- Paul_L._Foshee abstract "Paul Lee Foshee, Sr. (born November 12, 1932), is a retired crop duster from Natchitoches, Louisiana, who served nonconsecutively in both houses of the Louisiana State Legislature during the 1960s and 1970s. From 1960 to 1964, beginning at the age of twenty-seven, Foshee served a single four-year term as a state representative from Natchitoches Parish. He and former Representative Curtis Boozman (1898–1979) were elected in a two-member district in which the incumbents, Monnie T. Cheves and E.H. Haynes, were unseated in the 1959-1960 election cycle. Haynes was a former agriculture teacher at Natchitoches High School.Eight years later, Foshee was elected to a single term in the Louisiana State Senate. He unseated 20-year Democratic Senator Sylvan N. Friedman, a pro-Long farmer, cattleman, and large landowner from Natchez in Natchitoches Parish (not to be confused with Natchez, Mississippi). After securing the pivotal Democratic nomination, Foshee then handily defeated in the general election held on February 1, 1972, the Republican Bob Reese, a businessman who later became chairman of the Natchitoches Parish Board of Election Supervisors and served on the Republican State Central Committee from 1968 to 1996. Reese had earlier run for the Louisiana House from Jackson Parish, having been defeated by future Speaker E.L. "Bubba" Henry.In the first ever nonpartisan blanket primary in 1975, Foshee was unseated by his fellow Democrat, Donald G. Kelly, a Natchitoches attorney originally from Coushatta, the seat of Red River Parish. In 1979, Foshee’s 23-year-old son, George Barnes "Barney" Foshee (1956–2000), failed in an attempt to unseat Kelly, who scored the second of his five terms in the state Senate. In 1987, Foshee himself unsuccessfully challenged Kelly, 25,619 votes (62.5 percent) to 15,346 (37.5 percent)Foshee is descended from an old-line Natchitoches family, which first came to the Cane River area from Paris, France, in 1690. His parents, who married in 1928, were George Washington Foshee (1893–1973), a veteran of World War I and a sawmill operator in Natchitoches, and the former Mamie Lee Smith (1906–1991). Foshee was reared in the Baptist Church. In 1950, he graduated from Natchitoches High School (renamed Natchitoches Central High School after desegregation), and in 1961, he completed studies for a bachelor's degree in social science at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches.Foshee himself has been married and divorced six times. From his first marriage to the former Charlene Addington, the daughter of Charles Garland Addington and the former Wanda Vera Smiddy (1916–1975), he had four children. Paul Foshee, Jr. (born 1951), operates Foshee Dusting Company in Natchitoches, the business that Foshee founded in 1952. Foshee, Sr., retired from flying in 1998.From the first marriage, Foshee also has a daughter, Fran Lea Foshee Poole, and the late son, George Foshee. A fourth child from the first marriage, Christie Cheryl Foshee, died at birth; no dates are marked on her gravestone in Fern Cemetery in Natchitoches. From the second marriage to the former Venita Ann Higgs, since deceased, Foshee had a third son, Lane Chase Foshee (1970–1999). He has no children from his subsequent marriages to the former Martha Martinez, Joyce Wall, Karen Cook, and Katherine Joan Phares (born ca. 1938), who resides in Shreveport.Foshee considers himself to have been an independent "good government" type of legislator, concerned in particular about bills relating to insurance, reducing taxes, and removing from the state payroll, so-called "deadheads" or phantom employees who perform little or no actual work for their government checks. Though outgoing Governor Earl Kemp Long supported Foshee's initial election to the House, Foshee considered himself neither "pro-Long" nor "anti-Long" within his state's then dominant Democratic Party.Foshee holds Patent 5033695, July 23, 1991, on the Aileron counterbalance mount bracket used on the Brumann crop dusting plane. The device operates similarly to power steering in automobiles. The patent expired in 2010.".
