Wild Thing I Think I Love You


But I wanna know for sure....








Apparently there was a lot of love going on with the class of 87. I know our class was close and these pictures are hilarious. I'm sure a lot of you out there could share a lot of pictures like these. Send them in. We have quite a few people on our missing list and will be sharing that with you shortly. Even if you think we have contact information on a person, send it to us anyway. Chances are that we don't.


Please email us some old or new photos along with your updates to the email address on the right side of the page where is says "CLICK HERE to Email Us".

Recipe For Success


(Easter 2006)

Well, I have lived in Kentucky for about 8yrs now. I married almost 6yrs ago and have 2 beautiful girls, Sydney Diane 31 mths and Samantha Danielle 16 mths. I live in Louisville which is a great city. I received my culinary degree here from one of the top schools, Sullivan University,(#2 in baking and #3 in culinary) after years of working or managing restaurants. Good times ....


I now have my own catering company that I started after I was nominated as one of Louisville's Best Chefs in 2001. I opened 2 successful restaurants here in Louisville and in the Indiana area. Now I am primarily a Stay at Home Dad with the 2 girls. My wife, Connie, works at Yum brands as the Assistant Treasurer for the corporation. So I do caterings for people in the Louisville and Indiana area and watch the girls, a great job!

I hope to see all of you in June of 07'. My family is planning to be at the festivities.

Sincerly,
Andrew Badon C.C.
( your brother in Christ)

Safety Dance



We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind, 'cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance well then they're no friend of mine......









I'm sure you will all find yourselves singing the rest of this song and probably singing it all day in your head. Send us your dance photos - we want to post them.

Burning Down The House!

At least not in Eric Abney's house. Eric has been so helpful in the hunt for you. He has kept all of the 10 year reunion information in a box and brought it to the first meeting. We were very impressed. He even had pictures that were taken by Hope Crockett the night of the reunion - not sure how he got them, but he had them. Eric is a very busy man in the Slidell area. Read what he has to say:

I have stayed in Slidell since graduation. After Mr. Culbertson showed me art was something I was good at, I studied commercial art at Delgado. I had the same teacher he did for lettering, Mrs. Beverly Wellmeyer, and she remembered him. I worked in a screen printing shop from 1987 to 1991. I then completely changed gears and entered the Fire Service in Slidell and have been there ever since. I am one of two Captains that run the Special Operations Station (Station 17 on Brownswitch Rd.) We do Haz-Mat, Extrication and Technical Rescue. I still do some printing and graphic work as I had my own shop until Katrina.

I got married in 2001 to Suzanne Ferrer of Covington. We met at the Olde Towne Frie Station, she was looking for directions. We have two boys, Logan 4 and Blakely 2.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone again! Please help out by trying to locate 1 or 2 of your fellow classmates.

"Who Says You Can't Find Love In A Bar?"


Finally, an update from Mr. Newton. Bruce Newton contacted us and this is what he had to say:


First off, I would like to say that I think you guys (Heidi and Kim) are doing a great job with the website. I’m sure everyone appreciates the time and effort you guys and others are putting into the planning of our reunion. You’ll (great southern word) recently mentioned that the updates from our fellow classmates were slowing down so I thought I would email over a few photos and give a very quick synopsis of what I’ve been doing over the past few years.
After graduation, I joined the Louisiana Army National Guard as a means to pay for college. I ended up spending 9 years in the guard (got out in 1996). After the first 3 years of my enlistment, I decided to attend Officer Candidate School and received my commission in 1991. While in the guard I attended LSU and UNO as an undergraduate. I finished my undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering at UNO (did about half the time at LSU), and later went back to night school at LSU to get my MBA.

Along the way I met my wonderful wife (Terri) at LSU in 1988 at Murphy’s (Who say’s you can’t find love in a bar?). For those of you who attended LSU I know you are familiar with that establishment. We married in 1991 and just recently celebrated our 15 year anniversary. We have four fantastic children: Blake (11 years old), Brennan (9 years old), Bella (6 years old) and Brice (2 years old in October). I attached some recent family photos. By the way, my hair usually looks like Robb’s but my wife insisted that I get it cut for the pictures.

These days we are living in our new home (moved in this past Memorial Day weekend) which sits on 4.5 acres on Menge Avenue in Pass Christian, MS. We started construction prior to the hurricane, and we were approximately 50% complete when the hurricane hit. We were one of the fortunate ones because we only had 1 foot of water in our place which allowed us to recover rather quickly.

With regards to what I do for a living, I have 3 business partners, and together we own an engineering consulting firm which employs approximately 30 people, and we also own a real estate investment firm which we just started before the hurricane. My 3 partners run the office in New Orleans and I run the MS office.



We are in need of some recent information from our classmates or we are going to keep posting those old high school photos. Even though looking back to our high school years is fun, We know you want to see updates as well. Oh & Bruce, kindly send us a photo with that long hair. This is a must see.....

The Day We Became the BMOC

A lot of us who still live in Slidell will be sending our children off to school for the 2006-2007 school year today. I found these pictures and thought how fitting as 20 years ago we became the Big Men/Women On Campus. We were now the Seniors. These photos are from the night before our first day as Seniors. Do you all remember how we went up to school the night before to post banners and do all that goofy corny stuff that is tradition?



Jeanne B., Ken S., Chip T., Donna B., Liz F., Johnelle L., Trey K., & David C.


I'm thinking the guy at the top of the ladder is Mark B. with Kevin M. at the bottom ??? along with Stu C., Robb M., & some guy peeking out that I can't quite tell who that is


Julie C.


Tom M., Leslie P., & Kim P.

This last photo is our actual first day at school as Seniors.

Edge of Stephanie S., Kim M., Julie C., Elizabeth D., Danae P., Kim P., & Carol F.

And so the countdown to our 20 year reunion officially begins.............

Luck O The Irish to Ya!


Hi there,
Finally got around to sending y'all some pictures and a quick update.
I am married to a New Orleans Police Detective and am a stay at home mom of two daughters. Erin is 5 and Brigid is 11 months. Brigid was born 1 week after Katrina in Dothan, AL. I sent a picture of the family on St. Charles Ave. at the St. Patrick's Day Parade because with a last name like McCleery, St. Paddy's Day is just about the most important day of the year for all of us!!!
See you soon.
Carol Fewell McCleery




Carol labeled this adorable photo "Crazy girls" but they just look like two little girls wanting to have a little fun Mom!




Now these, I would definately call the "Crazy Girls"!!!

Who says you can't go home?



Barri Russell Castles recently sent us an update along with a couple of photos. Take a look at her adorable little fellow!

Hey guys,

Kris Schroyer sent me the info to get connected with everyone.

Well, after school, went to USM, graduated with a Paralegal Degree. I
managed the Chick-fil-A there while in school, then opened a new one in
1994 and managed that one also. After graduating, moved to California,
where I lived with Kris Schroyer for a little over a year. We worked
together at a Market Research firm and I also put my degree to use and
worked for a couple of atorneys there. Eventually, came home though,
in 1999, met my husband and we were married in 2001 and we moved to the
Kiln in Mississippi. In August of 2002, we had our son Kayden Matthew.
Unfortunately, things did not work out for us, and in 2003, we
separated and divorced in 2004. In July of that same year, I ended up back in
Hattiesburg, MS, believe it or not running the brand new Chick-fil-A
....yes again, who says you can't go home?? So now I am running the
freestanding store here in Hattiesburg and am living out in the country in
Purvis. My son is about to be four in just a week and things are
moving pretty fast. I cannot wait to see everyone at the reunion, I didn't
make it to the ten year but there is no way I am going to miss this
one. I am attaching a few pics of Kayden and myself.
Barri



We would like to say thank you to Kris for spreading the word!!!!! See, it works!

Everyone, please keep sending us your updates with some photos. Your pics can be of whatever you want. Email them to shsclassof1987reunion@yahoo.com

Say It Isn't So



I guess it is hard for me to imagine that one of us could have a child in high school, but it is true....Karla Chambers Abney's son will be starting Slidell High within the next week. I'm sure there are more of you out there with high schoolers and we would love to hear your stories. I guess it is hard for me to believe because I only have a five year old. This is a picture of her son and her daughter. Karla did not send us a picture of herself or her husband Charlie, but after a little PI work (and help from SHS Class of 86) I found a recent picture of her. Looks like she is the still same fun Karla that we all know and love.





Please send us your updates - your emails have slacked off. Trust me, you don't want Heidi calling and hounding you for your information - Just ask Brad Stuart....Just kidding Heidi - we love you.

You are going to leave us no other choice but to post the pictures that we have of you,and not all of them are pretty :-)

Hello From Sunny San Diego



Recently we received an update from Greg Hartley. We since have requested a recent photo of him to post with his update, say maybe one of him lounging on the La Jolla beaches or in front of his restaurant, etc. but no such luck, so we dug one out for him.

Hello everyone. I'm out here in sunny San Diego California. I've been
out here for almost 5 years. I'm the District General Manager for Hooters
in San Diego. Andy Hanson sent me the blog sight and I was fired up to see
some old friends out there. Heidi and Kim glad, to hear that ya'll are doing
good. It's great seeing some of these old photo's. It sure does bring back
some great memories. I'm really looking forward to our reunion. Would love
to hear from ya'll anytime you get a chance. Keep me informed and I will
be checking out the blog. Hope to hear from ya'll soon.
Greg H.


Please send us some news of what you all have been up to in the last 10-20 years. We love receiving pictures of your little ones, spouses or photos of your adventures since graduating from High School. You can email them to us at shsclassof1987reunion@yahoo.com.

Hi from Mr. C

Kim received an email from Mr. C so we thought we would share it with you.

Just a quick hello from Mr."C"ulbertson - Art Teacher
I teach at Fontainebleau High now with Mr. Bernard - I left SHS in 94 after all the good kids left *S*. After your class I never taught oil portraits ever again - isn't that something - you still having yours - that made my day to hear your daughter wanted it in her room. I often wonder what happened to my kids and what they are doing now - etc.
Well its late and I need rest.
Good to hear from you Kim.
Mr. "C"

He Had Me At Hello..........

(1995-French Qtr. Festival)


(1995-Puerto Rico)

Let’s see, where to begin…
Well, I attended LSU for a year. I was then talked into taking off on a whim and moving to Florida for the summer of 88 to work at Disney World by my dear friend from kindergarten, Michelle Fields Pierce/NHS-87'. While this was an interesting & fun experience, it was by no means a smart move as I made the mistake of not going back to school until years later. When I eventually did return, I did quite well and thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately, in the last two years of high school and first year at LSU, I focused more on my personal life than my education and my grades showed it. Sad but true. Anyways, it was during this time that my now husband walked into my life and swept me off my feet. Yes, my Prince Charming! He definitely “had me at hello” with his bandana, Cuban accent, ripped up jeans and falling apart mini-van. Ok, I know this is cheesy but who cares, high school was/is all about being cheesy.


(1997-Honeymoon Cruise Ship photo)

We married in September of 97’. We have 4 wonderful children. Three are from my husband's first marriage. Christian is 21, Daniel is 19, Alexis is 13 and our son together, Gabriel, is 7.

(1998-Our soon to be family of 6. I was about to pop......)

My husband is a Pediatric Specialist and practices in St. Tammany Parish. I managed his practice and continued going to school until I had our son. I slowly cut back my hours at work as I realized just how fast they grow up and I sure didn’t want to miss that.

(2000-Gabriel @ 2 yrs. old)
So now I am a “Stay At Home Mom”. I continue to help my husband with his medical practice as well as his entrepreneurial projects. I am the Family CFO, if you will.

(2005-Daniel's Senior Grad. We don't have any current "formal" family photos, so this one will have to work.)

I can’t wait to see everyone at the reunion events!
Heidi Burch Hernandez



You know I can’t end this without nagging you to email us at shsclassof1987reunion@yahoo.com with your updated addresses & phone numbers. Oh and some updates from you all with a few photos would be nice. Write something short & sweet or something long & lively. We don’t care-just send SOMETHING in please!!!!!!
