"Hi Dale - Hope you and your family are enjoying the magnificent magic of Spring! It seems to me that everything that is important in life is re-emphasized with the arrival of Spring. It's called the magic world of nature. Anyway, Dale - the attached article came out in the Bunkie Record and Marksville Weekly several weeks ago. It is about what happened a long time ago very near Bunkie. You may, if you wish, include it in your magnificent Bunkie Website. What you have done over the years is truly amazing. Always a pleasure, Jerry LaFleur "

Jerry LaFleur has put pen to paper again as he delves deep into Louisiana history.  Jim Bowie - spent most of his life in Louisiana.  Jerry's writings are a must read...  I like Jerry because I like a good pat on the back every now and then.

Personal Footnote:
 I met Jerry and his beautiful bride, Silvia, once at the 50's reunion in 2004.  Although we have not seen each other since, we continue to keep the Emails flowing.  I hope, I know you will enjoy his writings...
