I have been into a lot of different things since 1968. I attended college for a while, got married and later divorced. I eventually went into my own business, LaVergne's Bail Bonds and later changed the name to Cookie's Bail Bond Agency. I was married to Robert LaVergne, Jr.,in 1981(now deceased 1992). I was elected to the Calcasieu Parish School Board in 1994 and served twelve years having the distinct honor of representing the same elementary school and high school that I attended as a child. I am now back in school finishing my degree in Criminal Justice and enjoying my grandchildren.
I received my Associate and am now currently enrolled in college finishing my B.S. in Criminal Justice. I say its never too late to learn!
This is an update!.
The last time I wrote I was trying to finish school. Fortunately for me, I did finish in July 2009. I will attend my graduation in Miami, Florida on January 30,2010. I will graduate Summa Cum Laude, 3.9 GPA in Criminal Justice. Also, My Bail Bond business is up and running and I am finishing my 1st year of business. I thank God for all of my blessings.
I enjoyed meeting and visiting all of you who attended our class reunion and look forward to seeing you guys next time.
UPDATE:
I have made a decision after much prayer, to run for District 2 School Board Seat again in this years October 3rd Election. There have been many people that asked me to consider doing so, so I will give it a try and I ask that you as my former classmates and friends consider supporting me in this endeavor for the sake of our children and our schools in North Lake Charles. If it is your desire, I would appreciate any kind of assistance offered. All work and funds are needed in whatever capacity you can do so. Please feel free to contact me at 337-274-8936(Cell) or home (337-439-2879). Again, Thanks for your consideration.
Your Classmate,
Sheral "Cookie" LaVergne
