Joyce's Story
Life
I AM RETIRED FROM BANKING. STARTED OUT AS A TELLER IN 1972 AND WORKED MY WAY UP. I RETIRED IN 1996 AS VICE PRESIDENT. I ENJOYED WORKING AND MEETING PEOPLE. I AM STILL MARRIED TO GLEN (AUSTIN) CALLAHAN. HAVE BEEN SINCE JANUARY 13, 1953. WE HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND 8 GRANDCHILDREN. ROGER WHO IS 53 HAS 4 CHILDREN, DARLENE WHO IS 50 HAS 3 CHILDRFEN AND GLENN WHO HAS 1 CHILD. THEY LIVE NEAR US. ROGER IS IN OLATHE, KS. ABOUT 20 MINUTES FROM US. DARLENE MARRIED A DR. AND LIVES IN LEES SUMMIT MO, AND GLENN IS IN LEES SUMMIT ALSO. SO WE GET TO ENJOY OUR FAMILY.
WE BOUGHT US A RANCH STYLE HOME 20 MONTHS AGO SINCE NEITHER GLEN OR I ARE GETTING ANY YOUNGER. WE NEED A PLACE WITHOUT STAIRS AND LOWER MAINTENANCE. OUR OTHER HOME WAS JUST 4 MILES FROM HERE, BUT IT WAS A SPLIT LEVEL AND WE HAD AN INGROUND POOL WHICH I COULD NOT TAKE CARE OF ANYMORE. GLEN HAD HEART SURGERY IN MARCH 2005 AND ALSO HAD A STGROKE AND HIS KIDNEYS FAILED. SO HE IS ON DIALYSIS 3 TIMES A WEEK. 4 HOURS A SESSION. THE DIALYSIS IS NEAR BY. JUST A MILE AWAY FROM HOME. MAKES IT GREAT WHEN THERE IS SNOW OR ICE, SINCE HE DOESN'T DRIVE ANY MORE.
WE ARE SITUARED JUST ABOUT 10 MILES SOUTH OF KANSAS CITY, MO. WE ARE IN RAYMORE, MO ABOUT A BLOCK EAST OF U.S. 71 HI WAY. GAIL AND EDWARD ROME VISITED US A FEW YEARS AGO. SINCE WE ARE JUST NORTH OF BRANSON, MO.
MY FOLKS ARE BOTH DECEASED NOW. TERRY STILL LIVES IN MARRERO. SHE CARES FOR MY BROTHER FRED. SCHERIL LIVES IN HUSSER LA., AND AUGUST (MICKE...Expand for more
Y) CLASS OF 51 LIVES IN GUATAMALA. HE WAS UP HERE IN 02. HE COES TO CA. OFTEN OR AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR. LOVES IT IN THE TROPICS.
I HEAR FROM LAURA OURSSO EVER SO OFTEN. BARBARA BERGERON DIED LAST YEAR IN GRETNA AT ONE OF HER SONS HOME.
HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY ONE FROM OUR CLASS. TRIED TO FIND PEGGY DUET. NO LUCK.
DON'T THINK MANY OF OUR CLASS IS ON CLASSMATES.
WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANY ONE.
JOYCE LE BOEUF CALLAHAN FROM BRIDGE CITY. WE LIVED ON 9TH ST.
School
NATURALLY IT WAS AUSTIN, THEN MRS ANITA CURRAULT. YES I GUESS I WOULD DO IT OVER BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN LOTS WORSE. MY FUNNIEST MEMORY IS WHEN WE BUNCH DECIDED TO PLAY HOOKEY FROM CLASSES. I GOT COLD FEET AND NEVER MADE IT ALL THE WAY ONTO THE BUS. THE ONES WHO WENT INTO NEW ORLEANS TO THE MOVIES GOT CAUGHT. THEN THERE WAS MS TERREBORNE. SHE GOT MARRIED WHILE WE WERE STILL IN HI SCHOOL. AND MR MARTINA WAS A YOU KNOW WHAT. BUT HE KEPT MOST OF US STRAIGHT. WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU AND EVEN SEE YOU. LOVE JOYCE LE BOEUF CALLAHAN.
WELL I AM STILL IN RAYMORE MO. BUT MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY ON MARCH 28,2008. HE WAS REALLY SICK THE LAST FEW WEEKS OF HIS LIFE. I WILL STAY HERE IN MY HOME AND DO WHAT I CAN, OR GET ONE OF THE KIDS TO HELP OR FIND A HANDY PERSON. I HAVE GREAT NEIGHBORS. I MAY GO TO LOUISIANA IN LATE SUMMER OR EARLY FALL. I WILL STAY MOSTLY IN MORRERO WITH MY SISTER TERRY DENNIS. OR IN HUSSER WITH SCHERIL, MY YOUNGER SISTER. AUGUST (MICKEY) IS STILL IN GUATAMALA.
