Occupation: Computer Programmer / Analyst / Project Coordinator
Spouse: Tommy
Children: 2

After living in LA for about 10 years, husband Tommy and I moved our family to VA, where we remained (in Newport News and then in Richmond) for over 20 years. We enjoyed VA and travelled a lot in the area. I worked mostly in the field of computer programming, Tommy was senior pastor of a church in Newport News and then in Richmond (Monument Heights on famous Monument Ave.) Our daughter graduated from JMU in VA. Son Alan returned to "Tigerland" to finish undergrad and law school at LSU. We returned to La (Houma)last May because we enjoy LA and because of proximity to family, along with job opportunities. Mom, whom you will remember as GHS librarian Mrs. Esco Smith, still lived in Gulfport when she was not with us in VA. She had remarried after Dad's death and then was widowed again. Sadly, she became ill and died last June soon after we moved. However, we're glad to be close to our daughter, Amy, who lives and works in New Orleans and son Alan and wife Cheryl in Baton Rouge. I work in the computer area of Terrebonne Gen. Med. Center here and Tommy is pastor of Mulberry Baptist Church. We enjoy the area, the people, the food, the fishing, and also being close enough to Gulfport to visit often. It's good to see friends and family there!
