Life Was All Soo Simple Then

You know I have described receiving your emails to feeling like a child at Christmas. So........you can imagine how tickled I felt to receive this beautiful update from Charles "Chuck" Murray.

He writes:

Where do I start, in 87' after graduation my family moved to Southern California. I stayed in Louisiana and graduated from LSU. Then I worked in suburbs of Tokyo, Japan for almost 4 years. Returned to U.S., went to law school and now I practice mostly business and real estate law. I am counsel for several small to medium sized businesses. My office is in downtown Los Angeles.

I really enjoy California. The climate is great, really does seem like the Golden State. We live in a community north of downtown Los Angeles (about 5 minutes from the Rose Bowl). Housing is outrageously expensive and life is sometimes too fast. I miss the Louisiana cooking and hospitality.

As for interests, traveling, drinking wine, golf, tennis, etc. (Though I really do not have much time for these).

As for personal, been married to my wife for 7 years, we have a daughter that is 4. My life has been blessed, I am very grateful for it.

I have spoken with Chip (La), Matt Miller (Va), Doug Soons(Mass), and Cyrus(Ga) periodically. All seem to be doing well.

I can't believe it has been almost 20 years. Shocking! Like all people before us looking back at their 20th, just seems like life was soo simple back then.

This is Chuck and Beth Pichon our Freshman year. Our school buses were two of the first to arrive. We'd sit in the "Common's Area" and goof off for at least 30 minutes. (Please excuse the horrible scan job. Since we've gotten the old one to work, we haven't put much thought in to a new one.)

I look forward to receiving more updates

from you like Chuck's. My hopes in creating the blog were for us to share fond memories and laughs as well as updates of our past 20 years. I hope that when we reunite at our reunion we are so comfortable with each other (after getting to know each other again via the blog) that we feel as though we just stepped off of the bus and laughed together in the "Common's Area" before the morning bell rang.
