Outriders Night at McNeese Theatre
Retired McNeese faculty, staff and friends came together to enjoy "Outriders Night" at the McNeese Theatre on March 15, 2012, to see All My Sons. A wine and cheese social was held prior to the play on the second floor of the Shearman Fine Arts Annex. Approximately 20 retirees joined us for fellowship and theatre.
McNeese retirees are eligible for two complimentary season subscriptions to McNeese theatre. For more information contact the department of performing arts at 337-475-5028 or http://mcneese.edu/performingarts/.
Seventh Annual Outriders Picnic
The seventh annual Outriders picnic was held April 19, 2011, at the McNeese president's home. Dr. and Mrs. Philip C. Williams were gracious hosts, and the crowd was entertained by the McNeese Steel Drum Band. A fun time was had by all, and we are looking forward to next year's picnic.

Outriders Christmas Party
The third annual Outriders Christmas party was held December 13, 2011, in Parra Ballroom. The Christmas spirit filled the air as friends visited and enjoyed a delicious meal together.
Outriders at the McNeese Homecoming Parade
The Outriders enjoyed special seating at the 2011 McNeese Homecoming Parade. Bleachers were reserved on Ryan Street across from the President's house.
Those who watched the parade were treated to candy, beads, music and floats decorated to the homecoming theme "Riding Into a New Era."
Outriders Satisfaction Survey
The McNeese Foundation received the results from an Outriders satisfaction survey that was mailed in July along with the annual membership letter.
The foundation emphasizes that a successful relationship with its donors requries two-way communication of ideas, critiques and constructive feedback. Click here to see the survey results.
Looking for a former co-worker but don't know where to start? Please call the Office of Planned Giving at 337.562.4191 or e-mail Jennifer Pitre to see if we may be of assistance.
Mary and Charles Zebley
After a teaching career that began in 1960, Charles Zebley is enjoying his well-deserved retirement. His
tenure at McNeese State University began in 1967 as an instructor of physical science and physics lab courses. As if teaching college science wasn’t enough, Charles also taught at St. Louis Catholic High School during his lunch hour, oftentimes eating his sandwich in the car on the way. His passion for education led him to teach advanced math, calculus and physics full-time at St. Louis in 1996, although he continued teaching a technology physics night course at McNeese for nine years.
During his McNeese career, Charles was promoted to associate professor and taught beginning astronomy and a variety of physics classes. Over time Charles slowly reduced his teaching load, and officially retired from St. Louis Catholic High School in May 2011. He still teaches ACT preparatory classes at St. Louis in the fall and spring and was inducted into the St. Louis Hall of Fame in 2009. Even though he and his wife of two years, Mary, are relatively new to the retirement scene, they are enjoying it. As a retirement gift to himself, Charles and Mary recently traveled to Israel and Italy. Mary, a McComb, MS native, worked for 30 years as a medical insurance billing specialist.
The couple has five children and five grandchildren between them. The Zebleys stay healthy walking around the McNeese campus and take pleasure in gardening and working in their yard. Charles also plays golf with fellow Outriders member, David Frantz. Mary and Charles are active parishioners of Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church and enjoy participating in Outriders activities such as the spring picnic and Christmas party.
