Lawrence's Story
Life
Hello fellow classmates! I don't know how many of you will remember me but I was in the concert choir in high school. I left New Orleans at the age of 19 to join the Air Force and have been basically gone ever since. I live in Omaha, NE currently, and have been here for the past 22 years. I married an Omaha native and we have been married for 21 years and we have an 18 year old daughter. I am the Director of Satellite Operations at Bellevue University (my alma mater) and I have to say that I love my job. I had a lot of fun at Walker and prom night at the Hyatt was the best. Ten years ago, I was at a conference in New Orleans and we stayed at the Hyatt. I had chills as the experience brought back so many beautiful memories.

good to see some of the old gang. In the ten years that I spent in the Air Force I saw much of the country and the world. I have really enjoyed most of my life's experiences since high school. But there have been many changes in our fair city over the years. Some good and some not so good. K&B sold out to Rite Aid, Schwegmann's closed, the Fat Boys broke up, what's left to believe in? :o) But it's the spirit of New Orleans that I think speaks to me. A pervading sense of optimism mixed with passion, sensuallity, and brash humor. An indominable spirit that allows us to, even in the face of adversity that would crush a lesser spirit; eat, drink, and be merry. That tells us that even though today may be dark, the sun will still rise tomorrow.
Much love and respect.
