Any of the motels out by the Natchitoches Exit off I-49 are good. As for a good breakfast....the I-Hop on I-49 at the Natchitoches Exit has some good food. If you want an evening meal...I would recommend- for seafood - Marriner's Restaurant, 5948 Hwy 1 Bypass (phone (318) 357-1220), for Mexican food- Nicky's Mexican Restaurant, 4108 University Parkway (phone (318) 352-1538, for a good burger, etc...- The Landing Restaurant, 530 Front Street (phone (318) 352-1579, and for steak- Trail Boss Steakhouse, 301 South Drive (phone (318) 352-2080.

Thanks. We will probably stay right off 49. Not sticking around long. Getting in late and leaving early but I wanted to try a good local breakfast place. Not i-hop.

D-Day, June 6, 1944, 69 years ago today. A generation that survived the great depression went out and defended the liberty of the nations in the face of an evil alliance that had taken life and liberty from many, and set most of them free. Those who were blessed to return worked hard to keep my generation from such challenges. Their number is ever shrinking. If you can find someone 88+ years old today, tell them thank you. Even better, take some time and inquire of them all their experiences they can share with you. You will not regret it if you truly value your freedom and want to know how blessed you are.

It seems like most of the early breakfast eaters in Natchitoches eat at McDonalds or Burger King. The only local breakfast place I would recommend would be Lasyone's Meat pie Restaurant. It is in downtown Natchitoches, 622 2nd Street, phone (318) 352-3353. However, they do not open til 7:00AM. If you leave early and are going through Alexandria, LA, it would be worth waiting the hour drive and eating breakfast at Lucille's Red Kettle Grill,3746 MacArthur Drive phone (318) 445-6642. It is a mom & pop restaurant and the food is excellent. They open at 5:00 AM and are open til 1:00PM. That sounds more like what you are wanting.

Thanks 70. I think we will try Lucille's. Appreciate the recommendations.

I have eaten there many times. Lucille told me if I left hungry, it was MY fault. When the waitress sees that you are almost finished eating, she will ask you if you want some more. If you say yes, you will be given more at no extra charge. The service there is great and the food is excellent and the cost is reasonable. I know you will enjoy it. I hope you have a safe trip. GO DAWGS!!!

Mine was one of the first to say Louisiana Tech University. But, my senior ring said Louisiana Polytechnic Institute .

Does your ring have the T in the stone?

Made the mistake of getting the white gold ring which was very popular then. Looks good with the blue stone. However, nowadays some people can't afford gold so they get steel and the white golds looks a lot like steel.

Outstanding thoughts!

Nope, my finger got larger and I took it to Balfour dealer in Shreveport, LA about three years ago to have it sent in for resizing (no cost except for shipping). The Balfour company called me and said they would have to make a new ring for me (again at no cost). They wanted to know if I wanted LPI on it or LA TECH. I decided to go with LA TECH. I never did have anything put in the blue stone.

This probably belongs in the Alumni Section but hardly anyone posts there. When I graduated in May of 1969 they gave me a miniature of my dipolma and it had LIFE TIME MEMBER LOUISIANA TECH ALUMNI ASSOCIATION on the back. While I always considered payment of dues to be making me an "active" member they have this special section of the Alumni Association for lifetime members. I guess for making large donations. I consider myself a lifetime member whether I pay dues or not (I usually do). How late did they do this?

I got the same miniature diploma with lifetime member on the back when I graduated in November of 1970.

I think more people read this thread than the Alumni Section threads. Post here and you may get some answers.
