With my life there is just no way I would attempt to put 50 years in this space because it isn't a short story! However, recently my husband Wayne and I have done a little traveling since he retired as Founder/President of CMC Supply in Roanoke in 2004. We have homes on both coasts of Florida and travel back and forth. We also like Tuscan or somewhere in that area and are thinking of trying to find something there as well. We are just enjoying life and I also enjoy my two grandchildren; Jessica and Alec

The best part of my school years began when I started attending WBHS my Junior year. I really wish that I could have had more years with this class. Then there was the New York trip. What a great experience. Getting up really early and being on "The Today Show" on a rainy morning with Martha Burkholder and attempting to answer a question that I knew absolutely nothing about was exciting and embarrassing at the same time. Getting lost in Macy's and being left, losing my purse at Radio City Music Hall and not having any money and getting sick on the ride around the Statue of Liberty on that boat. Also, the train ride and the night club with Shirley Hunter singing. Lots of fun. Lastly, but definitely not least, are the wonderful and lasting friends I found at Wm Byrd. You all are the best. Memories - forever.
