What to write after so many years .... it's been fun working on this organization committee, seeing and looking for "old" faces.  We had a marvelous class and I look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible.  Personal info - I still live in Fort Smith, married, the mother of four of the most wonderful kids evah!  And grandmother of 3 of the most beautiful talented kids on Earth .. thank you Brent Robinson.  I am a retired legal secretary but still active as a rehab counselor.  Life is good in Fort Smith, Arkansas (as said by a native Tennessean).

I have lived back here in Ft. Smith for 11 years now after having been away for 30 years as an Army wife.  I have enjoyed being back  so much in my hometown where I was born.  I am married to the dearest man on earth, have three sons and four grandchildren, all of whom I adore. I am active in the church in which I grew up. That is very special to me. I so look forward to seeing all of you old classmates at our reunion in October!

After graduation I moved to north central Nebraska where I worked on a large cattle ranch and continued to rodeo until I got smart enough to quit and leave it to younger guys. I got my pilots license while there as it was about 60 miles to town. I joined the US Air Force and spent almost 6 yrs active duty. After schools I was stationed at Little Rock AFB, Kadena AB, Okinawa and Altus AFB, Oklahoma. I had numerous TDY's to England, Thailand and throughout the US. After my discharge I flew charter instructed and was a Pilot Examiner. The last 26 years I flew corporate aviation. I was based in Nofolk, Va., Atlanta, Ga. and Little Rock. I retired in 2008 with over 14,00 hours and six type ratings. I never lost my love of cattle and have a small place where I raise a few head and hay. My hobbies are photography, cooking and of course eating.  I have not figured out how to "upload" photos to this site.

2023 - 

I quit ranching a few yrs ago due to health reasons and moved to New 

I have always worked - secretary/bookkeeper, real estate and am now working part-time as a personal assistant to a private individual.  I started taking night classes at Westark starting in 1973.  In 1989 I enrolled full time and received an associates degree in 1991.  While working in the construction industry for general contractors and architects I was active in National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) serving as Chapter president in 1985.  I have been married - no children.  I keep busy with church activities, my family and friends, and my home.  Love this time of my life!
