I Remember: Slidell, Louisiana 1978-1984

I Remember: Slidell Louisiana (1978-1984) collects stories of Jeffry Odell Korgen's teenage years, growing up in southeast Louisiana during a boom period that brought thousands of people to this formerly small southern town from all over the country. Christopher Cardinale's artwork brings to life these both sublime and ridiculous memories.

Jeffry Odell Korgen lived in Slidell Louisiana for his teenage years, before moving to Boston and New York City for forty years, where he regaled friends, neighbors, and colleagues in ministry with stories of his hometown--Slidell, Louisiana. These are his greatest hits, in the "I Remember" format pioneered by artist Joe Brainard. He is the author of several books on ministry and currently lives with his wife, sociologist Kathleen Odell Korgen, on Cape Cod.
