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.

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.
