William Thibodeaux inducted as Living Legend

On Saturday, Feb. 2, William Thibodeaux was inducted as a Living Legend of the Acadian Museum.
Making the 2019 presentation during a ceremony held at the Bernard-Bertrand Home in Rayne where he leads the French Table meetings was Warren A. Perrin, assisted by Rayne Mayor Chuck Robichaux.
The honoree was also joined during the special event by his wife, Judy, in addition to a large crowd of family, friends and "French Table" members.
Thibodeaux has written a book, “Hidden History of Acadiana,” which should hit the shelves by May of this year. The book is a collection of fascinating short stories that chronicles of the enormous and diverse history and heritage of South Louisiana including people, places, and events of long ago. Some date back to the antebellum period, but most take place during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
