Life since 1969:  So much to tell, so little space. I received a college degree from Old Dominion Univ. in Va. and Regents College in New York. I entered the U.S. Navy and was an investigator at a nuclear base near Norfolk, Virginia.  After my college and Navy years I found my vocation in law enforcement. I have been employed by the Department of the Interior, the California Police, and the California prison system.  I have also been an entrepreneur and have owned several businesses.  At one point I was a tattoo artist and developed my skill until I was rated as one of the top ten female tattoo artists in the nation.  I am in the original book "Electric Tattooing 1900-2003" that depicts all the female tattoo artists in the world. I love historic homes and enjoy creating interesting living spaces.  While in Nashville, Tn. Kim had a Holistic/New Age business for a while but we made the move to Ft. Lauderdale. We really love it here with all the warm weather and the ocean.  We have both traveled extensively and seen and done many things and we hope to continue to see and experience new places, health and funds permitting. 


Message to classmates: I really didn't do a lot in high school. Mentally I had moved on and was just waiting for my body to catch up. I often skipped class and went to Memphis State to "sit in" on classes there. I found those subjects much more challenging. Sooo...even though I remember many of the names and faces of my classmates at Messick I really didn't know their personalities. Nor, have I stayed in touch with anyone. I looked at the memorial and was saddened by the large number of classmates that we have lost over the years. Thank you, David Garrett, for contacting me. I do send everyone my best!
