                 Hello everyone.  I still live in Valdosta.  I work as a Software Consultant and travel around

                 the US as I work on various projects.  I married Louise Moses (VHS), in 1985.  We have

                 three kids, (Melissa 12. Jarrod 10, and Kendal 9).  Since I travel during the week, I am left

                 with very little time to spen with my family.  This leaves me with even less time to try to

                 stay in touch with my old friends.  Please contact me, and let me know how you're doing.

                 been very rewarding.  We also have Kyle, 16 and Ashley 19.  My awesome husband and I

                 have been involved with youth for several years as well as traveling abroad and the US in

                 mission trips with our church.  I'd love to hear from you!
