Notes for Dalton Luke LABORDE

Dalton Luke LaBorde moved his family from Marksville to Leesville, LA
about 1942 where he opened a bar room for the servicemen at Fort Polk.
He also built a huge filling station and tire shop with an entire house
on top in which the family lived. We moved to Baton Rouge about
1946-47. In Baton Rouge he began buying tracts of property and building
subdivisions. On the west side of the Mississippi River, he built a
couple of large lounges. He also had a large juke box route at all the
places in Baton Rouge and West Baton Rouge. That was fun, as a teenager
I would go with Mama to count the money and change the records in the
juke boxes to the newest ones.

I guess there are a lot of interesting stories from the 30's, 40's, and
50's!
