Cliff Ammons
Clifton R. Ammons (February 17, 1918 – July 28, 1981), known as Cliff Ammons, was an educator and businessman from Many, Louisiana, who served from 1960-1964 as a Democrat from Sabine Parish in the Louisiana House of Representatives.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Membership in the Louisiana House of Representatives, 1812-2012 )〕 He is principally remembered as "the father of Toledo Bend Reservoir", a large recreational and power complex on the Louisiana/Texas border.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Headlines from the ''Sabine Index'' )〕 Toledo Bend encompasses parts of four counties in Texas as well as Sabine and De Soto parishes in Louisiana. It is the largest lake in Texas and the largest waterway of its kind on the borders of Texas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Toledo Bend Reservoir )〕Lake Pontchartrain in southeastern Louisiana is much larger in area, but it is a brackish estuary and not a true lake.
==Background==
Ammons was born in Negreet in Sabine Parish, a son of Oriel Lee Ammons (1896–1968) and the former Velma Alford (1900–1992). After graduation from Negreet High School in 1935, he procured a Bachelor of Science degree from Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge. He also obtained a master's degree from Stephen F.

Their children are Dr. Dianna Drew Johnson of Memphis, Tennessee, formerly Dr. Dianna D. Redburn of Houston, Texas,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Larry Wayne Ammons )〕 and Suzanne Jeanne Ammons, Robert Dale Ammons, and Kenneth Ellis Ammons, all of Many.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ethel Jeanne Matherne Ammons )〕 The youngest son, Larry Wayne Ammons (1953–1993), died at the age of thirty-nine of heart complications in Lafayette.〔
From 1940-1944, Ammons operated a dairy. From 1945-1947, he worked for the Veterans Farm Assistance Program. From 1947-1948, he was the principal of Fisher High School in Fisher in Sabine Parish.〔 From 1948-1967, he was an agriculture teacher at Many High School, with service there corresponding with his term in the state legislature.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ammons, Cliff )〕 As an agriculture instructor, he was also the advisor to Future Farmers of America. During summers he organized two-week trips, many out-of-state, for the FFA members. He taught his classes with a "learn-by-doing" approach.〔
