Opis

Upon graduating with a Bachelor's Degree, Miss Helen taught Special Education. She received her Master's Degree and advanced her career to becoming Regional Coordinator for Special Education with the Louisiana Department of Education. She was a business owner, and a talented Cajun entrepreneur. She was devoted to her children, grandchildren, and extended family. She cooked for Hollywood celebrities and Washington politicians. She consulted with restaurant owners and helped increase their business. She opened and operated three of her own restaurants. Read her life story to see how much this Cajun woman accomplished in her 93 years. The aim of Hey Miss Helen is to present the readers with interesting assessments of the rural life of a young lady reared in the 1920s and the capabilities of a decisive individual when boundaries were no limits. The personal accounts portray the author's analysis of a hard-working devoted soul as depicted by friends and relatives. Much attention is devoted to Miss Helen's life as it is surrounded by unrest and triumphs, but it is equally important to note the spirited relationships she developed throughout her life. In short, the author's reflection recounts her relationships to those of her past, her family, and the many people with whom she established memories throughout her life.
