      <![CDATA[Remarkably, very few seem to remember that it was also known as the Sheraton Delta Motor Hotel from the early 1960s until perhaps 1973. I will admit that the building was in poor cosmetic shape near its end, but dispute the idea that it was beyond usefulness or could not have been included in the plans for the new hospital.

      <![CDATA[My mother moved to New Orleans in 1982 and the story she tells me is  the building was an apartment complex for elderly people. She says that greed and the ambition of turning the building into a hotel motivated the then owners to evict all of the poor people with only a month of notice.

      <![CDATA[This is sad for me. I have MANY good memories attached to that building. My husband and I transferred from Boeing in Seattle to Boeing in this building in 1962 to work on the Saturn V program.
