and received gifts from Santa Claus.

Professor Hudson also hosted a Christmas luncheon for parish government
employees aboard the Scotia Prince Cruise Ship on Thursday, December 22,
with a feast prepared by Chef Bryon Kam.

At the event, St. Bernard Parish President Henry "Junior'' Rodriguez
presented a plaque with a symbolic key to the parish to the cruise ship and

Hurricane Katrina. Capt. Bengt Wilmen accepted the plaque on behalf of the
