I have not really been involved with my old high school classmates but find that the older I get the more nostalgic I become. I have stayed connected with Diane Farr and occasionally run into someone I went to school with. Anyway I thought I take the time to post a little about me and me history since 69.

In 1969 I married Jimmy Perkins from the class of 1968. We had 3 children but divorced in 1981 (I think). Unfortunately Jimmy died of cancer a few years ago. I am happy to say that we were friendly at the time and my husband and I were able to support our children and his wife through his illness.

I re-married Robert Sullivan in 1988 and had Holly. She is 15 years younger than my youngest from my marriage Jimmy. Pretty much raised as an only child. Now, this may be TMI but again I went through a divorce.

23 years ago this month I married Barry Harless (class of 71). He's been my soulmate!
After my second divorce I went to nursing school - I was 44 when I graduated with an associate degree and 48 when I finished my BSN. Nursing has been very good to me and the best thing I ever did (beside my kids). Currently I am retired, blessed to have a home I love in Ralph, Al and stay busy with life and grandkids! I love Disney World so while some are traveling the world I'm in Epcot!

Hope this finds all who read well and happy. I fondly remember TCHS and miss that we no longer have a school.
