Quagelin Lopes Phillips

I met and married my husband in the same year (1991). I have been married for 17 years and have 3 children. My husband was in the Marines and we traveled for the first few years of our marriage. We've been back in Albany for about 9 years now and things are going well. We are close to friends and family and we both have jobs we love.

One of my most memorable stories is during one of our pep rallies. Larry Mallory sang a Luther song and all of my friends were losing their minds. The boy can sang!

Another of my favorites is being a part of the WHS band my freshman year. There were well over 200 members and someone got kicked off the field every single day for not holding their instrument correctly (it eventually happened to me also). I have to admit that I took time to learn all of the music that year. The next year, Casey & I would talk to each other on the field instead of playing music. That was my last year in the band.
