For oyster clan, just another disaster in a series

For oyster clan, just another disaster in a series: “As survival stories go, the Voisins have a gem: It goes back more than 200 years ago when the first members of their family to set foot on Louisiana soil weathered a monster storm in spectacular fashion, clinging to their porch while others were washed away.”

Voisin, 34, is part salesman, part student of history (he spices his conversation with references to Teddy Roosevelt and abolitionist Frederick Douglass). He’s part spiritual seeker (he was a Mormon missionary in Bordeaux, France) and part pragmatic politician (he’s on Houma’s parish council). And Voisin is a full-time Cajun who lives, breathes, loves, eats and talks oysters — he’s lectured about them on five continents.
