Continuing Mystery of the Cameron Parish Generators
I obtained the following document relative to those Rock 'n Rollin' Generators from Charorge's Misadministration last week:

"LAFOURCHE PARISH GOVERNMENT
LOCKPORT FIELD OFFICE

Cameron Parish Generators

On September 1, 2005, nine generators were brought to the Lockport Field Office from Cameron Parish.

On September 1, 2005, one 8000 North Star generator was issued to Ray Cheramie, but was later returned back to the Lockport Field Office, because is was determine to be broken.

On September 2, 2005 two 6500 North Star generators were issued to Ray Cheramie.

On September 2, 2005 Lynwood Benoit with maintenance came and said he had to window units for the Galliano Sheriffs Office and the Galliano Annex and he might need 2 generators to run them. No generators were issued to him.

On September 3, 2005 three generators were issued to Ray Cheramie.

Generators that were left at the Lockport Field Office and were not issued:
1 Titan 5500 generator was not issued.
1 Honda 5500 generator was not issued.
2 North Star 6500 generators were not issued.

On September 20, 2005, Cameron Parish came to the Lockport Field Office and picked up all 9 generators.

Thank you,
Wayne Bonvillain"

No! Thank you, Mr. Bonvillain! The only problem with this memo is not the answers it provides, but rather the questions it raises.

What did Mr. Cheramie do with the five generators he was "issued"? Were they used for a public purpose? If so, what was that public purpose? Did the Galliano Sheriff's Office and Galliano Annex ever get generators? Did any of the five generators "issued" to Mr. Cheramie ever make their way down the bayou? How did the generators make their way back to the Lockport Field Office before being picked up by Cameron Parish? Could no public use have been made of 3 or 4 generators that "were not issued"? Do the generators know a song was written about them? (Alas, they likely perished in Rita.) Did I miss any questions ya'll want asked?
