The children and grandchildren of Jimmy Alexander surprised him with an 80th birthday party combined with a “thank you” party for all the friends and family who helped them after the flood which damaged so many of their homes. In addition to the hosts, Angela, Sarah, Morris, and Brian and their spouses were the sisters, brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews of Jimmy’s late wife, Carolyn. Also attending were former employees of Jimmy’s, his brothers Robert and Charles Alexander, their wives Jeannette and Bobbie, children Bob and Lamar and grandchildren. You can imagine his surprise and happiness when everyone entered. There were approximately 75 or 80 people at the Forest Grove Plantation in Denham Springs, Louisiana.
