                  groups.  In 1976 I entered the ministry. Since that time I have served as evangelist and

                 pastor.  I'm currently the senior pastor of a church in Brunswick GA.  I have a lovely wife,

                 Angel, and two sons, Jason and Austin.  Life has been good and I hope all my "old

                 classmates" are doing well. It was great to find this website and see so many old friends.  I

                 have many fond memories of Lowndes High, especialy the band, and Billy Martin.

                 I went in the USAF during Vietnam, Feb.1975; was medically retired 1989, athritis and

                 ulcers. I never went to Nam; but as a Medic, I took care of them when they came back. Saw

                  some terrible things. My Dad was never the same after he came back. I went back to

                 school on the GI Bill, got my Paralegal Degree from Lake Sumter Community College; but I will

                  never work for an attorney. They are all crooks! I thought about being a school counselor

                 because they helped me so much; so I have about 3 years of psychology courses, too. Just

                  need to add them all up and find out exactly what I need to get a degree. Was married

                 before and have a wonderful 27 yr old daughter. She was the Angel God gave me. Still

                 waiting on grandkids; but I work in the Church Nursery, so that helps alot. Dave and I have

                 been together 11 years. I have a truely blessed life. My husband is so good to me; but in

                 previous relationships it wasn't always that way. God saved me the "BEST" for last. Right

                 now, I am trying to decide if I want to stay in Nursing or go into Real Estate, or Counseling.

                 Florida is really booming. We have too many people coming down here; so Dave and I will

                 probably be moving back to Georgia in about 10 years. He is from the Ocala area and works

                  for the City/Electric Dept. I told him he could retire when our home is paid off. He's got 10

                 years or less. We live in Ocklawaha, which is near The Villages. That place used to be 12

                 miles away. Now it's about 5. Them old farts are moving in on us! But wait, I'm an old retired

                 fart, too!! We are very involved in the MVPA. We also have a Jeep Club, Just For Jeeps of

                 Florida and my husband is almost finished restoring a 70 AMX. He lives in the garage after

                 work building vehicles. He is the "Jeep Man" mechanic around here. We have an M-715 he

                 is going to build next. I wanted a little blue AF Medic Jeep and he built me one. His son

                 wanted an ARMY truck. We have an olive green J-10 with all the army trimmings, except the

                  machine gun. He loves building these vehicles, so that is probably what he will do when

                 we retire. We might just have to go to Thomasville, GA and give Russell Deese some

                 competition. Ya'll come and see us!!
