Urchins and a Tiger
Karen, Rob, Jodie, and Al Landry at LSU in 1960
After last week’s long post full of all kinds of details, I figure it’s time for something short and sweet. This photo has long been treasured in my immediate family. Mostly because it makes everyone laugh. It is a photo of my brothers and sisters a few months before I was born. And since I live in Baton Rouge, I appreciate it even more because they are at the tiger enclosure at LSU. Not the huge one that they have now, but the smaller one that was there in 1960. As you can see, the Landry family is all about comfort and practicality. I always wish I had been in this photo. Maybe if I had, I would have wished that I hadn’t! I’ve been told that the Landry kids look like urchins in this photo. Is that bad?
