Don Sharp, who celebrated his 92nd birthday recently, met with Jim MacPherson, executive director, and Jeanne Brooks, educator, both with the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Maritime Museum, on Wednesday, August 18th, to share with them his extensive historical research into the "Tchefuncte River Corridor."
The museum is located in Madisonville, just a few yards from the river itself, and Don's findings are of considerable interest to museum officials.

Don combines centuries of genealogical information, tracking regional family names from across the country and down into St. Tammany, with his research emphasis on the key players in significant historical events, events of consequence as well as national and local interest. Much of his information has been discovered in local historical society records, church records, biographies of famous people, and in correspondence with historians throughout North American and Great Britain.
