My deepest sympathies to Debra and the Mayhew family with regards to the loss of Zeb. He was a very special friend during our teenage years as well as many years thereafter. Zeb accomplished so much during his lifetime and took great care of Oak Alley throughout many difficult times. He will always be remembered.
