Did the cheerleader who died live in Opelousas or outside of Opelousas.


Pretty sure she lived up around Washington or Nuba.

What year?


I graduated in '01, so that would have been 93 or 94ish I guess.

Too late for the one I am thinking of. Mark Posner graduated in 80 or 81. I think he is a urologist in Baton Rouge now.

I don't think. I don't know if I would remember it if someone said it though.

Everyone that grew up in Opelousas is a something somewhere else now.

I graduated high school in 93, but didn't go to OC. Friends with a lot of the OC crowd. I have to think about this one.

Not everyone. Just those with the means to reach escape velocity.

Lots of my classmates remain there. A good chunk matriculated to prison. But some did well.

At my twentieth reunion, there were four grandmothers. They used to call the girls locker room OHS the "maternity ward."

That sounds right, but I am not sure.

Mark went to OC. We had mutual friends, but I did not know him well.

Actually that was written about Welsh. The name was changed under poetic license and to protect the innocent. I used to know that guy who wrote it.

Judge, did you graduate in 80 or 81? You might know my brother.

it may have been written about Opelousas Sosthene passing the way of Welsh, but it doesn't mean that Opelousas Sosthene was not a redeeming quality of Opelousas...does it?

The song definitely is.

Allons avec moi, bon temps rouller. Or something like that.
