My parents met as students, both were life guards at the Huey P. Long Pool at the time they met. Dad had season tickets for many years. I guess that's selection A then

Question: Back in the 1940s, there was a pool in BR known (I think) as City Park pool. My Dad managed it while he was a student at LSU, after his time in the Army (where he also managed a pool at Camp Chaffee, Arkansas). I do not know if it was Huey P. Long or not. Are they the same?

no. city park pool was right next to the city park golf course. the huey p. long pool i believe was (is?) the pool on campus close to the field house. it's been years since i've lived there, but i'm pretty sure this is correct.

btw, i now live in fort smith, arkansas, which is right next to fort chaffee.
