Notes:

Military WWII - US Navy - commissioned ENS USNR in Jan 1942 - served asGunnery Officer on the USS Housatonic from 1942-1943 and 1944 until Jul - in Jul 1942, sent to Pacific as Gunnery Officer on the USS Sibley to Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and the occupation of Japan

Sidney attended the old St Vincent's Academy, which adjoined St Joseph's Catholic Church in Baton Rouge and later became Catholic High School.He remembers, "The old wooden school building had no electricity, no gas, and no water. If you gotthere early on a cold morning before the good brother lit the potbelly stove, the ink would be frozen." They then built the new Catholic High School building, but while it was under construction, classes were held in the Louisiana State University boys' gym. "It was a large wooden barn covered with black tar paper. It was so warm in there in the spring and fall that the brothers held classes outside under the trees. In was so cold in the winter that they held classes outside in the sunshine." Sidneystill remembers the words, written in six-inch letters by a former LSU coach in the gym shower: "A gentleman is marked by neither obscenity nor profanity." He also recalls an early Catholic High tradition: "In the later '20s, all the boys wore knickersuntil they were about 5'6". When you needed long trousers, your mother had to buy you 3 or 4 pairs of long pants." When a student showed up for the first time in long pants, everybody in the school gave him a swat on the backside. However, Sidney never experienced the traditionalinitiation. "By the time I got the be 5'6", the style had changed, andknickers had vanished." As youngsters, they hadto walk to school and could not use tickets for the city bus unless it rained. Shoe repair shops all over downtown took care of worn soles. Sidney graduated from Catholic High School in 1931, when tuition was $3.50 per month. He went onto attend LSU.

Baton Rouge Advocate (LA) -- 07 Jan 2003 -- Smiley Anders
Baton Rouge's own Paul Bunyan: Jim Arbour of Houston was amazed when hecalled his mom, Ann, and she told him she had bought his dad, Sidney, a new chain saw for his 89th birthday. Says Jim, "It seems his old chain saw was worn out, and he asked fora new one to clean up from the recent storm. I'll bet there isn't an 89-year-old anywhere in the world who got (and can use!) a chain saw for their birthday."

Baton Rouge Advocate (LA) -- Friday 21 Nov 2008 -- Smiley Anders
The big chill -- After Juanita Bahlinger suggested that fans who stayedin chilly Tiger Stadium until the end of the LSU-Troy game should be rewarded with their choice of tickets next year, several readers questioned how these fans could be identified. Easy -- they're the ones with frostbite.
The bigger chill -- Sidney Arbour says, "In December of 1932, I signed up to be a cadet usher at the LSU-Oregon football game at 2 pm in TigerStadium. I arrived 30 minutes early, found my assigned area and waitedfor my fans to arrive. At kickoff time I was still alone. In fact, there were about 3,000 fans in the entire stadium. The temperature was 16 degrees. As I recall, Oregon won the game --maybe too cold for the LSU players! On Monday, Athletic Director Red Heard paid me my $2."

Baton Rouge Advocate (LA) -- Sunday 13 Jun 2010 -- by Carol Anne Blitzer
AFTER 96 YEARS, SIDNEY ARBOUR DOESN'T PLAN TO SLOW DOWN YET
Sidney Arbour does not let his age get in the way of living. At 75, he won his division in the Great River Road Run. At 95, he traveled to Dubai, and at 96, he visited Mexico. "I don't drive at nightanymore at 96,but I slip around a little in the daytime when nobody is looking," he said. Arbour was born 7 Jan 1914, upstairs of Kornmeyer Furniture Co., a business started by his great-grandfatherin 1880. His grandparents, Julius and Matilda Kornmeyer Bahlinger, lived above the family store located at the corner of Ferdinand and America streets. "At the time, my parents were living on 10th Street," he said. "My mother, Julia May Bahlinger Arbour, went back to her parents' house for me to be born." His middle name should have been Joseph,the middle name by which his father, Sidney Joseph Arbour, was christened. The senior Arbour attended St Vincent's Academy, where he was teased because his initials spelled 'SJA,' the same initials as the girls school, StJoseph's Academy. "My dearfather came to school one Monday morning and stood on his desk and said, 'My name is now Sidney Vincent Arbour,' and that became his name, andmy name, too," Arbour said with a laugh. Like all members of his generation of Bahlingers, Arbour grew upinthe family business. He was 5 years old when his grandfather asked if he would like to go in the horse-drawn Kornmeyer wagon with two employees who were delivering a black cast-iron stove to a downtown residence. "I climbed up on the front ofthewagon," he said. "After the men got the stove in, one sat on each sideof me, and one of the men said, 'Sidney, we're going to let you drive the wagon.'" The men handed Arbour the reins and instructedthe little boy as he drove east on America Street toSt Charles Street, over the streetcar tracks to Government Street to the final destination, where thedelivery was made. Arbour first attended Miss Minna Martinez's one-room school locatedon the north side of Louisiana Avenue. "When you lookedout the front door of the school, you saw the back end of the Fuqua House," Arbour said. Henry L. Fuqua owned Fuqua Hardware Co. and later became governor of Louisiana. "Every day he would walk from his house to the Old State Capitol," Arboursaid. "He would walk down America Street and stop at the shipping department at Kornmeyer's and have a chat withmy grandfather, Julius Bahlinger." Like his father, Sidney Arbour attended St Vincent's Academy, which was located at the north end ofChurch Street,now Fourth Street. "Church Street terminated at that time at North Street," Arbour said. "The school was on the ground that the streethas now been extended on." Winter mornings were cold. "If you got there early before they lit thepot-belly stove,the ink at each desk would be frozen," Arbour said. He recalled that as a fourth-grader in 1924, he knew the 10th- and 11th-grade upperclassmen including Paul Macarius Hebert, who later served as dean of the LSU Law School, LSU president and a judgeat the Nuremberg trials. "I've said a many a time that he wasour most distinguished graduate," Arbour said. When Arbour was a junior in high school,the Brothers of the Sacred Heart who operated the school decided to build a newsteam-heated building. They hired a house mover to move the old school building east about 200 yards to make room forthe new building. Col. Thomas D. Boyd, the LSU president, drove by as the house movers were preparing to move the old school. "Hestopped his carandtoldthe brothers he could spare them the expense," Arbour said. Boyd offered the brothers the old LSU gymnasium that had been left vacant when the university moved from its downtown campus to its present location. "It was an inexpensive framebuilding.Ithad on each side four classrooms with low ceilings. It was not heated or cooled," Arbour said. "It was so hot in the falland spring that we had classes under thetrees, and it was so cold in the winter that we had classes outside inthesunshine."To this day, Arbour remembers a sign placed in the shower room by LSU head football coach Mike Donahue. It read, "Agentlemen is marked by neither profanity nor obscenity."
LSU
In 1931, Arbour graduated from high school and enrolled at LSU in the College of Commerce. In his junior year, he was in a large group of students Sen. Huey Long took to the LSU-Vanderbilt football game in Nashville, TN. "Students met in theGreek Theater, where Huey announced that the Illinois Central Railroad would provide five trains," Arbour said in an earlier Advocate article. "He told the railroad that students would pay $6 round-trip in lieu of the normal $22 fare. Any student who did not have the $6 could go to the seventh floor of the Heidelberg Hotel for a loan." Arbour and several friends went to the hotel and got a loan for the ticket and an extra $1 for food. "A dollar at that time would buy 10 ham sandwiches or 20 Coca-Colas," Arbour said. The group made thetrip to Nashville, where LSU defeated Vanderbilt 28-0. The students marched through downtown Nashville with Long leading the band. "We tore down the goalposts, boarded the train, and arrived late Sunday, tired and uncomfortable from the soot from the coal-fired train," he said. After graduating from LSU with a degree in business and economics, Arbour went to work in the research lab at Standard Oil. That was where he was working when WWII started.
The war
"My friends Charles Hundemer and Richard Mary were drafted into the Army, but I joined the V7 Program with the US Navy," said Arbour, who was commissioned an ensign on 7 Jan 1942. One of his first assignments was moving oil by tanker from Texas to ports along the East Coast. On the day of the Normandy invasion, he was in Baton Rouge on his way to San Francisco to a transport ship that could move 1,400 Marines from island to island in the Pacific. In December 1944, the ship set sail for Hawaiiwith a crew of 400 and 25 Higgins boats.
"We started moving west," Arbour said. "We'd go to one island and stay a few days and then to the next island and stay a few days." The ship arrived at Iwo Jima on 19 Feb 1945. "The first wave of Marines went ashore at Iwo at 9 am. The next wave at10:30, and the next wave at 12 o'clock," Arbour said. "At noon, our PA (public address) system came on," hesaid. "The voice said, 'I just received word that we will be going ashore at 1400 hours. I know you will fight like Marines, and may God bewith you.'" Arbour's ship went to Okinawa, then to the Philippines, to Guam, and then to Saipan. Then Japan surrendered. "After the Japanese surrendered, we went back to the Philippines and loaded up the Army of Occupation for Japan," he said. TheArmy had supplies lined up for three city blocks. "We had to put all that in our ship," Arbour said. "The lastthing they had to come aboard was a plywood trailer. The only place toput it was on the main deck right in front." The ship sailed for Japan."The next morning when everyone woke up, we discovered that someone had taken a keyhole saw and cut a hole in the trailer," Arbour said. "Itwas full of cases of liquor for the Army of Occupation." Even though the sailors were ordered to locatefourmissing cases, they were never found.
Home
Arbour was delighted to return to Baton Rouge after the war. Soon afterhis arrival, he needed a date for a party. He asked his friend, Bernard Manuel, if he knew someone he could take to the party. Manuel had lost an arm in an accident whenhe was 5and could not serve in the military. He had stayed in Baton Rouge working at Ethyl. "Bernard said that there were four nice girls living at the Pentagon," recalled Arbour, who had had several dates with two of the young women. One ofthe women invited him to an announcement party for the third roommate, Ann Wilbert, of Plaquemine, who was engagedto an aviator from Harding Field. Shortly after the party, Wilbert broke her engagement. When she needed a date for a SpinstersParty, she asked Clare"Shot" Holly (later Hurst) to get her a date. "Shot said call up Sidney, he's back in town, and he knows everybody," Arbour said. When Wilbert called Arbour, he said, "I'll take you myself, and I'll even bring you a corsage." They went to the partyand "danced and danced" and then went and ate hot tamales. "From then on I didn't date anyone else," he said. On 1 Feb 1947, Sidney Arbour and Ann Wilbert were married. They had six children. "She joined nine different organizations while we weremarried, and she became the president of each one of them," Arbour said. "Everybody loved her." It was Ann Wilbert Arbour who named the Junior League cookbook, "River Road Recipes." She died three years ago.Sidney Arbour worked first at Standard Oil.After he took early retirement, he became the main appraiser for Union Federal Savings and Loan. At 65, he retired. Five years later, Arboursuffered a heart attack while vacationing on the Gulf Coast. When he returned to Baton Rouge, Dr. Tom Quaidput him on a healthy diet and recommended an exercise rehab program designed by Coletta Barrett. "I started out real slow. Then I speeded up, and then came the Great River Road Run," Arboursaid. "Coletta told me I had to be at the Pastime Lounge on Saturday morning," he said. "She said we're going to run half a race." From that day, Arbour was hooked. "The next year, Dr. Quaid and I ran together," said Arbour. In 1989, on his fourth or fifth try,he won his division. "He walks every day,"said his friend and neighbor Janet Hearin, who is amazed at how much Arbour remembers. "He can tell you whenevery tree in his yard was planted," she said. Arbour still lives in thehome that he and his wife of 60 years shared. The Arbour children allliveaway, but almost every weekend one or more of his six children and 16 grandchildren comes to visit.He has 12 great-grandchildren with two on the way. He's always onthe go, traveling the world with family members. Dorothy Washington, the Arbours'housekeeper for 27 years, does the cooking and runsthe house. "I promised Miss Ann that I would take care of him," Washington said. "I know him better than anybody. Right now, he's my best friend." His niece, Kitty Arbour LeBlanc, visits au Canadillerecsaole?ees18 Rivitab» «tab»ll the time. "I'm the one who comes when he has computer problems," she said. "I come to close out his computer when he has 16 sessions open." Arbour worked fordecadeswith Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, serving both on the advisory board and the board of directors. He also served on the board and as chairman of Ollie Steele Burden Manor. He stays active with Catholic High School, where he washonored in 2006 as a 75-year alum. If the weatherispretty,he runs with the alumni in school races. He loves to tell the story about his friend and neighbor, the late Ernest Dampf. "Ernest nevercould get above a semi-fast walk," Arbour said. "One day he hollered to me, 'Sidney, you've got your heartin suchgood shape that when you die, Rabenhorst is going to have to take a shovel and beat on it so youwon't come up out of the ground.'"
