“Harry L. Hooker never met a stranger.”
Affectionately known as Col. Hooker, he worked for over 30 years in the Louisiana Dept. of Corrections and part-time with the DeQuincy Police Dept.
When he attended Governor Foster’s Louisiana Chapel Foun-dation Fundraiser in 1998, he had no idea that a chapel would be erected at Phelps in 2002 and dedicated to him in 2009. He died May 23, 2009.
Proceeds from the Annual “Holy Smoke” Cookoff and Praise Festival and other donations help fund this university and vocational training scholarship for DeQuincy High School graduates.
