Claudette Stephens McDonald

...moved to Brownwood in '64 and graduated from there...received teaching degree from Abilene Christian and began teaching in Austin.. married my husband in '76. We moved to Bryan in '82. He's retired from the US Post Office.
We now enjoy time spent at home and visiting family. Hope to go to Alaska in next year or two.

Band was my main activity in high school and I especially enjoyed practicing with the French Horn section, getting ready for UIL. Ray Lagard, David Smoot, Janie Thompson, and I always had fun together.
We all took Latin together and gave Mr. Arnold ( a New Yorker with an accent !!) a difficult time. He has crossed my mind many times when I've had to deal with fun-loving teenagers in my classes. We all get back what we send out, that's for sure.
Since retirement I do lots of reading, some gardening and sewing( mainly home decor). Our health is good and we put lots of effort into our diet and exercise... work out with a trainer etc. Last month Mike lost 15 lbs. and I gained 1:)
