I have been a resident of St. John the Baptist Parish since I was 2 years old, however I recently moved to Tangipahoa Parish.  I met my husband when I was in college at SLU and we were both serving in the 236th Louisiana Air National Guard Combat Communication Sqaudron in Hammond, Louisiana, where I served as an Air Traffic Control Specialist for 8 years. Tommy and I have been married for 36 years and we have two grown children, Brantley and Britton.  I also have a 9 year old Blue-Heeler (Australian Cattle herding dog) named Cecil Jack and a 3 year old Blue-Heeler named Ziggi.
