Our local newspaper - The Advocate - keeps everyone
informed of current events. The Flagship University - Louisiana State
University - has served the people of the region, the
nation, and the world through extensive, multipurpose
programs encompassing instruction, research, and public
service. A former LSU President - William Tecumseh
Sherman - left LSU to fight for the Northern
Yankees in the Civil War of 1861 -- 65 and made the
famous, "Sherman's March Through Georgia" which
helped to defeat the South and their Cabinet. |

Louisiana has a republican
governor - Mike Foster. Also, the largest
city, New Orleans is a great tourist
attraction with the street cars of St. Charles Street -
but - remember to bring your gun if you do not want to
get shot by the (PP) project people - who love to kill
tourists.

Irish to the Heart and
Soul. My ancestors - Jefferson Adams, Paul Jones and
William Aldridge - traveled from Ireland to South
Carolina in the early 1800's. After the Civil War they moved 60
miles from Baton Rouge to Pointe Coupee parish.

I am
4th born of four sons and four daughters and I was
raised on the Atchafalaya River just as my parents
were - 15 miles from where my Adams-Jones-Aldridge
ancestors settled in 1868. I have one son Jonathan
Mark Adams and one daughter, Joycelyn Marlene Adams.

Reading
I
enjoy reading more than anything else in the world...all
non-fiction...especially the newspaper for current and
historical events.

Sports
All sports are fun...especially tennis...and catching
catfish on bush hooks...then coon hunting at night...and
crawfishing during the spring time for a "Louisiana
Hot Sauce" CrawFish boil with Corn and Potatoes.

Computers
I enjoy Computers - which I learned about when reading a
Sybex Publisher's book, "The ABCs' to DOS." Now
my career is in installing computer hardware and
software, desktop and networking applications, DOS and
Windows. Isn't right clicking Windows 95 so neat.
