Basile said she is doing it partly because she loves the station, and she gets to play the music that she wants to hear. Station employees pride The atmosphere of the sta tion is a relaxed one.

In Louisiana, where every thing that swims, slithers and crawls seems to be considered a delicacy for the table, the soft shell crab is a favorite seafood that brings higher prices than the hard shell type because it is more delicate and less abun dant. A crab grows by periodically molting, or shedaing its shell. Each time it molts, and until the TTe wSTVVrE o Prescriptions Filled Glasses Repaired 216 N.
