oth Jim and Anne Lockhart meet people easily and with a perceptible warmth. Although neither was born here, these two have been an integral part of this community for almost all of their lives. Each has influenced countless people – young and old -- through many varied interactions with the public. For Jim, a career in the hospitality industry was the perfect fit for both his organizational and management skills. Managing a private club for 35 years required both. Jim’s unflappable personality (plus a remarkable dry wit) served him well as he spent decades working with the staff to create a team responsive to the wishes and needs of their dining public. For Anne, her two careers – both focused on developing long-term personal and financial relationships with all sorts of people – were an equally perfect fit. Whether she was representing her bank or her university, Anne always met any challenge with grace, charm, and a delicious sense of humor. Because they have each contributed so much to the quality of life in our area, Jim and Anne Lockhart are our BayouIcons for December.
