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.
