expanded. Cesar and I have been

development and design have been replaced by baseball
and Boy Scouts. I visit my parents
in Valdosta as often as I'm able. It's always nice to run into a familiar face

tries to find us in the phone book) but I work in Valdosta so for all practical purposes,
I am from Valdosta since that is where I spend the majority of my waking hours. I think

I graduated from the Air Force Academy in 86.
My eyes went from 20/20 to 20/100 so instead of pilot training,
I started my Air Force career in space operations. I spent most of my 20 years before retiring this past year in
research & development and acquisition (Theater Missile Defense,
Airborne Laser, ICBMs, and numerous satellite programs). My last job in the Air Force
was as the Air Force Manager for a wideband
communications satellite system. Since retiring in Los Angeles, I joined LinQuest
Corporation as a Principal Systems Engineer.
I live in Redondo Beach, Ca with my wife Marcie, son Ben (7), and daughter Maddie
(2.5). Oh yeah, and I have a
daughter (Christina) at the Academy of Art University
in San Francisco (gulp) and another (Grace) at University of California Santa Cruz (double
gulp). Both are freshman. I've lived in Colorado Springs, Co- -Cape Cod, MA--Boston,
MA--Washington D.C.--Albuquerque, NM and now Redondo Beach, Ca. I'm five blocks from the beach and probably
here to stay. Wish I could have
made it to the reunion.
Maybe next time.

Life gets in the way of
living, but I’ve done my fare share. Moved to Atlanta, thought that
would go somewhere, it
just brought me back to south ga. Met a guy at the old holiday inn(of all places). Got
married, had 2 kids (got rid of his ass), with help from family got
my act together and we started
over in this little place called white springs, fl. Met this truck drivin' guy by the name
of Bill Cason (blue eyes), got married, got the kids raised up, had
a truckin' business along
the way, and am now a certified pharmacy tech working for Shands. Bill is still truckin'
it for beaver dump truck service of Live Oak, FL. Montana, now 22 is the artist and musician
in the family. He also has gotten his CNA Cert. From the state of FL. and also works
for H&M Bay of Maryland at the state farmers mkt.in white springs. Julie now 21 was
pursuing a modeling career but life happened and she had angel 1 named Adalie and then Texas and is married
to the army life by the name of Adam Cowart from White Springs.
They are presently stationed at Ft. Bliss, TX. We commute back and forth a lot but
here on the Suwannee River is still where we call home. Raising kids (and not just mine)
on this river has been an experience, but I don't think I would have done it any different. I (we) still go to Hahira
quite often to the family farm out in Shiloh. We still have the farm
and a few of the 'family' live there. It's still farmed by my bro. Jimbo.
I have also gotten into
my "native" roots and can be seen dancing at pow wows or gatherings all over. Montana
has made a name for himself being a native american grass dancer. Huh! How about
that and coming from Mickey moose. Thanks Allen Adams.

Hey everybody! I was thrilled to come across this web site
while surfing the net. Although I have been gone from Valdosta for almost 17
years, I have visited as often as possible and tried to keep up with
old friends. I've been married
for almost 17 years to Scott Curtis. For those of you who remember, he was the Army
guy I met at band camp summer before our junior year.
We have 2 beautiful children, who are actually young adults.
Danielle is 15 and quite
a stunning young lady if I do say so myself. Our son is Drew, who is 14, 100% all boy, and is growing into a fine
young man. Our family has traveled
and lived all over the world,
thanks to good ole Uncle Sam. Scott
has actually just retired from the US Army this past January 1st after 20 years
of service. So we're getting
a taste of what its like to be civilians.
He has now began a new career as a corporate Jet pilot for Executive Jet International.
I was a stay at home Mom for almost 10 years and loved every minute of it. Given the choice again, I would make the same
choice. It has paid us dividends in the long run.
I went to work outside the home about 7 years ago with Sprint
telecommunications. With the largest merger in telecommunications
history on the horizon, we'll see what
the coming year brings. I would
love to hear from any and all of you, and catch up. I think of those days at Lowndes High so often
and with so much happiness. Those were truelly some of the best times of
my life. The Class of 1982 will always hold a very dear
place in my heart. "Go Vikes".
This was a great idea, many thanks to all who have
worked to put it together!
