Education: BS, USL 1957. Took classes at NW and LSU
for 21 additional units in the period 1992 – 1998.
Spouse:
Peggy, deceased. We met at English class at Bunkie High
School. She was in the 1955 graduating class. She worked
in a secretarial capacity for most of our married life while
we raised five children. The last part of her career was
with the local hospital.
Personal Information: Children 5, Grandchildren 8.
Parents: Lucius and Odyle. My father was the
Studebaker Dealer in Bunkie.
Career
History: I worked in the Savings & Loan Associations
for 25 years, taught at Bunkie High School for 4 years,
Angola State Prison for 6 years, and was in finance for 5
years, employed by Fidelity Credit Company.
Professional Achievements: I was Executive Vice
President, Avoyelles Savings & Loan Association. It was
acquired by Pelican Homestead, and I was appointed Vice
President of the merged organization, and was divisional V.
P. of the Central Louisiana Operation. I was named
Outstanding Student Teacher at SLI.
Personal and Leisure Activities: Travel, computer, and
keeping up with friends. I enjoy keeping up with my Bunkie
friends, and travel there periodically to see friends and
family. I am now retired and my current activities are
water aerobics, Senior Center, and my children and
grandchildren. Three of my five children live in the
Phoenix area so my plans are to continue living there.
Recollections of BHS: FFA activities and playing the
tuba in the band. The teacher who made the biggest
impression on me was B.G. St Romain. He really took an
interest in his students. I think we were all fortunate to
have him as a teacher at BHS.
The
last fifty years have been kind to me in many respects.
There have been many pleasant events and experiences, and my
health has been good. The thing that has impressed me most,
however, is that those fifty years certainly went by very
quickly.
No
big plans for the future. My health is good, and I
thoroughly enjoy daily aerobics. I see no change in this
routine in the near future, although I hope to have the
opportunity to do more traveling.
