Vitter-Weaver Genealogy
Dr. Albert Leopold Vitter, III
Person ID: I8
1955 - 
1920 - 2005 (84 years)-
Gender Male Notes - Al was known for his strict standards in girlfriends, which revolved around how well they made German chocolate cakes. Later in college, it shifted to pecan pie. The standard joke was that Mimi always made pecan pie on Thursday nights when Al would be there. Al was often kidded for the long length (5.5 years) of his courtship with Alison, but actually it paled in comparison to the courtship durations of Alison's sisters Mary and Peggy.
Al got a 1967 Mustang convertible just before leaving for college. He got his Mustang stolen one day in New York City. Dede's friend Irquid misheard that Al's "moustache" was stolen, and that story caused much confusion and concern. Actually it would have been more accurate to think that Al's sideburns were stolen. Until the late 1970s, Al was fond of wearing long sideburns, despite the fact that on one side his sideburn had an inch-long empty gap right in the middle, below which there was some puffy whiskers. Al sold his Mustang and cut his sideburns at roughly the same time.
Al's favorite colors were navy blue and navy blue. He was also fond of having pictures of famous mathematicians and scientists on the walls in his office. His son "Little Al" grew up thinking that Einstein was one of his uncles.

A. L. & Audrey Vitter: Role Models Extraordinaires
Jeff Vitter's parents A. L. Jr. & Audrey (née St. Raymond) Vitter (grandparent names Père and Mimi) led accomplished lives of extraordinary service and caring for others — a legacy for generations to follow (including many Domers and a killer cookbook!).Après le Aha! moment (et avant aussi!)
As highlighted in the history "The Aha! Moment That Led to This Website," Jeff Vitter made a big breakthrough in December 2000 when he discovered when, where, and how his Vitter ancestors came from Europe to the USA. Much correspondence behind the scenes led up to and beyond that discovery. This history gives an inside look at the correspondences that genealogists engage in and how what we understand grows (we hope!) with time.Our Loyal Guardians Rex & Queenie

Thursday Night Cookin': Mimi's Recipes for a Happy Home
Judge Wendy Vitter put together a wonderful cook book in honor of Mimi's 78th birthday in 1998, entitled Thursday Night Cookin': Mimi's Recipes for a Happy Home. The cook book consists of the family's favorite recipes of Mimi's, along with several bons mots, family trivia, and memories. The name for the cook book came from the family's tradition of having Thursday night dinner at Mimi & Pere's.
When the Vitter kids were younger, a similar tradition existed at Mimi's parents' home at 3539 Napoleon, where Mémère and Pépère would host everyone to Wednesday night dinner, often roast chicken. Jeff liked to make little chicken sandwiches with the chicken, biscuits, and gravy.
