                 Air Force as a Missile Launch Officer.  We have a daughter, Lea,  that is now 21 and a

                 son, Jed, 16 years old.  We are also proud grandparents of a 7 mo old grandson, Deston.

                  In the military, we spent 5 years in North Dakota - (Know what separates North Dakota

                 from the North Pole?? A chain link Fence!Burr!!), another 5 years in South Dakota

                 (Beautiful!!) and another 5 years in Missery--opps--Missouri. After that we had to

                 opportunity to take an early out, and decided we had seen enough of the world and settled

                  in Covington, Virginia.  We are in the Alleghany Mountains just north of Roanoke. 

                 Covington is still a small town and we've enjoyed raising our children here.  I do get back

                 to Valdosta on a regular basis and see a few of my old friends. To all of my old

                 classmates--Hello!! GO LHS!!!

     Margie Laraine Blanton [Spearman]         Picture                           mblanton@guardianbankonline.com

                 I just celebrated 32 years in banking and I love it.  I retired as CFO and HR Officer of

                 Commercial Banking Company in Valdosta, stayed home a couple of years and then

                 answered a call to return to banking as a loan officer and branch manager of Guardian

                 Bank.  I was married to John Thursby (class of 1974) for ten years, married to Freddie

                 Daniels for 13 years and divorced for seven years.  I love class reunions!  I met an old

                 classmate (didn't know him in school), Jeff Blanton (class of 1975) and married him in July

                  2008.  The third time's a charm!  He's the best husband ever! I've had a house at Twin

                 Lakes for 13 years and he has a home in the country so we enjoy the best of both worlds.

                 I never had children but have some wonderful nieces and nephews.  I rode motorcycles

                 during my divorced life and I loved it.  Met a lot of fun and wonderful people and riding was

                 something I never dreamed I'd ever do.  It was good to see everyone at our reunion a

                 couple of years ago.  Everyone seemed the same.  Wish you all the very best!

                 After graduation - attended VSC for couple of semesters before getting married to a

                 wonderful young man, Cyrce(who is my current "old man")!  Cy is from St. Louis so we

                 moved here to settle down and raise a family.  Before starting a family though we took

                 long detour - via college/univeristies and beginning new careers.  I earned BA -

                 Psychology and BS - Social Work from University of MO - St. Louis and MSW from

                 Washington University - St. Louis.  I worked as a clinical social worker/manager for 20 yrs

                  in mental health field.  I switched career recently and am utilizing my "people skills" to

                 robotics engineering and works for Boeing in St. Louis.  We have 2 handsome sons, 17

                 and 15 attending LHS (Lindbergh High School).  I cannot believe I will be celebrating 30yr

                 anniversaries - high school graduation and marriage!  Wow - where did the time go?

                 After graduating I went to VSC for a couple of years, had a thought to be a teacher like my

                  mother, but realized the pay was not the greatest.  Took a couple of years off to find my

                 'footing', then decided to get out of the south Georgia world, so I joined the Navy.  After

                 boot camp, I went to weather school in the midwest for 6 months, and was shipped off to

                 Bermuda for 2 years.  Darn the luck!  There I played volleyball, softball and basketball,

                 though I was not nearly as fast as in my younger days....you know the ole saying....the

                 heart has the spirit, the body just can't keep up!  From there I was stationed at Mayport,

                 outside of Jacksonville for the last 2 years, where I decided I would go back to school for

                 computer science, which I did at night, and got my BS just after leaving the Navy in '87. 

                 Worked in Jacksonville for a few more years, then took a job in Columbia, SC, which in

                 turn sent me to Sidney, Australia for about 3 months.  Not that I had a chance to see

                 it...working  too many hours in a day, I felt like the doughnut man...."Time to make the

                 doughnuts".  From that job I went to Atlanta, where I lived for the last few years, but am

                 selling my house there as I am now in the new england region of my company.  I currently

                  am a senior software consultant, have a wonderful partner, and am having to 'learn' how to

                  be a mommie, which for those of you who know me, probably think that is no problem. 

                 Hope all is well with you...take care....Insane DeVane....*s*
