Covington has always been full of people who worked for the big oil companies when they still had headquarters on Poydras. Unless you were there you can’t understand the difference in population then vs now. The Bourbons lived in Covington. You know, that French family with a liquor named after them. Laura Frerer graduated from Covington High and became editor of Women’s Health Magazine. The public schools spent more on gifted snd talented than special ed. It was a different time and place that the elites insured would never be replicated again.

That’s a shame. Hopefully, they keep schools good. Back in the day G&T was something to be proud of. Now we dumb everyone down or teachers are stuck with kids that need help and shouldn’t be integrated so can’t teach, and worry more about pronouns vs education.

And her late sister wrote the most famous episode of Dawson's Creek or something. Really smart, pretty girls.
