In addition to the group named by 90 there was a world class trampoline athlete, Judy Ford. Miss Ford transferred back to Illinois in order to run for Miss Illinois and won that title on her way to winning Miss America in 1969.

she was at USL to be coached by world renowned gymnast coach Jeff Hennessy.

Here are a few world champion, national champion and gold medal winners by Coach Hennessy. Source Wikipedia (Among the most accomplished of Hennessy’s athletes were his daughter and world champion Leigh Hennessy, world champion and 1984 Olympic diving medalist Ron Merriott, world champion Stuart Ransom, national champion and 1969 Miss America Judith Ford, world champion Jim Yongue, world champion Don Waters, world champion Gary Smith, and world champion Wayne Miller) all USL athletes.

Arkansas track coach John McDonnell winner of multiple national championships was an Irish runner for USL, his best event was the two mile if I remember what he told me correctly. He was a very good runner, not world class. We often had lunch together. He had food piled to the ceiling on his plate as was a rail, while I was lets say much thicker and a lot less food.

Olympic silver medalist winner Hollis Conway 1988.

She was so awful she didn't even try to run for re-election. There are some states (Virginia, for example) where the Gov. cannot run for re-election, but Louisiana is not one of them. Stop for a moment and think of how few governors voluntarily step aside after one term in office. Think how utterly discredited you'd have to be, that you don't even have enough support to make the race, never mind actually winning the race.
