Comments:

I began working for The Balfour Company after I graduated from West Georgia in 1983 and have represented them ever since. I started my own company in 1993 called Scholastic Images Inc and we represent several companies products for class rings ,graduation announcements and cap and gowns in schools from Gwinnett county to Athens and several counties in West Georgia

School Story:

After being dragged away from Calhoun to Carrollton to finish High School, I graduated from West Georgia College with a major in marketing and immediately moved to the Atlanta and have been in the area ever since. I met my wife on a blind date in 1985 while she was a senior at the University of Florida. We married in 1986 and settled in the Duluth /Suwanee area of Gwinnett county. I have loved living here and spent many hours trying to replicate my childhood experiences in Calhoun here in the suburbs of a big city. I have to say it has been very similar for my children at their high school, Peachtree Ridge. I really appreciate the committee continuing to include me in the class of 79 festivites

Which classmtes do you still see/talk to/hang out with?

None I hope to catch up at this reunion and renew some friendships

What is on your "bucket list" (something you want to do before you die)?

To spend a month on a boat in the US and British virgin Islands.

What are your hobbies/interests?

I love following UGA football and keeping up with my 16 year old's swimming. He is on a Swim Atlanta select team and travels around the southeast to swim.I love the beach and spend several weeks there a year at our house on Blue Mountain Beach in the panhandle.My Dad and Mom have a farm in Bowdon GA and I enjoy riding horses with him when I find time. I play no golf or tennis just family ,home and kids.

How old do you feel?

I try to feel younger everyday but it is getting harder and harder.

What is your favorite and least favorite memory of CHS?

Obviously leaving Calhoun is the least favorite memory comes to mind first. My best memory is hanging out with friends and playing football.

Did you ever skip school?

Are you kidding?? HaHa No way

Name all the states you've lived in.

Georgia

Name all the countries you've visited/lived in.

Several counties in Europe and Mexico
