He is a much beloved Archbishop of New Orleans and was head of the New Orleans Archdiocese from 1965 to almost 1990. He is 92 years old and still going strong, running a public television station and still tending to his flock.
He was a paratrooper in World War II with the 82nd Airborne Division and is a true leader.
He stayed in the television studio in Metairie during Hurricane Katrina to protect it from looters--a truly remarkable man.
