Now, today we gonna have what you call a throwback Thursday. We throw it all the way back. Throw back to the college days. I ran across a dear friend, someone I’ve been known for quite some time, who I have not seen in so many years, and it’s just so pleasurable and enjoyable when I ran across her and see her. And now we’re doing a podcast together. What a wonderful day. I like to welcome Elaine Vidrine Robertson. Welcome to Count Time.

EVR
Greg introduced me to everyone as his little cousin. Greg LeFleur from Ville Platte, Louisiana.

LD
Greg and I have done several podcasts together. He’s supposed to be my lill sidekick, but I can’t catch up with him. I understand, but Greg, when you came on LSU campus, because she had a serious impact on everybody, because she had them green gray looking eyes that scared everybody. With a big butt. What a combination.

EVR
That was a track butt.

LD
Don’t mean to disrespect you, but that’s how everybody identified you.

EVR

LD
But you really was someone that you handled yourself and you handled your business. You didn’t play. First of all, where are you from originally?
