Jerry Huckaby
Thomas Jerald Huckaby, usually known as Jerry Huckaby (born July 19, 1941), is a retired businessman who served from 1977 to 1993 as a Democratic U.S. Representative from Louisiana's 5th congressional district, at the time mostly in the northeastern quadrant of the state. He lost his position as an indirect result of reapportionment in 1992, when Louisiana forfeited one of its eight seats in the United States House of Representatives because the state grew in population during the 1980s at less than the national average.
==Early life==
Huckaby was born in Hodge in Jackson Parish to Thomas Milton Huckaby (1907–1973) and the former Eva Butler (1911–1990). Huckaby is descended on both sides by pioneer families. In the 1840s, two brothers, Green and James Huckaby, settled in the since disbanded community of Sparta, which was the parish seat of Bienville Parish from its founding in 1848 until 1893, when the courthouse was relocated to Arcadia. Green Huckaby was the great-great-grandfather of Jerry Huckaby. After Thomas' death, Eva married Minden businessman Cecil C. Toland (1905-1976), but he died soon into their second marriages.〔Billy Hathorn, "Otto Passman, Jerry Huckaby, and Frank Spooner: The Louisiana Fifth Congressional District Election of 1976", ''Louisiana History: The Journal of the Louisiana Historical Association'', LIV No. 3 (Summer 2013), p. 344〕
In 1942, when Jerry was six months old, the family moved to Minden in Webster Parish. His father operated real estate and insurance businesses. Huckaby graduated fifth in his class in 1959 from Minden High School. He played on the MHS Crimson Tide basketball team, played in the band, was elected to the student council, and edited the school newspaper. He then studied electrical engineering at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, from which in 1963 he received the Bachelor of Science degree. He was student body president of the college of engineering and a member of Kappa Alpha fraternity. Five years later, he obtained a Master of Business Administration from Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia.〔''Louisiana History'', pp. 342, 345,〕
From 1963 to 1973, Huckaby was a management executive for the Western Electric Company, which later became Alcatel-Lucient. He was in Atlanta from 1963 to 1969, and then in Chicago from 1970 to 1973. After he left Atlanta, with his MBA in hand, Western Electric dispatched him to complete a nine-month non-degree program at Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey. In 1973, he left Western Electric and returned to Louisiana to become a dairy farmer at his former Hallmark Farms in Ringgold.〔''Louisiana History'', p. 345〕
