                 transferred to Macon, Georgia where I worked for another five years. Then, again I was

                 moved to Atlanta Georgia. I worked there five years. At that point I was tired of moving. I

                 met my husband who is from Birmingham, Alabama. I put in a transfer this time for

                 myself.  I moved to Birmingham. I married my husband. We have both retired and we do a

                 lot of traveling. We own a home in Birmingham. We are both very active in the church. As

                 a matter of fact I was the church secretary for 13years. I resigned in January of 2009. We

                 have several trips planned for this year.  I lost my mother in March of 08 and I have not

                 been back to Valdosta since. I am praying for strength to come back there for a visit.

                 Together my husband and I have 7 children. I have lost track of how many grand kids we

                 have. This is where I am until the master calls my name.

                 communications maintenance and spent four years as a first sergeant.  I moved a lot, of

                 course, living in six different states and two other countries, the Philippines (twice) and

                 England.  I retired in 1998 and now live just outside San Antonio, Texas.  I am married to

                 24.  He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1998 and now lives in Dallas and

                 works for Intuit.  (No daughter-in-law, no grandchildren.)  Since retiring, I have gone back

                 to school, taking some classes at one of the small local colleges--primarily computer

                 classes.  I've taken up hobbies I never dreamed of before I retired such as gardening and

                 quilting and recently have begun computer scrapbooking.  One of those classes I took

                 was a web page design class and one of these days I'm going to get around to designing

                 my homepage.  Most of my family are still in Lowndes County and I usually get back to

                 Valdosta about twice a year.

                 I married a Florida girl, Catherine, in 1976. She was raised in the Air Force, so the lifestyle

                  fit her perfectly. I retired from the Air Force in 2000, and I'm working on my second career

                 with the Georgia Department of Veterans Service in Decatur, GA. Catherine is a stay at

                 home wife and mom who takes terrific care of me, although if she had her way, I'd still be

                 on active duty! She is happily involved with the American Legion Auxiliary and is a Support

                  Member of the American Legion Riders. We have 2 children, a boy born in 1978 and a girl

                  born in 1982. We have 4 grandchildren, 2 girls and 2 boys. All 4 belong to our boy. He

                 and his wife are expecting again in October 2008. Our girl returned to Georgia in 2007 after

                  living in California for awhile.  We are happy to have her back home.  Her mother says

                 she's not letting her leave again! All in all, life is good.
