Memories of SLI (USL)

            I transferred from McNeese in the Fall of 1946.  McNeese, a Junior College, was very small and SLI looked like a big college.  I loved the beautiful campus (especially in Spring), the arcades, the lake, and the people.

The first semester it rained so much we joked about wearing nothing but our rain coats not to be thought of in 1946!

As a junior I lived in Judice Hall.  It was so great to live next door to Burke Hall where all those good programs took place.

My senior year I was living in Foster Hall.  I was engaged to John Chesson and he came to visit often.  Mrs. Edwards, housemother, was so very careful not to let John go beyond the check out desk.  Anyway, we married, and the marriage has lasted fifty years.

My years at SLI (USL) were fun and interesting years, and I still have good friends I made in those years.

I must have learned some things because graduate school was not a problem.
