We had such a large senior class; there are quite a few names and faces (“then” and “now”) that I don’t recognize. Am I the only one, or is Alzheimer’s setting in early? I think I spent way too much time hanging out in the band room or at Mr. Gatti’s…
I had a slow career start. After BHS, I was in and out of LSU with no clear direction and working construction between off semesters. Finally, I got my act together and learned a trade as a machinist, then eventually landed a job in the LSU Physics & Astronomy Dept. as a technician/welder/machinist. Then while working for LSU fulltime, I enrolled in Engineering Technology and finally graduated in 1989. My experience with high vacuum technology and cryogenics, both widely used in the Physics Dept., led to my to my big break at GE Medical Systems in Florence, SC where I was hired as a design engineer and designed superconducting magnets for MRI’s used in diagnostic imaging. Since then, I’ve worked for GE in several states and have held many positions over the last 19 years. I’m currently an Advanced Mfg Engineer working for GE Energy in Greenville, SC where we design & build power generating gas turbines and the 1.5 MW wind turbines that you see on TV.
I’m currently married to my beautiful 2nd wife, who is from a small town in VA, and who never in her life considered eating things like crawfish, but I got her to try them (after I peeled them first, of course). I tell her, people in LA eat things that most people wouldn’t step on.
I have two beautiful daughters from my first marriage who are 19 and 21. My youngest, Chelsea, has had a rough time for the past year and a half and has been in and out of the hospital as a result of being a passenger in a head-on collision that killed 3 others, but she's doing great now.
Hats off to the Reunion Committee – great job!

I've enjoyed catching up on what's been going on with many of you by way of Classmates. It's great to know that so many of you are still either in Baton Rouge or the surrounding area. I've only bumped into a handful of you in the last 30 years, except for the 10-year reunion which I attended. I didn't know about the 20-year.In '83 I married my husband, Mike and we have been blessed with 3 wonderful children. Our oldest, Cory, just turned 20 and has just started his 2nd year at LSU. Kristen, our only daughter, is will soon be 18 and is finishing her last year of high school at, oddly enough, our rival, Woodlawn, ha ha. And our youngest, Josh, is in special ed. at Twin Oaks Elem. He has Down Syndrome with considerable developmental delay. Even though there are so many of you I didn't know except for passing you in the hall every day or maybe returning a smile, I'll always feel a special connection with you. Also, I feel really blessed to have reconnected recently with a couple of my best friends from school. |

I met my wife Lisa at SLU. We raised two sons.We lived on Goodwood Blvd for 15 years, and moved to St Tammany 6 years ago. We live in a rural area, and have 4 dogs and 2 cats. Our youngest son Ben attends SLU and is a Chemistry major. Our oldest son Jeff was killed in action in Falluja in 12/04. He was a Platoon Sgt in the Marines. It was his second tour in Iraq. I have attatched a link to an article about him. He was awarded the Silver Star, and 2 purple hearts during his time he served. www.marine-corps-news.com/2007/03/marine_sgt_jeffrey_l_kirk_post.htm |

Thank you guys so much for putting this together! You have done a great job. I just looked at the "In Memory" page and was shocked and saddened to see how many of us have died. Even with the saddness, it is incredibly nice to see and hear from so many people I have not seen for SO long. Here is the quick run down on me: married, retired attorney, artist ,with three seriously beautiful girls. I have missed all of the other reunions, but I better not miss this one!
