Watching Coach Sevier step in a groundhog's hole on the baseball field during football pactice and no one wanted to help out. Coach Ivy's idea of physical education ... rolling out the wrestling mats, giving each guy one boxing glove, pairing up two guys, blind folding each guy and letting them go at it until he blew the whistle. What kind of mind could dream up this stuff?

As with many well laid plans, my course changed and I became a nurse manager. I married in '83 and had 2 wonderful children-Paige 19, and Tanner 17. The marriage ended in divorce in 2003, but I met my best friend Bevie and we had a wonderful beach wedding in '06. I still live in Candler, but we spend most of our spare time at our lake place at Lake Keowee and our beach house at Myrtle Beach. We ride Harleys, scuba dive, dance, and stay very active. Life is good!!! Look forward to seeing everyone!

After HS, I entered the US Air Force. I was trained in Aircraft Communications Maintenance. Kunsan Air Base, Korea, was my first duty station where I met and married my husband David. We've been married for 28 years. I separated from the USAF in 1980. David was still in and we were relocated to Mildenhall, England where both of our sons were born in 1980 and 1982. We returned to the US in 1982 and Dave separated from the service in 1983. We moved to Lancaster, CA where we spent 13 years in the Mojave Desert. David was a Software Engineer at Edwards AFB, CA for the aeronautics industry. I stayed home with my boys until they were in school at which time I became an Educational Asst. for the Lancaster School District working in varied capacities. We moved to Holden, MA in 1997 and we all fell in love with New England. David is a Systems Test Analyst for Raytheon International out of Marlboro, MA. I worked with the local school district as a Special Ed. Asst. and Abnormal Behavior Analyst until 2004 when I retired due to physical disabilities. Now I am living each day as it comes. My main job is to work for Health, Home and Happiness in our lives. I retired the same year that my boys made their big move into the world. Not something I would recommend. Talk about a life change! In order to help myself through the Empty Nest and After Retirement life adjustments I adopted and continue to spoil the heck out of a beautiful Siberian Husky named Nikolai. Our two sons are JD (Jonathan David), 27, and Matt (Matthew), 25. JD received his Bachelor's Degree from Pratt Institute of Art in Brooklyn, NY and his Master's of Fine Art at the Glasgow School of Art in Glasgow, Scotland. He is a professional Artist living and working in Glasgow, Scotland. Matt received his Bachelor's degree from Univ. of MASS at Amherst and his Master's Degree in College Student Development from Appalachian State Univ. (Neil and Susan, maybe your daughter may know Matt he was a Residents Director from 2004-2006 while working on his Master's program.) Matt is a Director of Residential Life at Wagner College on Staten Island in NY, NY. We are very proud of both of our sons. We enjoy many things here. Dave is into cycling, hiking and volley ball. I'm taking Tai Chi and gentle yoga classes and I love to swim and go snowshoeing with Nikolai. Together,besides visiting our boys in Scotland and NYC, we enjoy many excursions with our friends. Check out our website above. (Around these parts I'm known as Annie.) We are loving the life we have here in the beautiful New England countryside.

She's a real hoot and keeps our worn out joints moving.

No doubt about it, it was winning the girls state basketball title our senior year. The pep rallies were exciting too. Do you remember when we blindfolded some male athletes, who shall remain nameless, and told them that they would be getting a kiss from a cheerleader and had to guess which one it was? They were really giving it their all playing tongue hockey, only to find out when they removed their blindfolds, it was their own MOTHERS!!!!! I don't think they saw the humor in it that the rest of us did! Some people. HA!
