Happy Winter Eagle Alumni and Friends!
I bet some of you remember some of those cold, rainy days back in the Januarys when you were at LSMSA—particularly the walk between the dorms and the HSB. I vividly remember the ice storm of January 1988 and driving the bus to the Shreveport Airport via an icy Hwy 1 North to pick up a student who was coming back from a trip. I also remember how cold Prudhomme was.
