Comments:

Just trying to make a living and rasing my two boys, that make proud every day.I been married to Tracy Skidmore(class of 1980) for 23 years. She has done a great job of helping raise to wonderful young men. They are our life. Nate is a 2006 graduate from EG and is now a junior at Greensboro College, where he is playing football and has started every game since he arrived. He is studing business. He was a pretty good athlete at EG. He recieved the athlete of the year award his senior year, He was state runner-up in wrestling as a heavyweight. Zac was 2008 gradute from EG and is now a freshman at Lenior Rhyne College studing engineering. He also was a pretty good athlete a EG, but got injuried his senior year and had to have two surgries on his foot and his senior was pretty much a wash. Still if you hadn't noticed I'm a pretty proud Dad. I've worked at Freightliner here in Mt. Holly for 22 years. I also had the prevelidge of coaching football at alot of levels including 6 years at our own East Gaston and 2 years at Mt. Holly Middle. So, I consider myelf A pretty lucky man. I'm looking forward to our next reunion. Got laid off in Nov. 2008 and now I'm a freshman after 30 years. Russell, if you and scott put this together ya'll did a great job. If there is ever anything I can do just let me know. Just thought I give a little up date on my boys. Nate's a senior this at Greensboro College and has been selected to be one of the team captains of the football team. His little brother has joined him at Greensboro and is also playing football there. It has been 2 years since I was laid off and still not working. But I only have one more semester to graduate with a two year degree from college.
