     Janet  Brown [Brinson]                              Picture                                         bjbro915@bellsouth.net

                 I graduated from VSU in 1976, and married Byron Brown (class of 71) that same year. 

                 We lived in Gainesville, FL for 5 years, Thomaston. GA for 3 years, and have been back in

                  Valdosta since 1984.  Byron is an English professor at VSU and I teach 3rd grade at

                 Georgia Christian School.  We have three children- Laura (born in 1980) is married and

                 teaches school in New Orleans.  She and her husband were very blessed to have had little

                  damage to their home from Hurricane Katrina.  Alison (born in 1982) is married to a

                 physicist and she and her husband are working on their master's degrees at UT in Dallas.

                  Alison will be a speech pathologist.  They should graduate in December, 2006, and will

                 probably move to Huntsville, AL after that.  Our son Scott (born in 1988) will graduate from

                 LHS in 2007.  He plays baritone and trombone for the Bridgemen.  No grandchildren yet. 

                 Interestingly, my son and both sons-in-law are all named Scott, so holidays get a little

                 confusing.

                 Had i actually stayed in school long enough to graduate, i would have been part of the

                 1973 graduating class,, however life started happening to me before then and i had a baby

                 for graduation..  I am now divorced and living in lake park ga .  I have three children who

                 are smart and   compassionate and loving and are the only redeeming product of an

                 eighteen year marriage. I also have three grandchildren  who are showing great promise to

                  be as wonderful as their parents. this web site is a very good idea. thank you for your

                 efforts to keep people connected.  i thought it needed some input from the ordinary people

                  , so i put in my two cents worth.

                 I hope you remember me. I didn’t graduate with you but you were my classmates during

                 5th grade (Hahira Elementary), 6th grade (Pine Grove Elementary), 7th-9th grades (Hahira

                 Junior High), and the beginning of my sophomore year at LHS (1971).  My father retired

                 from the air force and we moved to Augusta. I graduated from Glenn Hills High but a large

                 part of my heart belongs in Lowndes County.  I got married and divorced when I was very

                 young and decided to join the air force as an air traffic controller.  After seeing quite a bit

                 of the world and most of the United States and remarrying, my wife and I decided to retire

                 from the air force in 2003/2002 respectively.  We live in Henderson, NV, a suburb of Las

                 Vegas. I work for a Department of Defense contractor at Nellis AFB and my wife is a

                 Nuclear Medicine specialist for Cardiovascular Consultants of Nevada.  I honestly feel like I

                  became the person I am today in part because of the teachers, coaches, and classmates

                  I had during my time at Hahira.  The memories I have of those school days will forever be

                 with me. I saw the pictures posted of the 30 year reunion and recognized a few people.  It

                 brought a smile to my face.  I would love to hear from each and everyone of you. And if

                 you ever plan to take a trip to Las Vegas, you will always have a place to stay.  A distant,

                 but hopefully not forgotten, classmate.
