"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.....
