Metairie is often considered the dull stepchild of New Orleans--a
concrete "Anywhere, USA" lined with shopping malls frequented by
fast-food eating, drive-up-daiquiri-drinking, cultureless
suburbanites. Despite stereotypical misconceptions, sons and
daughters of New Orleans who call Metairie home are every bit as
colorful, talented, devious, and gracious as their relatives in the
city. Johnny Wiggs kept New Orleans jazz alive. Verne Tripp
invented
"perma-press" and pioneered use of the electron microscope. On
Atherton Drive, David Ferrie plotted a Cuban coup. Peter Gennaro
left his father's bar to become a Broadway star. Shirley Ann Grau
raised her children here while writing novels. Al Scramuzza built a
crawfish empire and coached Metairie children. Ellen Degeneres
found national fame, while Becky Allen won our hearts at home.
Those who may not be widely known but have impacted lives in the
community and afar are also included in this book, which is a
tribute to the people of Metairie.
