Left Beaumont the night of graduation and thought I would never return. I went to Texas A & M for 2 years and then Lamar, graduating in 1969 and then an MBA in 1970. I have worked for Japanese companies most of my working career. In 1993 I started Ameritech Machine Tools, which is an importer of machine tools. Business has been good and in 1996 opened an office in Chicago to go with my office in Los Angeles. Retired as a LTC in 2008 from the National Guard. Married for 31 years and 2 boys and 1 grandchild. Life has been good and I will probably work forever.

I have signed on with "Classmates" several times. I am not impressed with their product, or service, or whatever one wants to call it. I am delighted that there is a French High School Web Site. I will try to visit often and encourage other friends and classmated to do so also. Maybe my twin sister will drop in and say "Hello" as well.
Keep up the good work. Sincerely......Ted Jorden

Charlie and I have been in Lumberton since 1998. He does piping design, and I'm currently working as a special ed. teacher at our middle school. We are the parents of two great "kids", Trey 36 and Paige 34, and the grandparents of 4 wonderful grandsons-Blaine, 16, Billy, 15, Jesse, 13, and Jake, 11 and one precious granddaughter, Cassidee, almost 11. Charlie and I have wonderful memories of our time at French High. (Trey was in the last graduating class of French.) I have really enjoyed looking down memory lane. My favorite teacher at French was Mr. Burgess (orchestra and belles).

High School was the most fun I have had in my whole life. I have kept many of my high school friends. We had a group of us that hung out together. Not much boyfriend-girlfriend stuff, just friends with the group. It was so sad to graduate and move on. My favorite teacher was Mr. Ellis. I love photography class. I still have many of my high school friends now, we grew old together. We have shared getting married, having kids, graduations of kids, death of my daughter, grandkids. It has been a wonderful life. Now we are sharing retirement and getting ready for nursing homes. Thank you French High School for the memories.

Hi Oh, those boring days of Mr. Ellison's Photography class. Not to bad in the dark room. My wife is the former Miss. Judith Angell of the class of 1966. We were married June 29,1973 and have been married for
28 years. We have three sons Brian 21, Kevin 19 and Kirk 16. We did
not know each other while at French but met later at A party. I'am
retired from the oilfield service work and we live near Athens, Texas in
the country. Athens is about 75 miles Southeast of Dallas. It is very
quiet and peacful here were everyone knows one other and you still wave
when A neighbor goes by. I wouldn't think of living anywhere else.
