I can tell you one thing is for certain, Jerry Stovall and Pat Screen are NOT in this picture. Don't know who they are but Screen and Stovall are NOT there.

Ruffin Rodrigue Sr lives down the street from me. LSU football letterman in 63,64 and 65. I will get him to look at the picture to see if he can identify anyone in the picture. He may not be able to but he is still living a good life.


Very cool if he was able too

Who was your dad? The West Monroe in me which started in 1971 as a much smaller baby than the biggest ever born in Louisiana at Glenwood and played oline at LSU says no Stovall in this picture.

I don’t know but people sure dressed nice back in those days.

The demeanor and overall behavior of folks in that day was responsibly nice.

I like the mystery photo, keep us posted as you confirm the names.
Edit you original post with the known facts.
Fathers names, HS friends names, etc.

Good luck.

Sorry for your loss. I just saw his LSU picture from the WMHS IN REMEMBRANCE group on FB.

I think you are correct on both...Jimmy Fields is surely correct and Earl Gros(who played 9 years in the NFL and was from Schriever and went to Terrebonne High) looks to be the guy next to Fields.

Thank you. I just looked them up. That's definitely them.

I will now be able to fill in the names on the back. I'm sure I've asked my dad about them before, but the names were never written on the picture.
