I thought as a way of generating some interest in the reunion I would start posting some updates, questions, memories, etc. that will hopefully get our class to participate. The first one I thought of was teachers. Where are they? I compiled a list of those that I know have passed away (it has been 35 years since we graduated). Mr. McCoin-admin, Coach Wicker, Mr. Delaroderie-math, Mr. Powers-Eng, Colonel Boswell-Social Studies, Coach Lundy, Mr. Albert-Science, Ms. McGhee-Typing,Shorthand, Mr. Shaw-choir, Mrs. Wallace-Eng.
But also many are still alive and kicking because I have run into them. That list is Mrs. Smith-Social Studies ran into her at Zeeland Gardens, Mrs. Norwood-math at a nursing home, Mrs. Fort she seems to remember everyone's name (I don't think she ages), Mrs. Greer-science ran into her at Oschner (she's having some health problems but still gets about), Mrs, Meriwether-English, Mrs. Loupe-Social Studies, Mr. Gerbrecht-band (still volunteers his time and plays for his grandchildrens school at St. George, Coach Bofinger-still wrestling coach at Lee and party animal, Mrs. Wicker/Jenkins-P.E. used to see her all the time walking her dog at Lee, Mrs. Paine-P.E. used to keep up with her through her grandkids, Coach Keaton-ran into him at gas station still remembers that 1973 football team, Mr. Hanley-science now principal at McKinley High, Coach Wilkinson-still partying with Bofinger, Mrs. Pourciau-speech, Mr. LeBlanc-industrial arts, Mr. Gremillion-industrial arts, Coach Major Harris, Coach Ruiz,
Maybe you've run into some of the old (or maybe I should say "former") teachers, send us an update.
I'm going to try to post every few days something that I hope will stimulate you to post your memories, I've found that one memory triggers another. I'm going to post on this site as opposed to email because I don't want my email flooded with responses. Please post to this site.
