Well I didn't marry until
1989 then I married a great friend and companion who believe it or not is still with me. Started
to work for her father at Adel steel, inc.(from the ground up) as a shipping supervisor and
am now (2002) president of the company. Life is better than I ever dreamed it could be
and am doing better than I ever thought I would be (probably a lot of you thought too ) my wife had two kids from
previous marriage but they were young when we met and I have
basically helped raise them so I consider them mine and I have 3 grandkids and expecting
a 4th next year hope life is good for the rest of Lowndes high graduates.!!!!!!!!!

Married the military twice.
If you remember who I am you know I got married while in highschool (STUPID) to
the airforce. Moved away and lived in Hawaii, Idaho, Georgia, Tennessee and now North
Carolina. Have three children, ages now are 18(boy), 15(girl), 10(boy). All are due to
go up in age as of time of this entry. My oldest is about to join the
military. Going Army. He
tried college but decided it wasn't for him. As for me, spent the first four years away from
home living in Hawaii doing what else, but partying. 18 was the legal age at that time.
After that moved to Idaho where I continued my partying and worked at a Dairy Queen for four years. During that
time I became day manager and head cake decorator. Not quite sure
how that all happened since I was pretty wasted most days. Got divorced during that four year time frame and
worked other jobs for awhile, (K-Mart, Circle K) to name a few. Got remarried
and he joined the army. I then moved to Georgia for about a year, then to Tennessee/Kentucky for 8 years.
I say both states because we were stationed at Fort Campbell
and part of the base is in Kentucky and the other half in Tennessee. I actually lived
in both states while there. During my time there I worked on starting several home based
businesses and final settled on a Home Day Care for about a year and a half. Then after
I couldn't take the parents anymore. (That's right, parents not children) I went to work
at a Jewelry Store (Zales). I then moved after six months and now I'm in North Carolina. Going on 5 years. Since
I've been here I've worked for an attorney for four years, got my Paralegal Diploma asked her
for a raise she said no, I quit and now work for the Community
College making more money working part time than full time for the attorney. I'm going
back to school for a business administration degree and am president of the Psychology
Club. I do some catering on the side when I'm not busy with classes. My daughter and
I have our own little business called "Mom and Daughter catering." My dad
and brother still live in Snake Nation. My mother passed away about
10 years ago. My dad still
has the family house and is very active in the Senior Center there in Valdosta. My brother
is over at the car dealership off of I-75 working as I think superviser of the auto parts shop. Well that's it for me
at this moment.

After grad I attended Valdosta State briefly then moved into Retail
Management. I now live in Savannah, Ga. married for 17 yrs to my highschool sweetheart that
I met in California. We have 2 children. I now work in the area of Computer Technology
for training, consulting and certifications. During that brief time
as a Viking I always felt I was on the outside looking
in due to leaving one High School in my senior year for another. I would not advise this
to students to do. It takes away from the bonding and experience
of High School. My goal for my children is to give them the opportunity to live and
go to school in the same community for as long as possible. I would never change my childhood
with moving around with the Air Force, the positive things that come out of
it for sure out weigh the negative.

I moved to West Virginia
right after Graduation in 1983. I
was married in September of 1983 and made my home near
St. Mary's West Virginia. This
is where my family was from so I had lots of Grandparents,
Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, etc... to be around. I went back to college and received
an Associates in Data Processing. I
had joined a local emergency squad and soon
became a Paramedic and Firefighter on a volunteer basis. I began working full time
as a Paramedic for a hospital based service in 1988. 1n 1990 I began Nursing Prep Courses
and became enrolled for the RN class in 1991. I divorced in 1992. I graduated Nursing School in 1993. I was in an accident in 1993 which injured my
hip. I went through numerous therapies and eventually
had surgery in 1994. I went back
to college in 1995 to get
my Bachelor's in Nursing and another Bachelor's in Business. I graduated from Both in
1997. I began working with a
private company who worked with Workers' Compensation claimants.
I became a Medical and Vocational Rehabilitation Consultant. I worked for this company for almost 3 years
and decided to go at it on my own. I met a wonderful man and was Married in July
2000. His name is Tim Stone. He is 12 years older than me and actually has 2 grandchildren.
Morgan was born in 1994 and Katlyn was born in 1996.
They are very precious to both of us.
At this time, (2002), I am running my own company
called Professional Case Management Services.
I work out of my home doing Medical and
Vocational Case Management for WV Workers's Compensation and other
Private Insurance Companies. I
presently employ one other full- time case manager, a full
time secretary, and a part-time accountant. I am about to hire another case manager in
the upper part of the state to begin working that region. God has blessed me so much. My brother (Herb Trace - Class of 1982) showed
me the website while I was visiting him
and told me to go on and write. I
did because I so enjoyed seeing what others have done and
hope one day to reunite with some
class mates! I know I have my 20th reunion coming up next year! Tim and I are planning to start a family later
this year. My parents, Jim and Marolyn Trace still live
in Hahira, Georgia. Hope to hear
