Comments: Still here after all these years... but have added husband, Mike; two sons, Brian and Ben; daughter-in-law, Heather; and the most perfect grandchildren, Ashlen and Brooks. I now teach teacher wannabes at Athens State University. See you in November!
2019 Update: I will be unable to attend this time...the reunion coincides with another commitment made over a year ago. I think I was holding out trying to figure out how to do both. All is well. I am fully retired and enjoying grandkids. I still live on the same plot of ground I grew up on, but Mike and I have downsized. We moved in the smaller house my mom and dad built when Mike and I got married. My youngest son, his wife, and two little girls have moved into the house I lived in for 67 years!! ☺ My oldest son, his wife, daughter, and son have also built a home on the same land. We are blessed to have everyone close. Please tell everyone hello for me! And much love to all! 1969 does not seem like it was 50 years ago!!

Occupation: Director of Engineering
Retired?
Hobbies: Music, bicycling, and golf.
Comments: Have only made one reunion so far, coming to this one. The boys are out of college and gone (one has a touring rock band, the other's in medical school). I'm still engineering by day and doing music at night (sing with a professional chamber choir and sing and play guitar, mandolin, and banjo solo and with different groups). Linda's still teaching. We have plenty of room, come visit Savannah.
2019 Update: I’ve been married for 43 years to Linda, a middle school teacher (math and Latin), who retired this year. After getting a BS in Civil Engineering from the University of Alabama and an ME in Structural Engineering from the University of Tennessee and passing the Professional Engineer (PE) exam, I have worked for utility companies, the highway department, the federal government, and city governments as design engineer, construction engineer, project manager, and Public Works Director. For most of my career I have been Director of Engineering. For the last 30 years I was first Savannah City Engineer and then Director of Engineering for the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, where I still am. We have two sons: Corey is a surgeon and Andrew is a rock star who travels the world. I still play folk, pop, country, and bluegrass music on various guitars, banjos, mandolins, and other instruments. We have two grandchildren four years old, a boy and a girl, one from each son. I am gearing up my people for me to retire in another year or two.

Occupation: Assistant Professor of Reading/Elementary Education at Stillman College
Retired? Not yet. Tony retired two years ago and wants me to join him; however, I enjoy working and having a set schedule. I’m just not ready to take the plunge. Besides, I like having an income. I want to work two more years, and then I will seriously consider the big R.
Hobbies: Travelling with my family (England, Scotland, Holland, Ireland, Mexico, and various sites across the US), reading (when I have time), wathcing classic movies, and researching geneology. mostly sitting with family and friends with a glass of wine or a cup of tea and sharing how wonderful life really is.
Comments: 2019: I’m trying to wrap my mind around the fact that it has been 50 years since we were fresh faced kids ready to take on the world after graduation. I am also remembering the close friends we have lost over that span of years. It is a bitter sweet trip down memory lane.

Comments: Phil continued to practice internal medicine until 2011, when he was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment. For the next two years he read novels back to back, while doing crossword puzzles and anything else he could to keep his mind active. We went on a cruise, snow skiied with daughter Meredith and her family, and enjoyed Smith Lake with Amy and her kids. In 2013 his diagnosis became Alzheimers, but he tried to hang on, losing most of his language skills around 2016 and 2017. Amy was murdered in 2017–then the slide became steep. This January he moved into the Memory Care Unit at Westminster in Cullman.
