Boillot’s retrieval was made doubly blessed in that it was a family affair – just after emerging from the bayou, Boillot shared a tearful embrace with his uncle Jerry Theophilopoulos, who retrieved the cross forty years ago today. Boillot recounted that he dreamed last night he’d retrieve the cross, and that sharing such a moment with his uncle was “[an] incredible emotional, spiritual feeling.”
