Your comments are very touching and reflect the passion and love that you have for the sugar industry in Louisiana. It would be interesting to hear other stories, like yours, that reflect on the rich history and values that encompass the Sugar Industry in Louisiana. We would like to invite you to write an article, with the help of our ISCNEWSROOM team, about the sugar heritage in your area, if you would be interested.

Born in St. John, resident of Ascension and our business located in St. James, our family roots are deep in history within the river parishes and the sugar industry. My great grandfather was in the plantation and cane growing business in St. Gabriel, but after their death and at age 13 my gradfather moved to live with relatives in Reserve LA and at age 13 went to work for Godchaux Henderson Sugar Refinery in Reserve LA. He worked for GHSR until his retirement at age 65 as Office Admin Manager and Pay Master. My uncles and older brother worked at GHSR and one of my cousins works in management at Colonial Gramercy. After the closing of GHSR my uncle aquired an old wooden desk which today is my personal desk at Nord-Sud Shipping in Lutcher LA... it was Mr. Walter Godchaux's desk and is still used today. At Nord-Sud Shipping we are "vessel agents" and altough we handle many different type vessels and commodities, one such commodity is sugar! We handle for CSC, Domino and Imperial..., although majority of raw sugar is locally grown domestic supply, we do see imported sugar via ocean-going vessels from time to time when year end supply is short. It's good to see the sugar business expanding in to the next level, generation and hopefully for years to come. It's truly sweet news!
