B. Belaire Bourg - Passed January 3, 2003
Belaire, served on the Advisory Councilor the Pharmacy Section of The University of Utah School on Alcoholism and Other Drug Dependencies, 1997 - 1998. At that time he was on the Louisiana Board of Pharmacy and served as the Chairman of their Impaired Pharmacist Committee. He not only educated me about the Pharmacists Recovery Networks, which at the time I knew very little, but with my being born in New Orleans we bonded over his telling me some of the best "Cajun Jokes” with his "Belaire Flair”.
