Trey married a very pretty young lady named Casey from Cairo, Ga. on July 14, 2006 and we were blessed with a GRANDson Trevor Greer, on June 13, 2007
I spend lots of time in south Ga. where my Trev lives as Grand Dude keeps working to pay for gas and new tires for my car.
Through all the pleasure and pain we've been very blessed.

I loved my high school years, all my clasmates, all the ball games, parties at my house, we did have so much fun. I can think of lots to tell and will note them before reunion. I'm still in a great deal of pain missing my Mom.

I think my scariest experenice was sneaking to the Gravitt's Restaurant during class, with Donna Walker, WHO talked me into it. We didn't get caught but I knew if caught my Dad would have punished me for a life time.
Then there were all the parties at my house after games, and my Dad would wake me every Sat. morning OR Sun. morning, before church and I had to get up early and pick up the beer cans in the ditch on Springfield Road. I did not drink and Dad would never elimate our parties. I would fuss and he would say, tell your friends not to drink, I would tell him I didn't have any friends, that excuse never worked with Dad so, Thanks to all of you that helped make that happen, by the way, that's a sarcastic remark. I still love all of you !!! And the party fun was really worth picking up your littering. My parents were great, I miss them both so much.
