BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Mourners gathered at the Louisiana State
Capitol to remember former Gov. Dave Treen, who died last week at
the age of 81.
A funeral procession brought Treen’s casket to the Capitol,
where he was honored with a memorial service in the ornate, marbled
Memorial Hall. About 300 family members, politicians, elected
officials and former elected officials packed the seats.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and three of the state’s former
governors were also in attendance Monday.
Treen was Louisiana’s first Republican governor since
Reconstruction. He held the job for one term from 1980 to 1984 and
also served in Congress. He was remembered Monday as a humble and
honorable public servant.
