"Mother's Restaurant" in New Orleans, Louisiana. It's a Marine Corps thing.

"Mother's Restaurant" in New Orleans, Louisiana. It's a Marine Corps thing. Semper Fi. We loved it. Convenient to downtown. We walked everywhere. The food was great. The service was good and the place had real character. I felt like we part of history. 26Mar2014

Mother’s restaurant New Orleans Louisiana

401 Poydras St

New Orleans, Louisiana

(504) 523-9656

Authentic N'Awlins home-style cooking since 1938. The Amato family welcomes you for a taste of tradition.

http://www.mothersrestaurant.net/

Mother’s Restaurant opened its doors in 1938 on Poydras Street’s “Restaurant Row”, situated between a thriving waterfront and the courthouse. Owners Simon and Mary (Mother) Landry and his large family cooked up po’ boys for lines of longshoremen and laborers, newspapermen and attorneys.

During and after World War II, Mother’s became a local hang-out for “the few and the proud” – the U.S. Marine Corps. The Marine spirit was in the family – five of the seven Landry children (five sons and two daughters) joined the Marine Corps. Francis Landry was the first woman in Louisiana to be accepted into the Corps. This special association with the Marines earned Mother’s the title of “TUN Tavern New Orleans” in the late ’60s. The original TUN tavern was the official birthplace of the Marines during the Revolutionary War.

Mother’s is not just a part of this great American tradition, but also stands as a uniquely New Orleans institution. The likes of other family-owned local businesses such as D.H. Holmes Department Stores, K&B Drug Stores, MacKenzie’s Bakery, and Werlein’s Music have all departed from the landscape, while Mother’s Restaurant has not only remained almost exactly the same, but has flourished.

In 1986, the Jerry and John Amato bought Mother’s from the Landry’s sons Jacques and Eddie. With the changing of the guard, many things were added but nothing, fortunately, lost. Jerry Amato, chef and proprietor, doubled the already dizzying size of the menu. Now traditional New Orleans dishes like jambalaya and Shrimp Creole line-up next to the po’ boys that Mother’s made famous, such as the Ferdi Special and the debris po-boy (for a history of these and other sandwiches on the Fun Facts page). Breakfast, lunch and dinner items are cooked with fresh ingredients and bold, delicious flavor.

You will still see longshoremen in boots and you’ll find plenty of locals rubbing elbows in line with visitors, veterans, politicians and movie stars. Mother’s remains true to its working class origins. Nobody gets treated better (or worse) than anybody else. As Jerry Amato says, “Everybody gets fed. Everybody comes back.”

So go ahead, join ranks with the not-so-few, but intensely proud – the Mother’s crowd.

News from The Hill: Wall Street’s warning shot to Ryan - By Peter Schroeder and Bernie Becker

The banking industry's vigorous pushback against Rep. Dave Camp's tax reform plan is a warning shot for his likely successor, Rep. Paul Ryan.

Like most industries, Wall Street isn’t worried that Camp’s (R-Mich.) plan could move through Congress in an election year. Plus, Camp is scheduled to be in his last year with the gavel of the powerful Ways and Means Committee.

But the financial industry fears that Camp’s proposal to tax the nation’s biggest banks could someday make a comeback when lawmakers seek revenue generators for legislation.

By Mandy Meisner I say goodbye to someone special.

I wrote this eulogy for my grandfather. He was 85 when he died, in general good health, sitting at his kitchen counter reading the mail. His last few years were spent taking care of his wife who is living with Alzheimer's.

Brian Gilson had been part of my life for as long I've lived. From the day I came home through having children of my own, he had always been there. But the truth is, I hardly knew him. He lived a long time and was many things to many people, I was privy to knowing only a slice of what would make up his life, one version in a long evolution.

Female lawyers: Still must dress conservatively to impress judges.

Female lawyers: Still must dress conservatively to impress judges.:

Female Lawyers Who Dress Too “Sexy” Are Apparently a “Huge Problem” in the Courtroom

By Amanda Hess

[...]

"Judges who school female attorneys on how to dress are annoying, and the limitless choices of the female wardrobe are confusing. But having the opportunity to dress differently can also have its benefits. Lynn told Farmer that while a bold fashion choice was a risky move, it “could draw attention to you and away from your opponent” in a positive way.

A recent Harvard Business School study found that while dressing distinctly might compromise a person’s access to “shared group identity and automatic group trust,” it can also make her appear confident and influential. In 2009, a federal judge complained that he’d seen an attorney argue her case looking like she’d stopped in “on her way home from the gym.” Then again, that woman won her case. "

"March 22, 2014 A chaplain assigned to the Pentagon, told of an incident which happened right after Flight 77 hit that structure on 9/11.

The daycare facility inside the Pentagon had many children, including infants in heavy cribs. The daycare supervisor looked at all the children needing to be evacuated and was in a panic over what could be done. Most of the children were toddlers, with a number of infants as well who would need to be taken out with the cribs. There was no time to try and bundle the infants into their carriers and strollers.

As despair began to set in for the supervisor, a young Marine came running into the center and asked what they needed." Read more: http://www.examiner.com/article/marines-at-the-pentagon-on-9-11?CID=examiner_alerts_article

Jane Greenwood Stephan, office manager at Westminster and North Carroll High Schools, 89, of Westminster

Jane Stephan Office manager at Westminster and North Carroll High Schools

March 21, 2014 http://westminster.patch.com/groups/kevin-e-dayhoffs-blog/p/jane-greenwood-stephan-office-manager-at-westminster-and-north-carroll-high-schools-89-of-westminster

Jane Greenwood Stephan, 89, of Westminster, died Saturday, March 15, 2014 at York Hospital.

The family will receive friends on Sunday, March 23, 2014, from 1200 to 200p.m. at Pritts Funeral Home and Chapel, 412 Washington Rd., Westminster, chapel entrance.

According to an obituary for Jane Greenwood Stephan posted on Pritts Funeral Home web site in Westminster:

Mrs. Stephan was, “Born on May 22, 1924, in Rochester, New York she was the daughter of the late Margaretta and William Greenwood. She was the wife of the late Ralph Bish Stephan, who predeceased her in 2010.

She was a graduate of Westminster High School class of 1942.

She worked at Carroll Gardens in the 1950's as a bookkeeper and office manager.

She worked for the Carroll County Board of Education at both Westminster High School and North Carroll High School as an office manager, and at Central Office in the Finance Department.

She was also a bookkeeper for her husband's business, Westminster Exxon Service Center.

She was a member of St. Benjamin's (Kriders) Lutheran Church.

She enjoyed the beach, traveling, and taking bus trips.

Surviving her are daughter and son-in-law Susan J. and C. Edward Bollinger of Westminster; grandchildren Michele Bollinger and husband David Zirin of Takoma Park, Denise Bollinger-Manifold and husband Christopher Manifold of Ellicott City; and Bryan Bollinger and fiancé' Sarah Kiefer of Boston, Mass.; and several great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

To send flowers or a memorial gift to the family of Jane Greenwood Stephan please visit the Pritts Funeral Home Sympathy Store.”

Online the obituary may be found at http://www.prittsfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Jane-Greenwood-Stephan/#!/Obituary

++++++++++++++++++

Disclosure: Although I do not know when Mrs. Stephan worked at Westminster High School – for some reason, I remember her working there. I attended Westminster High School from 1968 to 1971; so I will be curious if I was in high school when she worked there.

As I grow older, I find that memories from approximately 45-years ago sometimes have lots of cobwebs. However many of my classmates such as George Welty, Ginnie Muse Schoenberger, Ron Zepp and Debbie Soper O'Hara always seem to remember these things better than I do.

This writer also worked at Carroll Gardens in the 1960s, several years after Mrs. Stephan worked there in the 1950s. Yet when I worked at Carroll Gardens almost 10-years after Mrs. Stephan worked there, she was still remembered with fondness for how well she did her job and that she was also very friendly. Everyone liked working with her.

I then farmed from 1974 to 1999. I raised nursery stock and did property management and landscape contracting - and Mrs. Stephan was one of my customers. She was a wonderful customer. She was nice, kind, attentive and friendly and always seemed so appreciative.

Mrs. Stephan was a wonderful asset in our community in so many ways. She will be greatly missed.

L'Wren Scott, and the awful truth about women's obituaries-Well written By Stassa Edwards March 20, 2014 Just saying

http://theweek.com//article/index/258258/lwren-scott-and-the-awful-truth-about-womens-obituaries

Coverage of the fashion designer's passing was just the latest example of a sad journalistic tradition

By Stassa Edwards March 20, 2014

When news broke that respected fashion designer L'Wren Scott had passed away on Monday, The New York Times noted her suicide with the regrettable headline "Mick Jagger's Girlfriend Found Dead."

The Times wasn't alone in its faux pas; the Associated Press dutifully tweeted, "BREAKING: Law enforcement: Mick Jagger' [sic] girlfriend, L'Wren Scott, found dead in NYC of possible suicide." Though the AP managed to slip Scott's name in the headline of the report, both news organizations seemed to agree: Scott's death was newsworthy only because of her romantic association with a legendary rock and roller. Editors at neither The New York Times nor the Associated Press seemed to grasp that Scott's untimely death was newsworthy because of her professional accomplishments.

One would think that after the stroganoff incident, the Gray Lady in particular would have found a better way to note the passing of accomplished women, but it clearly hasn't. The poor handling of Scott's death speaks more broadly to the difficulty of recounting a woman's life — namely the determination of a hierarchy of facts, a project that should seem gender neutral but rarely is. It often seems natural enough to define women by their relationships — wife, mother, girlfriend, etc. — and let famous men be memorialized for their accomplishments, their family lives taking a backseat. This was certainly the case with the aforementioned stroganoff incident, in which the Times' obituary writers downgraded Yvette Brill from rocket scientist to pretty good cook.
