After graduation, Brad and I got married in August. We had our first daughter, April, in 1980. Our second daughter, Amber, was born in 1982. I was a stay at home mom. My husband and I still live in Dumas(actually Back Gate). Brad works at Potlatch(papermill) and I am a teachers aide. April is married and has two children, Patrick and Emma Kathryn. She is a Respiratory Therapist at Arkansas Children's Hospital and lives in Mayflower. Amber is married and is adopting a baby boy which is due in august. We are so excited. She is a Speech Language Pathologist for the Arch Ford Education Co-op. Brad and I attend the Assembly of God Church at Watson where my dad has been the pastor for over 30 years. Our house was struck by the tornado that hit Dumas in 2007. We have rebuilt and feel very blessed.
