The late Jerry Spohrer was credited as the driving force behind the system of levees, floodwalls and floodgates that provide protection for the West Bank. An annual award was created in his name and presented to his widow, Rosemary Spohrer, during the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-Westâs Employee Recognition Awards Ceremony on Friday. Col. Bill Fogle, the levee authority's management and technical consultant, reads the citation, citing Spohrerâs 30 years of service to the agency. Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts and Levee Authority President Susan Maclay look on.
