We start the year on a lighter note with this item about mathematics professor Leonel Robert and his daughter Rita.
Leonel and Rita were featured on the front page of the Acadiana section of the Dec. 26, 2015 Advocate and in the Jan. 6, 2016 Advocate editorial Louisiana adults owe children access to play areas encouragement to keep moving.
