Just found this website. Becky Stephens, I had been told you had died. I'm glad to hear that news was premature. I am still married to Stanley Dzierlenga, class of '65--40 years now. We have two children, Scott (32) and Casey (26). I am a retired Spanish teacher. Mrs. Smith made a big impression on me. Stanley is still working for an environmental company here in Chapel Hill. We took a group of students to Spain last spring and this spring we plan to go white water rafting through the Grand Canyon. French High was a magical place. Not too many schools are like it these days.

I attended the reunion for the Class of 1966 last year and reconnected with lots of fellow classmates and would like to keep in touch. So, I paid to join classmates.com and am really disappointed in it. Hopefully, your site will provide a means for contacting and keeping in touch. I took a few photos at the reunion and wondered if there was a site where classmates share photos.

I have been married for 36 years to Glenda Parker a SPHS graduate. We have 3 grown children and 6 grandkids 4 years and under. I "retired" from my first job in 2001 and am now working for a pharmaceutical company. I look forward to hearing more about the upcoming 40 year reunion and hope to be able to be there. My fondest memories of FHS are the friends I made there and the good times we had.

Advice from a Tree, By Ilan Shamir..............
Be content with your natural beauty....
Drink plenty of water....
Let you limbs sway and dance in the breezes....
Be flexible....
REMEMBER YOUR ROOTS....
Enjoy the View!
Our Roots are in Beaumont (whether we like it or not) and French High
helped us become who we are. Those were wonderful years and the older I get,
the wiser I become, the more I realize how important old friends are and
how lucky I am to have such strong, healthly ROOTS. My life has been a mess. I married Don Black (Forest Park'65).a
BEAST.disaster..divorce. Then I married Jerry Richardson, wonderful
man, good life...I messed up big time, divorce. Then I married and moved to
Denver....Denver great..marriage mistake, divorce. Now I'm married to
a wonderful man from Missouri. We've been together for 11 years and I'm
happier than I've ever been in my Life. We're looking forward to my
retirement, at which time I will be traveling the US with him as he
goes to his various nursing assignments...he's a traveling nurse.
I have 3 grown sons and 4 grandchildren and I have my own bookkeeping
business.
I would love to see all the olds friends from French. Rosalie
Halbouty..."don't cross your legs while you diagram a sentence" and
..."Procrastination is the thief of Time"...remember that?
When is the next reunion? and where is Glen Rainwater?...what a GREAT
guy!

My husband (Eddie Alexander – SPHS 65) and I live in a Trilogy retirement community (55 and older). This August, we will be married 36 years! We do not have children, but have a very full life. We are very active in our church in Fairfield, California and enjoy ministering to men and women there. I was a late bloomer and have recently acquired my Associates Degree in Biblical Studies. Currently, I am working toward my Bachelors Degree and will probably go for my Masters. I’m learning so much (why is it so much easier now?) and don’t want to stop! In January 2006, my husband and I went on a Missions trip to the Philippines and there were probably close to 500 young people who gave their hearts to the Lord for the first time! People are so hungry for God over there! It’s wonderful to find this great website! Thank you for all of your hard work in putting it together!
I really would like to get in touch with Ann Legg Hoffpauir. ( please contact the FHSAA)

40th reunion coming soon and I won't miss it! I hope to see a lot of my friends from those young days in the shadow of the war in Vietnam.
Ours was a time that history now records as a time of massive change in the US and parts of the world. The liberation of our spirit in someways, the coming of the "pill", war protests, Moon landings and the long descent into too much drug, sex and rock-'n-roll. It was different things to different people, but sure wasn't boring, was it?
A law practice, marriage, and two great kids later, I don't think I'm much different than the Allen King some of you knew 40 years ago and I bet the same is true of many of you. I hope to find out at the reunion. Thanks to all that are involved in planning it.

Just wanted to check the site again to see if there were anymore classmates that I remembered. I really like what you've done MaryBeth. Thanks for all you've done to keep it going.
I've been living north of Silsbee for the past 27yrs. on a mini-ranch with horses, cows, and sheep plus I have 2 small dogs. I have 2 children and 4 step children and we have 9 grandchildren between us. I retired from TempleInland Papermill in Evadale,TX in '98 as a Caustic Operator. Now we travel, ride a Harley and scuba dive alot in the Grand Cayman Islands.
My favorite class was science with Mrs. Boss and I also liked all my math classes.
I really miss being able to see all of the friends I had at school whether close or not. I really look forward to all the reunions.

The hours cruising 11th street are my favorite memories
of my junior high(bowie) and high school days. And, of course, parking
on Friday and Saturday nights in any out-of-the-way place we could
find. Also, taking dates to the jefferson and liberty theaters in downtown
beaumont along with the south park drive-in theater and the "new" drive
in theater out on eatex freeway towards lumberton. Thoses were the good
old days !! :-)
