Manny Guendulay and I have been friends for many years. He was my student in journalism class and decided he liked the business. I've watched him write scores of articles for numerous publications over the years. Then he became a journalism instructor. And he has the job at Huntington High that I once held. He wrote a profile on Blanc et Noir in the Times today and I'm very happy to say he's joining the krewe for the 08 parade.
