Adras LaBorde
Adras Paul LaBorde, I (December 12, 1912 – March 6, 1993), was a reporter, managing editor, and columnist for the ''Alexandria Daily Town Talk'', the largest newspaper in Central Louisiana. His career stretched from the mid-1940s into the early 1990s. An authority on 20th-century Louisiana government and politics, he wrote some ten thousand columns under the title, "The Talk of the Town," a play on the name of the newspaper. LaBorde wrote about the strengths and the foibles of Louisiana's vast array of determined politicians.〔"Bordelonville native among six to be inducted into the Louisiana Political Museum and Hall of Fame January 28", ''Avoyelles Today'', January 4, 2012〕
==Early life and career==
LaBorde was born to Enos LaBorde, Sr. (1886–1962), and the former Lily Bordelon (1891–1955) in Bordelonville in Avoyelles Parish south of Alexandria, Louisiana. He graduated at an early age from Bordelonville High School.〔()〕 As a young man, he worked as a radio operator on a ship.〔()〕 Amid the isolation of the sea, he developed his interest in serious reading. Largely self-educated, LaBorde read encyclopedias and serious works of nonfiction to keep himself occupied and to improve his employment prospects.
He married Blanch Bordelon, also of Bordelonville, and they started a family. Later, while living in New Orleans, LaBorde did a newscast in French for radio station WWL. He also wrote a training manual on radio language for pilots, which was used by the military during World War II. The manual was called "Roger, Wilco."〔
During World War II, LaBorde served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Corps and stayed in the United States. Blanche and their two children (a daughter and son) accompanied him to his stations: San Antonio, Texas, Arkansas City, Kansas, and Abilene in Taylor County, Texas. A second son, their third child, was born after the war, when they had settled in Alexandria.〔
