| 摘要： | Born in Galliano, La., and growing up in Larose, Capt. Dean Plaisance speaks in the French-inflected cadences of southern Louisiana, a region that has traditionally supplied a big contingent of towboat workers. Plaisance's Dad had "done a little banking" before he turned to shrimping. "The shrimping was good in those days," Plaisance said. "Since then, the storms have eaten up a lot of the marsh. We've lost a lot of ducks in the flyway." Plaisance himself shrimped in his teen years, then went to work for a small Gulf Coast outfit, Toups Marine Transport, founded by Anthony Toups, after his brother-in-law, Darrell Bouffanie, got him a job there. He remembers Bouffanie as being a good mentor who helped him get his start. Toups ran supply boats to the Gulf drilling rigs and along the In-tracoastal Waterway. Plaisance worked for Toups from 1981, when he earned his first captains license, through 1991. |
