                  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!!!

                 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 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*

                 I retired from the history department at Valdosta State University, on May 31, 2007, after

                 30 years of hard work and dedication. I have two daughters who are 17 and 24. My oldest,

                 who will be 24 in November, graduated from Lowndes High in 2002. She is attending

                 Valdosta Technical College/College Of Applied Sciences pursuing a marketing and

                 entrepreneurship degree and a minor in business administration. She is on the national

                 college dean's list and is a member of DECA (Delta Epsilon Chi honor society for

                 marketing majors). My youngest, who just turned 17 a few days ago, is a senior at

                 Lowndes High looking to graduate as a national technical honor student, a Spanish honor

                 society honor student, and a national high school scholar honor student. After high school

                  she plans to pursue a degree in nursing and pre-pharmacy. So as you can see I am very

                 proud of both my daughters. My husband and I will be married for 29 years in November so

                  everything is going great for me right now!! I hope the best for the class of 1976 and

                 always remember: Go Vikings!!!

                 My sister Cathy (LHS 73) told me about this site and it was a nice surprise, just in time

                 for our 30th reunion.  My husband Ross and I will drive down from Macon where we live.  I

                 moved to Macon from Cordele in 1987 to finish school at Mercer to be a Family Therapist.

                   My other careers have been Aircraft Electronics,Bookkeeping,Probation Officer and

                 Childcare Center Director.  I have happily landed part time as a family therapist for a non-

                 profit agency in Macon these past 10 years.  We will ask my parents, Hank and Betty

                 Berry (that still live on Lakeland Avenue in Valdosta),to keep our 10 year old son and 6

                 year old daughter while we come to the renunion.  On this website Angie Goodin Sheffer

                 said she and Dan were late bloomers with a 13 year old daughter, Callie.  I guess that

                 makes us later bloomers. Let me help you with the math.  I was 42 when Kathleen was

                 born in 2000.  We had planned James and Kathleen-but had planned for them to be born

                 10 years earlier.  We are glad to have them now and have the best time raising them

                 together.  They have two step brothers, Matthew 22 and Tyler 21.  We visit Valdosta

                 several times a year to visit family and celebrate babies, weddings and holidays.

                 married in 1977. I married at 19 into a ready made family. I raised his two boys from his

                 years later! I now have four boys, Chris 31, Bryan 28, Zack 16, Cameron 13. I couldn't be

                 happier. Just got laid off from a 10 year job as an Administrative Assistant for a

                 Telecommunications company here in Atlanta so right now I am unemployed and helping

                 out in our family business. My husband Donnie and two older sons work together in our

                 helps keep us young!  My mom and brothers (Louie and Tony) still live in Valdosta and we
