Fats Domino Rescued by Boat
Fats Domino apparently rode out the hurricane in his New Orleans home and was rescued by boat from his flooded neighborhood, his daughter Karen Domino White said Thursday. The 77-year-old R&B legend had been reported missing Thursday by his longtime agent, Al Embry, and his niece, Checquoline Davis. White said late Thursday that she saw a photograph of her father that had been taken Monday by the New Orleans Times-Picayune. The photo showed Domino, whose real name is Antoine Domino, in jeans and a blue-striped shirt being helped off a boat by rescuers. "We're very relieved," White said in a telephone interview. White said she has been unable to speak to Domino and had no information on his wife, Rosemary, or any other family members in the flooded city. Posted by: Steve 2005-09-02 |
