In the process, a lifelong dream was realized by a huge fan of WGSO's Archie Manning. After being contacted by Frank Slipher, owner of WGSO sponsor Caffe Fresca, Ken Trahan asked WGSO's Archie Manning to fulfill the dream of 90-year old Frona Oestricher, who wanted to meet her hero. Archie graciously surprised Frona at Caffe Fresca, Jude interviewed both, and thus began the WGSO Bucket List Wish. If you have a "Bucket List Wish" you would like to see fulfilled for a senior citizen regarding sports, contact Ken Trahan at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or Jude Young at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it **WGSO's Jeff Crouere, Ed Daniels, and Ken Trahan all served as Celebrity Waiters at the first annual Torah Academy Celebrity Waiters Luncheon at the Foundry in downtown New Orleans last weekend.
