                 I moved to Atlanta after graduating from VSU and have lived here ever since.   I was a

                 have 2 boys, Cole who is 11 and Tyler who is 6.  System 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                 been replaced by baseball and Boy Scouts.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 while I'm there.

                 I married Kevin Blanton, also Class of '82, and we have one son, Garrett. We actually live

                 in Adel (just in case anyone 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

                  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!
