Adrian Lyles Hanna, age 90, passed away on July 31, 2020, at his home in San Diego, California, where he and his late wife, Nancy, had resided for over 40 years.
The year was 1998. The month was December. Think back with me if you will to the days just before Christmas. Remember the massive ice storm that turned northern Louisiana into props for Ice Capades?
DEAR HARRIETTE: My roommate borrowed an umbrella from me one day and never returned it. I kept asking for it back, but I was not too concerned because it had not rained, so I did not need to use it.
Just over a week later, Ruston and Lincoln Parish are unquestionably marked by Hurricane Laura, the first storm to ever retain hurricane-level force long enough to reach our area this far north.
