Lots of wonderful experiences over the past 41 years since graduation.No regrets whatsoever over life's twists and turns. Many corporate relocations in the U.S plus living outside the U.S for a while. We returned to Birmingham a few years ago after having been away for 25 years. I still travel quite a bit outside the US.Reconnecting with old friends & classmates over the past few years has been terrific. Working with the reunion committee was a special time. It has brought together a very diverse group of our classmates who will continue to get together long after the reunion of 2010.

After my fun years at Berry HS, I enjoyed 4 years at Auburn before marrying a fellow AU grad & moving to San Antonio, Texas. Truly a wonderful place to live, San Antonio became my home away from home for the next 30 years!! During that time I enjoyed all that South Texas has to offer, made life-long friends, became passionate fans of the NBA's San Antonio Spurs & in my spare time forged a career first in the medical field & then transitioned into the insurance business when I joined 17,000 other employees of the giant insurance conglomerate - USAA - that's headquartered in SA. I enjoyed an amazing career with USAA, divorced along the way & remarried a fellow USAA'er - my very own King!! We worked together & enjoyed rewarding careers with a company we've been proud to be a part of all these years. When time for retirement came, King & I longed to return to the South to be nearer to family, so we migrated cross country & settled in the Lake Norman area just north of Charlotte, NC. We live on this huge, beautiful lake & enjoy lake living to the fullest, along with the 4 seasons we've missed for so long. Once settled in our new home, we added a canine "child" to our family - Mac - our 100+ pound Yellow Lab who truly rules our "roost" & adds much joy to our lives. King's alma mater - Davidson College - is nearby & we really enjoy supporting the college & its sports programs, especially basketball. With Birmingham only 6+ hours away by car, we manage to work in numerous trips down I-85/I-20 each year to see my family members still living there - mom, sisters & their extended families. We all share a love of Auburn football & family gatherings are great fun, especially as my many nieces & nephews are now having children of their own!! Last fall, King amazed us all by winning a Coke Rewards contest which gave me the once-in-a-lifetime chance to lead Auburn's Tiger Walk into Jordan-Hare Stadium before the big Auburn-Alabama football game.....WOW!!! We met the team & coach & got to go on the field prior to the game, before doing our level best to help our Auburn Tigers ALMOST pull off a giant upset!! It was an experience only a King could provide......lucky me!! All in all, must say that life has indeed been truly blessed.
