I graduated from LSU in 1962 with a BS degree in Business Administration followed by 6 months active duty in the US Army at Ft. Polk, La.  I worked in the trucking industry in Baton Rouge, Mobile, Birmingham, and New Orleans.  I married in 1966 and moved to Georgia where I worked in the State Mental Hospital as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor.  I then attended Tulane University 1968-1970, and graduated with a Master of Social Work. We then moved to Raleigh, NC in 1972 where Marvin Karl was born and moved back to New Orleans and worked at LSU Medical Center in the Dept. of Psychiatry. Rachel Elizabeth was born in 1974.  I divorced my first wife in 1980.  I continued to work with various mental health agencies in New Orleans until 1988. 

My son, Karl, married to Oksana, who he met in the Ukraine, has an MBA and is employed by Shaw Construction and lives in Charlotte, NC.  Rachel is a speech therapist, married to Bart Ezell, and they have a son, Carson, who is four, and a new daughter, Mary Macie (named after my mother) born on June 1 of this year.

I married Kay Price (who is wonderful) in 1986; she is Head of the Lower School at Annunciation Orthodox School here in Houston.  Kay has two daughters, Angele, who lives in New Albany, MS and has two girls and a boy, and Allison who lives in Dallas and has two boys.  We have moved from New Orleans to Monroe, LA, to Columbia, SC, to Dallas, to Albuquerque, and, finally, to Houston eight years ago.  We have enjoyed each move for different reasons. 

Today, I work on the Psychiatry Unit at The Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center.  I enjoy the staff and especially the Psychiatry Residents from Baylor College of Medicine that are receiving their clinical training with us.  I am contemplating retirement sometime within a year or so.  We are considering a move back to New Mexico once we retire.

It will be fun to visit with the class of 1958 again for the 50^th!
