                 Hello everyone from Class of '81!  It was great to see all of you a few years ago at our

                 reunion.  Since graduation, I attended VSC for 2 quarters and dropped out.  I moved to

                 Atlanta for about a year and then moved back to Valdosta.  I worked a couple different

                 jobs in Valdosta and then got into the restaurant business for about 6 years and moved

                 around Georgia and out to Texas and then back to Camilla, GA.  I left the restaurant

                 business and went back to VSC.  After about 3 years of college, I dropped out again and

                 moved to Jacksonville, FL.  I lived in Jacksonville for about a year and then moved back to

                 the Atlanta area.  I got into the mortgage business and was completely burnt out after 7

                 years of it and I quit.  I didn't know what I wanted to do so I took a sabatical and moved to

                 Mexico for a few months.  When I returned to Atlanta in November 1999, I took a chance

                 and applied for a software technician position and I've been with the same company for the

                  last 6 years.  I have taught myself Spanish over the last 8 years (thanks to what I

                 remembered from Mrs. Hare's Spanish classes) and am now fluent in a second language.

                  It has proven to be very helpful at work in dealing with people from around the world.  I'm

                 currently living in Lawrenceville, Georiga (Northeast suburbs of Atlanta).  My mother of 75

                 years who has Alzhiemer's lives with me.  Now I work and take care of my mother.  I

                 return to Valdosta pretty regular to visit my sister and her family (Ann Aligood when she

                 was in school and class of '79).  I would love to hear from any of you out there, especially

                 those who are living in the Atlanta area.

                 career. If anyone is in the Atlanta area feel free to get in touch, I would love to hear from

                 you.  I didn't know about the 25 reunion so i didn't have a chance to see anyone there.
