The McKenzie family, including Taylor Porter Of Counsel Shelby McKenzie and his son, our firm's Director of Administration Charles McKenzie, are featured in this month’s LSU Foundation Cornerstone Magazine.
The McKenzie family has three generations of U-High graduates. Shelby, an inductee of the U-High Alumni Hall of Distinction, and his wife, Molly, graduated in 1957, followed by their children, Doug, Charles and Leslie. The youngest of their five grandchildren — all of whom attend or graduated from U-High — will graduate in 2022.
The family has supported U-High throughout the years, participating in the annual appeal, capital campaigns and the Bench Tribute Project, donating a bench for the school in memory of Doug, who passed away in 2014. Charles and his wife, Elissa, volunteer for the annual appeal’s phone-a-thon.
Charles also serves as vice chair of the ULS Foundation Board.
