I have been married for 46 to Tom Reid.  I have learned to quilt and have made and given away 33 to date.  I belong to two quilting guilds that meet monthly.  We have two daughters and three grandchildren and we enjoy attending their games.  We live in Eufaula, Oklahoma but still attend all the UAFS basketball games.  I have become very active in the United Methodist Women's organization making pies and all sorts of items we can sell.

After HS I attended college at Westark then College of the Ozarks, (now University of the Ozarks).  I taught school for 12 years then moved to Oklahoma to work in group homes.  We opened 3 group homes in Eufaula, OK for teen age boys in who had been adjudicated delinquent.  About 1994 I began to get sick and in Sept of '95 I was transported to Salt Lake City and received an LVAD (Left ventricular assist devise) as a support until a heart could be found.  In Aug I received a heart transplant.  After a recovery time, I hit the ground running and went back to work.

 

In the evenings I like to do embroidery while I sit in front of the TV.  Of course I still like to fish and am a member of the local golf course.  We play from one to three times a week.

I graduated from the U. Of Arkansas in 1967. I lived in Dallas for ten years, and then our family moved to Tyler, Texas.  My ex-husband and I have four grown children, the last two were twins.  I have six wonderful grandchildren, four in Colorado and two in Austin.  My oldest son and his family live in Breckenridge, CO. My daughter and her family live in Denver.  My two other sons and their families live in Austin, Texas. I hold two Education Master's Degrees: Curriculum and Instruction, and Administration.  For over 34 years I lived in Tyler, Texas. Unfortunately I divorced in 1993.  I have taught school for many years.  My last position is teaching at the college level.  I moved to Denver in June of 2011. I am very active in my church, and I teach ladies Bible studies, usually by Beth Moore.  I spend a lot of time with my four grandchildren in Colorado.  I love the Colorado weather! The sun shines over 300 days a year.  I enjoy gardening, attending water aerobics classes, reading, spending time with friends, and playing Mah Jongg. I love to travel, especially going to see my sons and their families in Austin.  I am certainly hoping that I will be able to attend the reunion.  It will depend on my teaching schedule in the fall.  I would love to spend time with many of you! My high school days hold wonderful memories!

I won't be able to attend this year but hope everyone has a great time.  Miss you guys and Ft. Smith.

 

Tom and I have been married for 47 years.  We have been blessed with 3 daughters and sons-in-law, 8 grandchildren(6 boys and 2 girls), and 4 granddogs. I graduated from the University of Arkansas with a teaching degree. I retired in 2009 after teaching for 32 years(most of them at Cook Elementary where our children went to school and now where two of our grandchildren go). Tom is still practicing law but hopes to retire soon. We love to travel and also have a place at the Little Red River at Heber Springs.  I enjoy gardening and doing genealogy.  Much of our time now is spent caring for my mother and his father. Have enjoyed working on the reunion and look forward to seeing everyone.

Cissy Crampton and I are still married (after all these years). We have been blessed with two daughters, four grandchildren, and the joy of our lives, two great-grand sons and a great-grand daughter. I was fortunate enough to be able to retire fifteen years ago and I spend my time enjoying my family, doing Biblical research, taking daily walks (for physical and spiritual exercise), and following Razorback athletics and Cardinal baseball.

I am still married to Carl Rose and we have two daughters, 4 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren.  I am addicted to genealogy, love reading (especially like history and mysteries) and gardening.  Like to travel-especially when it is genealogy related (we went to Ireland last year) and I am getting more liberal the older I get (go figure - must be my 'peace and justice' Presbyterian up-bringing!)  I am really looking forward to seeing all of you, hearing about your families and your interests.

I taught school, mostly in Fort Smith, for 36 years and am now retired.  I have two children and five grandchildren.  My daughter and her husband live in Van Buren and have a six year old little girl.  I see her often.  My son and his wife live in China and have four children: three boys and a girl.  I visit them about every two years.

Mary and I will be married 49 years as of  July 23,2015. Our 3 children have blessed us with 11 grandchildren.  I retired in 2004 after 34 years in the petroleum chemistry industry. I continue to volunteer as an ombudsman for Kansas and as a guardian in special needs cases. I enjoy hunting, fishing and traveling with Mary. We especially enjoy camping with our 5th wheel camper.
