We try to go see our grandkids in Pennsylvania and New York twice a year.  Ray is a part time GED teacher and Lucy does floral arrangements. We both are active in our church.

Evelyn is one of our "missing" classmates.  Her last known address was 106 Ellis Drive, Pensacola, Florida 32507.

Some of the things I enjoy are grandkids, fishing, boating, restoring/maintaining my 1979 keel drive Shamrock (boat), woodworking, reading and cooking.  I am active in church where I teach Sunday school, sing in the choir, cook for the Men's Prayer Breakfast, and help supervise at Parents Night Out.  I spend time everyday doing research on the Internet, corresponding with friends and relatives, and walking my Jack Russell "Lady Bug".  She expects to be walked six times a day.

I have been a housewife and also kept books for my husband.  We built commercial buildings and houses.  My husband passed away in 2001 from cancer.  I am spending my time at Gantt Lake here in Andalusia.  My friend and I moved a brick home up there.  I hope to spend each summer at the Lake.

Patricia is one of our "missing" classmates.  Her last known address was 6024 Kingswood Drive, Milton, Florida 32570.

Following graduation I worked for Gulf Power. Married Fred King a PHS grad in 1962. Kim was born June 1965 and Fred (Ricky) in July 1966. This completed our family. We moved from Pensacola to New Orleans in 1967. This was followed by moves to Baton Rouge, Nashville, back to New Orleans and to Mobile in 1974. We were happy to be back close to Pensacola and parents. Wonderful years as the children grew. An active family, we enjoyed all water sports, fishing, riding dunes in our jeep, camping, board games and spent hours collecting and cataloging wreath pennies. Many hours devoted to ball park refreshment stands, scout leader and room mother at school. Always involved in church activities where ever we lived.  As the children grew older I began a banking career with SouthTrust Bank. Graduated LSU Banking School. Served on committees with Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce, Business Women of Alabama, and President of Mobile Exchange Civic Club for two terms. Enjoyed helping with Relay for Life and Exchange Club's Family Center organized to teach parenting skills to high risk families. I retired early in 2001 to spend precious time with husband Fred who died in 2002 from cancer.  Now I provide care for my 89 year old Mother suffering dementia. Joy comes to me each day in many ways. A loving family, grandchildren and one great granddaughter. She also lives with me so I read books, play "dress-up", host tea parties, and her magic wand can turn me into an animal in seconds. Her natural curiosity, imagination and "smarts" amaze me while giving me hope for her future.
As time allows, I enjoy gardening,theatre, war history and traveling. I cruised Mexico from the Gulf side and Pacific. Toured Europe and spent six glorious weeks in Vietnam. I hope more travels are in my future. In the fall my passion turns to SEC football, Of course BAMA is my choice to be #1.
Music is my best friend. Favorite song "Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong with "Angels In Our Midst" by Randy Owens a close second. Roger Hester was my favorite teacher. His style helped many with average talents pull together to form a choir that I feel was the best in Florida at that time. Those memories are still vivid in my mind today. My dream car is the 1955 T-Bird.
God is my strength. His love and protection have allowed me a very rewarding extradordinary life.

Fourteen years ago I adopted a Vietnamese family who had fled Vietnam around 1975. I have never known a couple work so hard to ensure quality of life for three small sons. The highlight was the day US Citizenship was granted to the mother in a crowded Atlanta Court Room. They are truly my gift from God.

I enjoy playing golf, walking, riding my bike and reading.  We are both active in our church and are involved in several Mardi Gras organizations.  We enjoy spending time with family and friends.
