She Said Bye, Bye When the Levee Was Dry


Her drawl is as captivating as her laugh is infectious. The manners of the Southern gentlewoman hark back to a gentler age, but don’t let her easygoing charm fool you. She’s smart as a whip and successful.

Years before Katrina, she left “nawlins.” She will soon live the life of a gypsy but unlike other “weeziana” natives will do so voluntarily to follow her dream. The Foreign Service is lucky to have her. Good luck, LD, we’ll miss you. © 2006 Stephen Yuen
