    Hi All,

    I just wondered if there was anyone on here from DeRidder, LA? I was in the borg there back in the 70's.

    I used to work with a guy from Deritter, Rick Garcia.
    He's a great guy. Hey isn't Deritter the place with such interesting High School classes??

    Wild Turkey,

    My number 2 son was engaged to a Shreveport gal. She's left England now, so it's all off. However, she always brought a bottle of Wild Turkey when she visited.

    Englishman.

    Hey Blindfool,

    I don't know what the hs classes are like now, but they were not that interesting 27 years ago.

    I have family in Louisiana, and I've visited there many times.

    In fact, there is a cong. in Minden that I attended while visiting. There was a young black sister named Wendy who really enlightened me about some of the overt racism there.

    I was surprised to see the study conductor and his son in blue jeans and cowboy boots! (Book study)

    This was about 15 years ago I hope things have changed. From what I remember she left the "troof"

    When the pain of being where we are, becomes greater than our fear of letting go...we will risk and heal and grow.
