Having grown up witnessing Metairie change and grow, Catherine
Campanella developed an interest in its history, which is the
subject of this new book. An LSU graduate with a BA in fine arts,
Cathy chose a career in teaching (MEd, University of New Orleans),
becoming a technology coordinator and early proponent of the
educational value of the Internet. New Orleans History--
Lake Pontchartrain (www.pontchartrain.net) was her first attempt to
compile a cultural overview as a pictorial history of the lake.
This endeavor culminated in the book Lake Pontchartrain (Arcadia
Publishing, 2007). Now a retired educator, Cathy's interest in
writing and research has grown to include the books Metairie
(2008), New Orleans City Park (2011), Legendary Locals of Metairie
( 2013) and Images of Modern America Lake Pontchartrain (2015), all
released by Arcadia Publishing.
