Debra Laha Wadley

I moved to Dallas in December of 1978. My children were born there. We moved back to LR when Thomas was 3 weeks old. My kids attended Mills HS. Our old school rivals.
My first job was at Ken's Pizza on Geyer Springs Road and I've been in the restaurant business since then.
I returned to college after my kids were older and graduated from UALR in 1996 with a business degree. I really didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up (ha). I just knew I would not be happy working at a desk or with kids (there's a reason I only have 2) so I'm still in the restaurant business. At least I can say its never boring, its always entertaining. I have met quite a few famous and unusual people over the years. I've been at Doe's for 18 years now.

Some of us who live in Cloverdale went to LifeLine Baptist church for Kindergarten. I remember on the first day Dana Cobb was the leader of the line and lead us in the plegde of allegiance (?)and I was mad because it wasn't me. Even the teachers knew she was a born leader when we were 5 years old. Didn't make any difference that she had attended the year before and actually knew the pledge and where we were going. I was still mad at her.
