The only purpose for this site is your enjoy. To share memories of our early years together and when possible to become reconnected. Let us know what you have been doing over the years. Share pictures of yourself and your families. What interested you when you were younger and what interest you now. Your life is important to all of us so why not share some of it with us. We do not see each other enough and some of you we haven't seen since graduating.

I can be contacted at txron@hotmail.com or on facebook under the alias Ronny Eller

UP COMING REUNION INFORMATION

When ever I hear any new information about an up coming reunion I will pass it to you
as quickly and as accrete as posible.


FRENCH HIGH SCHOOL Class of 1963 MEMORIAL PAGE

I was told when I first began thinking about doing a class web site that the most difficult part
would be the Memorial Page. I have found that to be true. I think it's important to pause for a
few moments and reflect on friends who have passed away. Sadly, it's a list that continues to grow.


CLASSMATES WITH KNOWN ADDRESSES

I hope we can keep this list as current as possible and that we can add to it. We are
missing so many of our classmates. Hopefully this list will help us the next time we have
a reunion. I know it has helped a number of our classmates stay in contact with each other.

CLASSMATE ACTIVITIES - - - PHOTO PAGES

Loads of pages here with lots of pictures. Many are of events during our 40th.
class reunion I saw a number of nice camera's being use. Maybe you have
some pictures that you'd like to share with us.


Be sure to check these out !!! It's an opportunity to see what some of
our classmates have been up to.


CLASS OF 1965 PAGE

During our years at French we weren't simply one class; but rather 5 different classes.
'60, '61 '62, '63, '64 and '65. The pages in this section are dedicated to the FHS Class of
1965.

HURRICANE "IKE" PICTURES

Hurricane Ike made landfall on September 14, 2008 and changed much of the landscape along
the Gulf Coast. Lives and property were lost as the storm surge raved its havoc. Beaumont
didn't feel the storm surge but the high winds were also very destructive. Our old high school
had to be totally redone inside from the damage.


DO YOU REMBER 1962 ? ? ?

This is just a bit of Trivia about 1962. I've tried to make it localized to things that actually affected us.

CLASSMATE LINKS

As I learn of more classmate's links I will post them. If you have a link to your business,
or hobby or what-ever just let me know and I will make it available to all our classmates.


ANNUAL PICTURES

I have heard from a number of classmates who either never had or don't
currently have access to their annuals. It was suggested that adding
some of those pictures would be something classmates would like
to see again.


FRONT PAGE of FHS COURIER . . . Feb 8, 1963

Hopefully FHS Courier Pages will bring back some neat memories. Due to it's size
this page might be slow to open for some of you. I hope you will still take the time to
check it out.


PAGE 2 of FHS COURIER . . . Mar 7, 1963

Hopefully FHS Courier Pages will bring back some neat memories. Due to it's size
this page might be slow to open for some of you. I hope you will still take the time to
check it out.


BACK IN OUR DAY . . . Pictures of our Youth

PLEASE ! PLEASE ! If you have any early school or class pictures, or
activities consider sharing them. Just scan the picture and send it by email or
contact me and I will come and borrow it long enough to scan. I am certain
others would enjoy seeing them.




MR. LeMASTERS

Mr. LeMasters and his wife paid a visit to one of the FHS Mass Reunion's hosted by the
FHS Alumni Association. He was well received and most agreed it was a touching event.

RON'S RATTLING

This is a section I have moved from the main page to a different location. I use this section
for a number of different things, one of which is to express my opinion on things. But, there
is a lot more to it than just that.

PICTURES FROM AROUND TOWN

Some of these pictures are by request. If there is someplace not pictured
that you would like to see please let me know. If it's possible I'll get
it for you.

JEFFERSON COUNTY COURTHOUSE In PICTURES

For you history "BUFF'S" take a look at the pictures of the different buildings
used as the The Jefferson County Courthouse in Beaumont, Texas.

.... Oh, By The Way ....

If you are interested in knowing about Beaumont, the best book
on the subject was written by a couple of French High School
Graduates. " BEAUMONT A CHRONICALE of PROMISE " was written by
Judith Walker Linsley & Ellen Walker Rienstra.

Just click play and sit back and enjoy.This was sent to me by a classmate

links to just about anything Beaumont you can think of.

RANDY WELBORN PICTURES

Take time to look through Randy Welborn's web site and the neat pictures

FRENCH HIGH SCHOOL ONLINE CLASS-REUNION

I can not say enough about Maribeth's FABULOUS French High School Web Site. Her On Line Class Reunion has done every French High School Alumni a great service. Through it a wonderful school is remembered and many old friends have reconnected. I feel honored to be affiliated, in even the smallest way, with the wonderful work she has done. So, on behalf of all FHS Alumni, I am happy to say
" Thank you Beth for caring so much about FHS !!! "

ALSO .... Her contributions to the site you are now looking at is also greatly appreciated. She has helped take the crumbled ruins of my old site and turn it into a place that hopefully friends and Alumni will be able to enjoy. My personal and very sincer thanks to you, Maribeth. You are a wonderful friend.
