I thought the Hale Boggs bridge was because of the Luling ferry accident.

You’re right, link attached.

I'm one of those brats as well. We're you around for the employee club days?

My goodness yes. $2.50 a month for family. Movies, bowling alley, swimming pools, six hole golf course. Got babysat all summer by local coaches in about eight sports. Life was good.
My dad worked there from 56-86. Purchasing. I worked two summers at Shell Chem with my late cousin (local Norco dentist). Each summer of work paid for complete year at USL including a couple of courses along McKinley at the Library and Keg. I do have this persistent cough but was around AO in the USAF. Who knows. It was grand in Norco. My Dad moved all the way to Destrehan later just before the big explosion.
Still have cousins there.
You lived near refinery?

Had family that lived on the refinery when it had housing. Lived on Wesco road until 70 when the plant was buying up all the houses and family moved to LaPlace. Went to Sacred Heart and started at St. Charles in that same year. Dad worked at the plant for 37 years and retired in 74 and that's when I started at UL.

I’m a 60s guy at UL. Lived on Goodhope St. My uncle Hyp LeBlanc lived on refinery. His son was dentist in Norco and Destrehan. His kids a widow still are in Norco.
First beer at Spillway bar (legal). Poboys and stuffed crabs at Corrine’s. Going to Coop making groceries.
Went to St. Charles Borromeo for elementary years. No Sacred Heart then. Can you still talk Norco? I lived in Reserve till 55, but I have trouble speaking Reserve now. You lose these languages if you don’t practice. Sorry.

A little. My brother was early 60's at Southwestern. Sister was three years earlier. Used to tell me about some of the places on the strip at that time. Came up for homecoming one year at McNaspy.

Just in time for me to buy a new truck in a couple months. Hopefully prices come down.

If tariffs are to force manufacturers to bring jobs back home that means that our higher wages, benefit costs and higher transportation dollars will keep prices high. And it will take time which means we just need to enjoy higher prices.
