After this afternoon's PolioPlus workshop, where John and Sue Behrendt of Litchfield received special recognition for their contribution to polio eradication, Barbara and are playing hooky from the closing plenary session. Instead we are amidst a crowd of local residents gathered in Lafayette Park for an open air concert sponsored by the New Orleans Saints and others. The U. S. Navy Brass Band of New Orleans was the warmup act, and the featured artist will take the stage soon.
