Mr. Victor Woodrow Chase

  Mr. Victor Woodrow Chase was reunited with his wife, Mae Ross
Chase, on Friday, March 23, 2001. He was residing in Grace Home
in Shreveport. He had his daughter, Linda Chase Ferguson, son
Zane Chase, son-in-law Joseph C. Ferguson Jr., daughter-in-law
Junellen Osborne Chase, and niece Eleanor Cottrell by his side.

  Mr. Chase was born on the Ridge in New Durham, N. H., on
November 15, 1918, to Fred and Ella Chase, and enjoyed childhood
with his 13 sisters and brothers. World War II found Mr. Chase on
maneuvers near Pleasant Hill, and he met and married Mae Ross
before departing overseas for war.

  Mr. Chase attended a one room school house on New Durham Ridge,
and completed eight grades. With Mae's encouragement, he received
his GED, completed a Bachelor's degree in education from
Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, a Masters degree
in 30 hours above his Masters in school administration, from the
University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Ark.

  In the early 1950's, Mae and Vic settled in Zwolle, and he is
remembered by many as "Coach", and taught many high school
students during his career with Sabine Parish Schools. He may
also be remembered by some as "Vicha" the Magician, and he
delighted many young and old alike with his magic shows. He is
also remembered as "Grizzly" by many of his hunting friends
throughout the Parish.

  His grandchildren, Honour Ferguson Zucco and her husband Anthony
J. Zucco, Shana Chase Ellis and her husband Jon Ellis, Joseph C.
Ferguson III and his wife Kay Elmore Ferguson, Kara Chase Landry
and her husband Jay Landry, and great grandchildren, Jordan Zane
Landry, and Caitlin Chase Zucco, will remember him as nothing
less than "Grand"
