grandparents were Fielding and Sadie Jamieson. Fielding Jamieson had a
40-year career working for Louisiana Power & Light Company. Sadie
Jamieson was an LVN in the nursery at Minden Hospital. Ann’s mother
was Elizabeth Jamieson Mays. Bonnie’s dad was Pearce Jamieson, founder of
the Jamieson, Wise, Martin C.P.A. firm. Bonnie’s mother was Martha Life Jamieson.
