CHILD WELFARE COMMUNITY HONORS FENDLASON   22nd Judicial District Judge
Donald Fendlason of Bogalusa was honored November 29 by child welfare professionals,
educators and foster parents who gathered at Southeastern Louisiana University for the third
annual Child Welfare Conference, sponsored by Southeastern and the Louisiana Office of
Community Services. A 1959 Southeastern graduate, Fendlason was recognized for his work
with child welfare cases over the past three years. His service, he told the conference participants,
"has given me great respect for child welfare workers." Fendlason said working with child is
often sad and emotional, but also rewarding." From left, are Robert Couvillion of the Office of
Community Services, Fendlason, and Maurice Badon, director of Southeastern's Child Welfare
program.
