                 WOW, I can't believe I found this site! Great idea. After graduating in 1977, I joined the

                 Armed Forces....US Navy.  I completed my BS in Nursing at Western Carolina University

                 on a Navy scholarship. It was there that I met my wife, Cindy, and we now have two

                 boys(Chris & Alex). I anticipate retiring from the military the summer of 2000 and settling

                 in Highlands, NC. Still get back to Valdosta every now and then to see family and stir up

                 some old ghost.

                 This South Georgia girl has worked mostly as a secretary since graduation.  I’ve been with

                  my current boss for 22 years, which includes the last 4 years as a secretary with the

                 public defender’s office.  Single.  No children.  The best thing in my life is my family.   My

                 2 sisters and my brother blessed me with 3 beautiful nieces.  I also have a 2 year old

                 great-nephew by my oldest niece.  He is the first boy born in our family since my brother

                 was born in 1969.  We didn’t know it, but we needed that apple cart turned over.  He’s

                 such a joy to everyone.  And now my niece is expecting their second child in February. 

                 Right up there with my family are my wonderful friends.  How lucky I am to have these

                 people in my life!!  They’re better than chocolate! Sherry (Sandlin) Zipperer and I attended

                 the Friday night event of our 30 year class reunion.  It was great seeing everyone!  The

                 football game was fun, and the school has changed so much.  Looking forward to our next

                  class reunion. My favorite quote:  “Be the kind of person your dog thinks you are!”  (Think

                 about it…) Happiness to you all!  Hey Sherry! (’77)...Hey AmyP! (’78)

                 Yes, I married my high school sweetheart!  Richard and I married in 1981 and have 3

                 children.  Shanna,18 - Brent,11 - Kaylee,8.  We are still married and plan to grow old

                 together.  We have had decent lives even though we have lived through much heart ache

                 with our first born,Shanna, being born severely handicapped and spending most of her life

                 in hospitals fighting for her life.  We live with nursing care in the home for her part-time so

                 we can keep her at home with the family.  Richard has his own home repair business and

                 works part-time as a hunting guide (which he loves ). I worked for a local bank here in

                 Valdosta for 26 years until new Corporate America management let me go to keep from

                 having to pay for my handicapped child and my soon coming up retirement from

                 them.(Raw deal) I am now a stay at home mom which is harder work believe me!  I miss

                 the good ole days of high school and cheerleading and hope to hear from any of our class.

                  We had a wonderful class!!
