MARKSVILLE'S OLDEST HOME

Hypolite Bordelon House is one of the oldest homes in Avoyelles Parish. This reminder of both a simpler and harder time in the parish’s history is an important link to the history of this parish and its people. After being closed for a few years, the small museum will be reopened on May 1. {Photo by Raymond L. Daye}

COUVILLION AND HIS GIRLS

Jeremy Couvillion is shown here doing what he loves most -- spending time with his "four girls," (from left) Maria, Julia and Madeline and, not shown, wife Johanna. Couvillion is a native of Plaucheville now serving as principal of Westdale Middle School in Baton Rouge. Although he has won several honors, the "win" he is most proud of is his victory over cancer last year. That experience taught him that every moment is precious and should not be wasted.
