Robert Jean Sonnier

According to daughter Olive Sonnier Pitre, Robert Sonnier was a "runner" for the infamous New Orleans godfather Carlos Marcello and his associate, Frank Monteleone. She recalls visiting Mr. Monteleone's hotel, Hotel Monteleone, with her family during hurricane evacuations and other occasions while her father had meetings with Marcello. She remembers sitting at the Carousel Bar and drinking Shirley Temples. She also remembers sitting on Marcello's lap. There were occasions when she herself carried packages to Monteleone (and possibly Marcello) for her father, though she didn't know what they contained.
