Joyce Cicala:  

Hicks and Phyllis Collier. We usually went to the Hong Kong restaurant, Rockery's, or Lenfant's. The drags out in LaPlace were a great time also. Never failed to come home without a vicious sunburn! Richard and I divorced in September of 1977. Richard passed away in May of 1989. I spent time at different careers and wound up as a security investigator for the Hyatt, the Le Meridien and the Windsor Court Hotels. When my son was born, I went to work in the construction industry as a receptionist, then assistant project manager and a construction management representative. I also worked in two different architectural offices. Then I went to work at Avondale Shipyards in the Material Requisitioning depart for four year and then to the Configuration Management Dept for another two years. Workplace From 1984 to 1992, I worked in the hotel industry as an investigator. I worked at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, the LeMeridien, and the Windsor Court Hotel. I have seen many things that most people never see. I have attended sick people, fighting bosses and secretaries on love trips, Tulane and LSU students doing "it" in stairwells. You name it. After my son, Joseph was born in 1992, I went back to secretarial duties. That's when I went to work for ConstructionSouth, Inc. as a receptionist then worked my way to assistant project manager, and then to construction manager.
