No Rest For The Best

Beyond The Sports Page

After graduating from LSU in 1978 as a journalism major, Loyd spent two years as a sportswriter for the Examiner-Enterprise in Bartlesville, Okla. He then met and married his wife Kathy, today a human resources manager at LSU. The couple realized 80-hour-week journalism schedules did not coincide with a family life (they now have two sons, Jeffrey, 13, and Andrew, 11). From there, Loyd says, his true calling was clear.
