Building A Community in Carville
from In the Company of Charity · host Daughters of Charity
In this third episode of series on the National Leprosarium in Carville, Louisiana, we get to meet Walter Chin, the real king of the armadillos. Walter is Wendy Chin-Tanner's father who inspired her to write her book, King of the Armadillos. We also have Elizabeth Schexnyder, Archivist for the National Hansen's Disease Museum, back to join the father-daughter duo. In this episode, we talk about Walter's time at Carville and how the Daughters serving there shaped his nine years in residence as well as the rest of his life.
