Waveland ?cool spot? 1950?s
The Waveland municipal pier at Coleman Avenue was a very popular spot for swimming and some fishing in the 1940-50 era. Photo is courtesy of Terry Duvieilh of Waveland and it was taken circa 1950 of his mother and two grandmothers. This photo was taken before sandbeach was pumped and water was to the edge of Beach Boulevard. Those in photo are from left, Edna Lotz Duvieilh, deceased grandmother; Gloria Bourgeois Duvieilh, mother of Chalmette; and Julia Bourgeois, grandmother of Metairie. The Duvieilh family had a summer cottage in the Town of Waveland and were frequent visitors. The Echo welcomes photos older than 25 years for publication and they will be returned to the owners.
