Live jazz funeral music and speech to pay tribute to slain NOLA doctor

7/9/2014

0 Comments

 
The doctor was Mary Sherman, MD, an expert in cancer and radiation who taught at Tulane Medical School and worked at Ochsner Clinic.  She was found murdered in her Uptown apartment on Jul. 21, 1964.  Officially, her murder remains unsolved, and the crime scene photos have never been released until now.           

Mary Sherman’s death is the subject of the best-selling book Dr. Mary’s Monkey, which some have called “the most whispered about book in New Orleans.”  The book’s author, Ed Haslam, maintains that Dr. Sherman was severely electrocuted at another facility in Uptown New Orleans and her badly burned body was secretly brought back to her apartment where a murder scene was faked.  The subtitle of the book gives the reader a glimpse of the sprawling story that unfolds inside: How the unsolved murder of a doctor, a secret laboratory in New Orleans, and cancer-causing monkey viruses are linked to Lee Harvey Oswald, the JFK assassination and emerging global epidemics. 

The book has become an underground classic in the Crescent City and across the country.  Information about the book, hours of related videos, and the newly released crime scene photos can be found at the author’s website: DoctorMarysMonkey.com.  The updated 2014 hard cover edition is being released on July 21, 2014.    

JAZZ FUNERAL MUSIC FOR DR. MARY SHERMAN: A proper tribute at last.
           
When: Monday, July 21, 2014, 10 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
           
Where: 3101 St. Charles Ave., NOLA.   FREE and open to the public.
           
The murder of Dr. Mary Sherman was discovered 50 years ago on the morning of July 21 inside her apartment at 3101 St. Charles Ave., then known as The Patio Apartments.  Jazz funeral music to honor her will be performed outside, in front of her former residence, on the sidewalk.  Haslam says, “Mary Sherman was a beautiful, educated, and successful woman, beloved and respected by those who knew her.  It is time we gave her a better send-off than the vicious rumors that swarmed around her death in 1964.  Here in New Orleans, the dignified way to show respect is with a jazz funeral.  This is only a ‘faux funeral,’ but the jazz and the respect are real.”  The musicians will be lead by trumpet player Clive Wilson, a 40 veteran of traditional New Orleans jazz bands.

A new annual college scholarship program, developed by the Major League Baseball Urban Youth Foundation and the Jack Fielkow Scholarship Fund, has been established to benefit participants of the New Orleans MLB Urban Youth Academy and the “Each One Save One” mentoring organization. The annual scholarships will be worth up to $4,000 for two selected participants who demonstrate academic achievement, community participation, leadership skills and financial need. Scholarship recipients must attend an accredited two- or four-year college, university, vocational school or technical school.       

Recipients of the scholarship will be selected by a committee of individuals involved in the establishment of the program. This includes Arnie Fielkow, the former New Orleans City Council President and current CEO of the NBA Retired Players Association, who made a $40,000 donation in his father’s name via the Jack Fielkow Scholarship Fund. Louisiana-based First NBC Bank matched Fielkow’s donation to the scholarship program. Arnie Fielkow was instrumental in the establishment of the New Orleans MLB Urban Youth Academy.
