Comments:

After graduation, I attended ASU in Jonesboro, fell in love and married in 1984 and will be celebrating my 24th anniversary this year!!! I have 2 children, Jake who graduated from Lee Academy in 2006 and Luke who will be a Sr. this year. I worked for the federal government for 17 years and then my husband allowed me to follow a dream that I had since I was little, open and run my own restaurant, Dreamers in Marianna. In the fall of 2007 I was offered the Director of Food and Nutrition at the hospital in Forrest City and basically they made me a offer, I couldn't refuse. After much heartache, I chose to close my restaurant 12/31/2007 as I could not work my new job and keep the restaurant open. I am very active in Lee Academy as a parent. I am President of the Lee Academy Booster Club and also a Secretary of the Lee Academy School Board. It is funny to see how the school and things have changed over the years. I have been proud to be an alumni and volunteer and will be sad when my son graduates. Seems like the Lee Academy chapter will be closing in my life.

Well, it's now 2010. My youngest has graduated high school and is now a Sophmore at UCA.

I now have a grandson, Hayden Parker who was born on February 16, 2010 weighing in at a whopping 3lbs 4oz. He was 7 weeks early and spent 4 weeks at Arkansas Children's Hospital NICU. He is now 6 months old and is doing great. Personally, I think he is the smartest 6 month old in the world.

Still working and spending time with my family and keeping my grandson.

10/13/2012 - Have made a big move to Hannibal, Missouri at the end of 2011. Terry's company re-located him here. While I miss my family still in Arkansas, I love our new hometown.

School Story:

Sherry, remember Miss Mckinney and the eraser dust in shorthand? Remember Senior Lounge? I found the receipt for our gift to the school...lounge furniture we purchased a couch, love seat and chair all for a whopping 215 dollars, whew must have been top of the line right? Remember the bell at Marvell Academy changing color to orange and our cougar becoming red?
