Kathy Kelly Fornoff

After Franklin, I attended LSU Baton Rouge. Graduated in 1969 with an education degree--German and Spanish. Got married to my Holy Cross weetheart just before he went to Viet Nam. After he got back, we moved to Houston to attend graduate school at U of H. Got a master's in Child Development and worked as a state inspector of child care centers in Houston for 10 years. Divorced and moved to Asheville, NC. Married Rick Fornoff, worked as staff development coordinator for a county child care system. We have 2 children.

My daughter, Erin, is a freshman at UNC Chapel Hill, and my son Reed is a sophmore in high school--both wonderful children! For the past 10 years I have been teaching Spanish in an elementary school in the Asheville area. I love it. We've spent summers in Mexico, Spain, and Guatemala, improving our Spanish. I'm now working on an ESL certification. In Asheville there are over 45 different languages spoken by immigrants to the area, lots of kids needing to learn English.

I still have family in New Orleans and visit every 2 or 3 months. Will be there for Mardi Gras for the first time in 30 years!! It's been great to read about all of your interesting lives and accomplishments. Thanks, John!

Charmaine Lanoix
I graduated from Newcomb in 1969. Since then I've been working in the surety industry as a surety bond underwriter. Thanks to sales, mergers and spinoffs, I am now on my fourth company without ever really changing jobs--Travelers Ins., Continental Ins., CNA and currently CNA Surety. I've always lived in the New Orleans area, but love to travel. Have had the good fortune to at least set foot on five of the seven continents.
That's about it--I live a pretty simple life.

David McCain

After Franklin, I went to UNO and received a BA in Political Science. I then went to SUNY Buffalo, where I got an MA in Political Science and learned to shovel snow.
I returned to New Orleans in 1975 and started what can only be described as a career in public administration and arts management. After some years it dawned on me that I was probably too ornery for most office environments. I probably needed to be self-employed. I had become a fairly knowledgeable customer for promotional posters and brochures, and I enjoyed design. So I decided to learn the printing business. Some Goodwill customers got a great deal on all my Brooks Brothers stuff.
Melissa Payne and I were married in 1983. We left New Orleans in 1984, for Melissa to get her doctorate in Anthropology at the University of New Mexico, and for me to learn the printing business on the job. We’ve been in Albuquerque since then. Sadly, she and I were divorced in 2004- sometimes you can’t live with your best friend.
I started Downtown Printing in 1993. It has become just what I wanted: small, profitable, independent, and often fun. Our main niches are good quality color work for graphic designers and the printing of books. I’ve also become known as a soft touch for local left-wing candidates and struggling arts organizations who need donated printing.
I live and work in the downtown historic district and I’m pretty dug in, despite occasional flashes of homesickness. I get back to New Orleans every year or so, usually at Mardi Gras and usually as volunteer tour guide for friends from Albuquerque. I still play a good game of pool and a poor game of basketball.
Looking back at high school, I have mixed feelings. I was one of those fifteen-year- olds who needed Franklin: a bright kid (we all were), but completely unmotivated. I think of myself now as someone who appreciates ideas, and can work hard and achieve goals. I got that from Franklin. I needed that kick in the butt.
But I wonder if it had to be that traumatic. Did we really have high school sophomores with ulcers? Maybe it had to be that way, though I understand that the B- average requirement has been changed. Is the school still as good?
Many thanks to Eileen and Sandy for organizing the reunion.

Eileen McGinnis
After graduating from Newcomb in Math, I went to Stanford on an NSF fellowship where I discovered that weather could be pleasant and jeans could be worn anywhere, and decided to stay. I've lived here in the Silicon Valley, in Palo Alto and then Los Altos Hills, since 1969. I also fell right into the computer explosion by luck, taking a course in 1971 while studying for my math quals, leaving math for computer science and never looking back.
Working 10 years each at Hewlett Packard and Sun Microsystems, I seemed to always be right in the middle of defining and launching the new paradigms -- the first workstations and the Internett to name two big ones. It never ceases to amaze me that I have been so lucky to have so much fun and excitement, and I got paid for it as well.
The picture is me (on the left) in the spring of 1999, with a Dayak door from Borneo that I got via Bali. I am just about finished remodeling my house to use all of the things that I have picked up over the years.
I am semiretired now, working mainly with non-profits to try to ease the growing "digital divide". I keep thinking that I will actually give up computers and start something new but then something too fun comes along and I can't pass it up. Right now (2000) I am consulting for the Rockefeller Foundation, advising how to use the Internet to bring more economic rewards to 3rd world artisans. After years of traveling all over Europe and Japan, I now get to concentrate on southeast Asia, the Middle East and Brazil. Over the years, I have had a lot of unintentional adventures, accidentally pulling the emergency stop cord on a US troop train in the middle of East Germany (when it was still East Germany), almost getting kidnapped in Italy by a man from Saudi, but managing to get off the sailboat when the captain and owner were fighting, strolling into an antique counterfeiting operation in Java, and taking pictures before I understood what was going on. While I am not anticipating any more kidnap attts and I pay more attention to where I am wandering, I am looking forward to what the next 35 years holds. If it is half as much fun as the 35 years since I left Franklin, I certainly won't complain.
Thanks to Hanan for setting this up. Franklin did a great job of giving me what I needed to start my life. It will be great to see what everyone is doing with theirs.

Jean Morgan Meaux Ballanco

B.A. English U.S.L.; M.A. English, University of Alaska; J.D. Tulane

While I was in Alaska, I taught English at a community college and then free-lanced for the Anchorage Daily News – great fun. I am now Board Certified in Family Law and in private practice, primarily in the area of family law. I am a sole practitioner and have two offices – one in Metairie, where I practice with two other family law specialists, and one in Covington.

After fourteen years in Alaska, I came back to Louisiana in 1985 and went to law school. I have lived in Mandeville ever since and really do love it – the trees and the quiet - but I miss Alaska and probably always will. I am having a wonderful life with lots of travel and grand adventures and lovely friends. We love the out of doors and hike every chance we get, although the hiking in Louisiana leaves something to be desired. We cook and garden and study Italian and I take art lessons in the summer – and fish, how could I leave out fishing? My husband is a great fisherman and believes Louisiana has the best fishing in the world.

I do have to say, in this sort of summing up moment, that if I could do one other thing with my life, it would be to work for the protection of the public lands in Alaska. Other than my family – see attached – the thing I love most on this earth is Alaska. If you haven’t been, go. It truly is the most beautiful place on earth. If I’m lucky, when I retire I’ll get to spend some time up there again – but who likes winter? Not me.

Meanwhile, meet my family in this picture takin in Dec. of 2002. From left to right:

My daughter Amy, a junior at Loyola in New Orleans.

Next, an older and wiser me with my wonderful husband, Jerry Ballanco, a developmental pediatrician.

My son-in-law Travis and my daughter Laura (that’s my first grandchild in her tummy – due to be born any minute). They live in Greeley, just north of Denver where Laura is a youth director and Travis is in school.

Last but certainly not least, my daughter-in-law Amy (an Episcopal priest at Trinity Church here in New Orleans) and my son, Jared, a computer programmer.

I know we all thank Hanan for putting this site together. It’s been wonderful reading the news from those of you who have responded. I’d love to hear from you. Best wishes and fond memories - to all of you in this new year. January, 2003

John B. Murphy

A hearty tip of the hat to Hanan, Eileen & Sandy for their loving labors on behalf of the class of 1965. After reading through the bios on the website, I gotta say: What a class. I only wish I had been there when I was there.
Got an early start with the Franklin faculty, as Charlie Suhor’s drum student in 1961.
Nevertheless, dropped a few beats in my junior year and graduated from McDonogh. From 1965-1969, played rock and roll with Yesterday’s Children as lead singer and guitarist; Bill Moody played bass. Exited UNO in 1970 with a BA in English. Hip-booted through the swamps of poesy for a few years, doing graduate work and teaching at UNO. Published poems here and there. For big chunks of the 1970s, was associate director of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and director of the Louisiana Heritage Fair – the festival’s al fresco event at the Fairgrounds Racetrack. In 1980, was named first director of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation. Moved to New York City and graduated from Columbia University with an MBA degree in 1984. Worked at Drexel Burnham Lambert as a research analyst until the lights went out in 1990. Traveled for a while and then landed at Guardian, where I have been managing equity and derivative portfolios for almost 15 years. Married lastly in 1994 to a wonderful lady named Osa, whose career is in publishing. In 1996, we adopted our daughter in Wuhan, China. She is now 9 years old, plays a mean fiddle, and loves boiled crawfish. We live just north of New York City, in Irvington-on-Hudson.

I am a lawyer in Portland Oregon. I went to Tulane undergraduate in 1969 and then Northwestern University Law School finishing in 1972.

I have been in Oregon since then working first as a Public Defender and later as a trial lawyer. I did get in touch with Harry Rosenberg a couple of years ago. He is a lawyer in New Orleans and I heard active in the Republican Party.

Haven't had contact with anyone else although I would certainly be curious since I kept in touch with some of our class while we were in Tulane, Glen Akers for example and ran into our class president at Woodstock in 1969.

Let me know if you get information on anyone else.
