swimming pool.

I also remember that in one of my religion classes we took the streetcar to Touro Synagogue and the Rabbi spoke to us and explained the similarities and differences between Catholicism and Judaism.
