A writer and editor for more than 30 years at the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Ron Thibodeaux has been described as "a noted chronicler of Cajun country." In travels throughout his native South Louisiana, he has written about Cajun culture in all its aspects, from killer hurricanes to men's supper clubs, from dancehall fiddlers to alligator wranglers, from the uncertain future of Louisiana's native French language to the challenges of keeping the Cajun experience authentic while marketing it to tourists. He also has ventured to the Acadian homeland of Nova Scotia to explore the modern-day similarities and distinctions between Louisiana's gregarious Cajun people and their more reserved Acadian cousins north of the border. Ron is a graduate of Louisiana State University. He and his wife, Robyn, live in Covington, La.; they have three children and seven grandchildren. See less
