Missy (Melissa) Bishop Ballard

Probably the talent show senior year,-Go Elvis (aka Brooke Rhew) and our Jailhouse Rock Gang! I loved hanging out at Beaucatcher the mall. Going to the lake with Brooke and Airley in the summertime. Riding around in Sara Hefner's little white car on Patton. Derrick Barnes' silly notes left in my art cubby always made me laugh. Working at the Mall Theater....

I graduated from nursing school in '93, got married in 94, built a house in south Asheville, had little Kiah in '98 and Lauren in 2000. My husband, Kiah flies for U.S. Airways and loves to tinker with old Mustangs. Currently, I'm working as a Mother-Baby Nurse (I work with Shelly Lee Sales) at Mission and will finish my Master's in Nursing/Nurse Practitioner in a few months. Then, I'll never, ever go back to school again. My kids are great and are playing baseball and softball this year for the first time.

We love to travel and try to go to the Outer Banks and try to go a few times each year. I love to cook and still water ski every chance I get!
