Yep, you probably have about 4 to 5 years on me.

Must have been someone else. I was a transplant to Louisiana, and couldn't have won an election for dog catcher - Wasn't related to anyone within 150 miles of McNeese (except by marrieage).

Nope, I only sell the custom imprinted and embroidered business advertising - Calendars, ink pens, coffee mugs, company shirts & caps, plus offering another 700,000 potential
"business cards". I started my business from scratch, again with no high school connections or relatives to sell to.

The only Bevers in Louisiana that I'm kin to are the one I married and our 3 children. My Bevers kinfolk are mostly home in South Dakota.

Never. I'm strictly a home-body. I'll travel up to 210 miles round trip in a day, to sleep in my own bed. Never go past Many, Oakdale, Ville Platte, or Crowley to call on customers.

Never have met any of Dorothy's family except Mary Jo and possibly Josie. With the same last name and similiar physical characteristics, it was easy to spot the family connection.

So, how does she visit here without her oxygen tent? The mold grows almost as fast indoors and out here in Soggy Bottom.

The feeling is mutual. I rarely see anyone I knew from McNeese, except the Bookstore personnel who order from me, 23 years later.

So, did you catch any of the 3 McNeese games carried on ESPN 2? If you saw any of the big blue foam boots sticking up in the air, I take credit for that order.
