Sorry I can't attend the reunion. I've really enjoyed reading what everyone's been doing. Thanks, David Bruhwiler and Kim Randall, for letting me know about this website. I live in Hawaii and work at the University of Hawaii, College of Education managing projects. I've been married for 7 years and have a nearly two-year old boy. Please post how to contribute to the memorial to our classmates.

Dr. Randle was in a bad motor vehicle accident in 1995 and had some bad knee and other orthopedic injuries. I was her 'Physical terrorist' for part of her rehab. This was in 1995 or 96. She was a tough cookie through all that! She is good friends w/ Ms. Nesbitt who came to see her often while she was in rehab. I haven't heard anything since then.

What ever happened to Mrs. Leffler?

USA - Tuesday, September 17, 2002 at 16:06:29 (EDT)
Yeah, but they're not in Memphis anymore, so that's a good thing! ? Anyway, I liked Mr. Murphy. As far as teachers go, I suppose some of them are still in the area and I noticed a lot of teachers among our ranks. Are y'all putting those address lists and e-mail systems to good use? Is anyone aware of teachers who have passed away? I had heard Dr. Randle had a few years ago (and if she didn't, please forgive me). That would be something to share.

I have to respond to the comments about Mr. Owen and Mr. Murphy. I thought I was the only one who found it scary that they were now in Desoto County. It's good to know that I'm not alone. I, too, graduated from Bellevue and Central and while I am several years younger, I am old enough to appreciate the remarks about them and the teachers (because I had them, too)! Good luck with the reunion!

I can't believe 20 years has rolled around already. I missed the 10 year reunion. I hope to make the 20 yr this weekend. So sorry to hear about those who passed away. Does anyone know what happened to Thalia Kapos? Steve Yager, congrats on the new baby. Have you talked or heard from Edward Higginbotham lately? Michelle Washburn Doris and I still keep in touch. She has 2 handsome young boys. Is there anyone from the orchestra group out there? If so it would be nice to hear from you.

A good number of people have indicated that they are paying when they get here, because of not knowing if they'll be able to attend the entire weekend or just one/two events. It doesn't look like a lot right now, but I have heard from a good many people, so I'm hoping the turnout will be pretty good. Hey, we're going to rock, regardless. :)laurie

I need help w/ information on some of our deceased classmates for the memorial table. All I have is what I know by word of mouth. I have 7 people: Thalia Kapos, Jeff Barber, Chi H Steven Chan, Percy Hollins, Dwight Simmons, Cheryl D. Truitt Range and Kate Wimmer. If you can give me a year when they passed away, that would help. If you can help, please e-mail me. Thanks.

Hey, folks. Looks like I'm not going to make it for the reunion, after all, but I have enjoyed reading all the comments. Thank you, Frank, for passing them on. I'm glad to see that I am not the only one in this neck of the woods. Kateh, Laura, we are an easy train ride from midtown Manhattan. We lived on the upper west side until our oldest ran out of crawling space--figured we better move if we wanted him to learn to walk! Madison is a great small town, and our house looks a lot like my old one in Central Gardens. After finishing college at "Memphis State," I worked in MD, outside DC, for--what else?--a magazine publisher. In 1990, Chris and I moved to NYC where I freelanced in graphic design until I landed a staff position at a great corporate i.d. (logos, etc.) design firm. I went back to freelancing (more publishing) when we moved to NJ. Finally, it seemed kind of crazy to pay our nanny from the city to raise our son while we commuted back into the city, so I quit. My job now is the hardest I've ever had, but raising our 3 beautiful children has the best rewards. Nicholas, Hallie Mae, and Noah will be 6, 4, and 2 by the 20th. Sorry we won't get to show them off. I hope you have a great reunion. Thank you, committee folks, for all your work. Please keep me posted on the memorial plans for Kate and the others. I was so very sorry to hear the news of their deaths. Now that we are finally connected, I'll keep an eye on the guestbook for more information, and, later, for some crazy reunion stories--have fun!

In case any of you were wondering, if any of you can't attend the entire weekend, the cost will be broken down for you. This should make it easier for whoever can just attend one or two events. For those who would like to come, but are having a hard time finding the funds, contact me. This will be strictly confidential, okay? Also, I'm going to be listing people who have yet to be contacted. Please let me know who you can find from this list and contact them for me, okay?!?!?! thanks, ya'll!! Laurie

I looked up 'Dalton Nickleberry' in the phone book the other day. Turned out it was his dad I was inviting to the reunion!! He took my name and number to give to Mr. Nick. I felt like a high school kid again--a little embarrassed. There has to be another way of getting in touch w/ some of our favorite teachers. I would love to invite Coach Adams and Mr. Nick, esp. for Friday night.

Okay, so seeing as I had nothing else to do this morning, I looked at DeSoto County School's website. *It* says that Mr. Owen is the principal there (and Coach Murphy is an AP). Any of you who didn't go to Bellevue wouldn't have an appreciation of just how scary that is. Imagine us, having escaped Mr. Owen for the welcoming smile of Mrs. Leffler, only to have Mr. Owen follow us there!!!

Alright people, this is going to be FUN. Now get serious about it. (hehe)!!!!! The Distraxshuns are a very awesome R&B Memphis Sound band playing at 10 at the High Point Pinch party on Friday nite (otherwise known as the get reaquainted party) We are going to get more than reaquainted, we are going to PARTEE.

If you are remotely planning on attending the reunion, please call or write to J-2 Class Reunions to get on the list. If you are planning to pay at the door, you still need to contact J2, e-mail them via their website, give your address and phone numbers for the directory they are putting together. They are going by the forms returned by mail or via the website. I'm sure they'll take it by phone if you want to call. Even if you can't come, fill in the information for the directory. Thanks.

Too Tall, I have been developing a strict new work-out regimen consisting of short wind sprints from the couch to the fridge 4 times nightly. As a reward for making it all the way without stopping I have an ice cream sandwich and then sprint back to the couch before the commercials are over. This helps develop the fast-twitch muscles that sprinters are known for. I am also working on developing a variety of substitute rewards.

Hello Kim, I am glad you remember me...I will send you a message at your address soon. Stovall, are you really a Principal in Cordova? Laura, thanks for the invite to sing, by the way I sang professionally for many years in NYC and continue to do some things here in DC although musically DC is far more limited than NY. Here comes my boss.... Got to run for now but will check in again soon. Hey, former GENTS..please let me know where your brother Tom Motley is located.

Hey everyone, Have all good intentions of being there for some of the reunion extravaganza. I must say it freaks me out a little. I mean, 20 years? Dear God. I just finished grad school (MFA in creative writing--the least marketable degree in higher education) and moved back to the NYC area (Hoboken's right across the Hudson). Am living with my boyfriend and my 17-year-old dog and am about as happy as I can be. Only more freelance work would make me happier, but all in good time. Looking forward to catching up with everyone in September (oh, Jerome Burt, my date from the 10th reunion, is planning on coming, in case you haven't heard from him--I'll get a deposit in soon, promise.). Take care all.

Power to the Memphis Central Warriors' Class of 1982 from Monique Sugarmon. I'm livin' a little shy of medium these days, but very far from livin' large. Hangin' in there in this concrete/corporate jungle in Washington, DC. I WOULD be in the Nation's Capital at THIS time when the country is on High Alert and there's chaos and disorder everywhere! I'm doing lots of Transcendental Meditation baby, thanks to the teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (who kicked it with the Beatles in the 1960's. Check out www.mum dot edu.) Anyway I'm totally caught up in the rat race, but all about my spiritual development/evolvement at this present moment in time. My constant thought is to be in the world yet not of the world. Check out any of the books by Paramahansa Yogananda of India. He totally changed my life. Also any of the 12 books of the St. Germain Foundation are a mind blowing experience. Gonna learn Kriya Yoga soon. Check out www.babaji.ca. Was married. Not impressed; think marriage is overrated. Jesus Christ is and will always be my one and only true love. What can I say. Check out the book: Conversations With God - Book 3 for an interesting discussion of marriage. As far as my personal life is concerned, I'm with the underground and basically kickin' it with the counter culture as a total beatnik. I wish you peace in yo' 'hood and may God Bless Jesus, Allah, Budah, Krishna, all the Saints, Sages and those yet to be, and most especially...You!! Peace Out! : o)

Just a reminder. Send your registration money in by August 2nd or it is $10.00 extra. At least get a deposit in by that date. We will be planning another meeting, one more before the party, to talk about our 'agenda' that evening. We will have a DJ the night of the dance. Anybody who would like to volunteer to say something special about our deceased classmates, please let us know. We would like to do something as a small memorial to them that night. Just write directly to someone on the committee list. The more volunteers the better! Also, if you have something you want to share w/ us as a group, (ie singing, stripping, showing off muscles, massages......) we could add that in too! Laurie is off line at the moment so I am writing on her behalf. She plans on doing a stand-up comedy act (just kidding). Spread the word and send in $$$$. Bye for now!

Hello Central Warriors! Can't believe it has been twenty years. Currently, I live in Cordova and work for Shelby County Schools. I have worked for the system for 12 years serving as regular classroom teacher, APEX teacher(same thing as Clue in the City Schools-Gifted and Talented Program), and currentl an APEX consultant to the high schools(Germantown, Bolton, Millington, and Houston). Never thought I would end up in the education profession but I do enjoy it. It is great being able to work with the Gifted and Talented Poplulation and help them plan out their high school years in IEP meetings. Graduated from the U of M with a Business Degree and then got a masters degree in Education. Still going to school taking courses to learn how to teach English as a Second Language. I guesss I will never stop going to school! It is great to read all of the comments on the site. I hope to see everyone at the reunion. Perge! Interesting comment- I too ran into Mr. White about a year ago in Dillard's. Do you know the man remembered me and stopped to talk. He really is a nice guy! I think he told me he is the Principal at the Alternative School in the city(the old Tech High). Stovall- You are the Assistant Principal at Cordova High right?

I saw Mr. White at an Italian car show last weekend. He was so friendly and nice! I guess I never paid much attention , I always thought of him as 'the enemy' b/c he was Assistant Principal. He introduced me to his three children, who are teenagers now, one just graduated from Central. He acted like he remembered me ( mainly by association w/ my bad, big sister , Raquel, who was always getting into trouble, especially w/ Mrs. Leffler!) I told him about our reunion. Do the teachers get invitations? Anyway, I'm glad I stopped and introduced myself.

We received the Reunion Newsletter/Invitation. As the hour is late, Tracy is fast asleep. But I (her husband, Tom Word - Class '81) was checking out the website. Tracy Tims (Word) married her high-school sweetheart, and we have been married for 17 years. We actually started "going together" the summer of her 9th grade in 1979 (23 years ago!). We have 3 boys: Gates (8 )– goes to SNOWDEN – with Missy Brown’s offspring), Grayson (4) and Parker (2). We live in Mid-Town and have plans to be at the reunion. Seeing the names in the guestbook bring back a lot of the "hershey bar details" - (Miss Eddington) -of high school. It’s good to see the names of some of those “Bobcats”, before they were “Warriors” – Floyd Holiday, Marvin Davis, Jay-Jai Boyd, and Cedric Brown, among others.

hi everyone. I just got my invitation today and hope to attend in sept. I live in a little town in northern ill. that looks like mayberry. I came up here, ready for this, to go to bible college. I met my wife of almost eleven years, joan, there and we have a 4 year old daughter. I work as a carpenter for a custom remodeler building 500,00 dollar additions on one and two million dollar homes. Laurie, one of my strongest memories of chs is mr. duncans german class where you took some of us to the back of the room and knocked us out with some kind of vulcan death grip. i've lost most of my hair now and cringe when i look at my annual but am looking forward to seeing some of you again in sept.

Hi everyone. Does anyone know where Terrie Hodgins (sp) is? She had a big sister named Haley. Please let me know if you do. I have spoken with Aaron Patterson and he has assured me he will add his comments to the guestbook (hey, that was 4 months ago, Aaron!!)and that he will attend the reunion. Laurie Holder

Hey, everyone, just visiting and had to say...Andrea who??? Uh, duh, woman, you were only one of my best friends. And a second on that voice of yours, no doubt put to good use out there in D.C. BTW, Tom Tom spoke way earlier but hasn't commented since. Just outside three months now...

Wow! It's been a blast reading comments and thinking back to '82. I'm also thinking about what a doofus I was way back then, and unfortunately still am. I live here in Memphis and my husband Stephen (also a doofus) and I have two kids, a 13 year old boy and a 13 month old girl. They are most definitely NOT doofuses (or is it doofi? Mrs. Nesbitt would know the answer). My husband is a tennis pro who runs the public tennis facilities here in Memphis, and we've worked together in that business for about the past ten years. I do leagues, tournaments and events mostly, and work part-time. I can't wait to party "old school" with yall!

Nope, I didn't make the 10 yr invite list either. But that's OK. Anyway, Stacy's little sister is Leigh. I have talked to Stacy and she is planning on attending the reunion. She is a full time mom with three kids living in New Jersey. She doesn't have email, and she is still the sweetest girl I ever met.

Well, I'm glad I wasn't the only one left off the invitation list of our 10 year reunion! I found out we had one from Stacy Powell's younger sister (she worked w/ me). It hurt my feelings --a little :( Anybody know how to reach Stacy? I can't remember her sister's name at the moment. We need to all work on finding all our classmates, the reunion will be coming up sooner that we expect. It is going to be great and I am looking forward to a big turn out, but we all have to really help w/ finding our classmates. I will try to remember Stacey's sisters name and give her a call. Hope all is well w/ everybody.

What's up class of '82. I just want to say GOD bless each and every Warrior out there. If it is GOD's will, I not miss the reunion. I work with Ben Hendrich's sister, and I will try to get in contact with him and Don Ruben. Myself and Robert Walker still stay in contact with each other. By the way, Jeff Barber died this past Thanksgiving Day from a stroke. Once again, GOD bless and take care.

The flood of memories is almost too much to stand. Since I did get invited to this reunion (thanks Jay Boyd for forgetting me for the 10 year) I'm going to try to attend. I'm married with 2 girls (2 year old and 2 month old - yes, I got a late start) I'm moving to DC area in about 6 weeks, so it will be a little harder to get back to Memphis. Will this reunion be worth the trip???

Hello again Class of '82. I thought I would just drop a quick note let you guys know how great it is to read these entries and remember, or at least try to remember you guys. Time sure does fly....I can't believe or should I say I don't want to believe its been twenty (20) years. WOW. Just recently, this Easter to be exact, my husband and I had a rather large dinner for family and friends and I finally got to see my sisters Airienne and LaTisha. It was GREAT. Although I do get to Memphis every year or so I am seriously contemplating attending this reunion if for no other reason than to see some of faces and friends from the past. For those of you who still reside in Memphis I may be there for the big fight as my husband is a huge fight fan and is working like a madman to get tickets. I'm not quite as enthusiastic but it may be a good reason to play a few slots.....Enough for now, I hope everyone is well and as blessed as I am. My home e-mail is attached so drop a line if you remember me. Take care everyone. Andrea Harvey-Cole in Bowie, MD (suburb of Wash.DC)

Hey Warriors, First & foremost I would like to apologize for any vagueness that may have been presented in my previous message, in giving remembrance to some of our most cherished and honored Warriors. Ms. Andrea Pryor (Ross) was the dear soul we lost just recently. Although Andrea was a member of the Class of 81’ she is still a very special part of the Class of 82’ as well, and we miss you dearly Ms. A. One other tidbit of information, taking into consideration how we were the partygoers and trendsetters, what a great class! In addition to bringing “The Time” & “Vanity 6” CD’s, this other piece of vinyl is a MUST especially since it was released in 1982. Michael Jackson released Thriller in 1982, which sold more than 25 million copies, becoming the biggest-selling album in music history. Ya heard!!! Terry Randolph trgoup at attbi dot com

Hey, all! I've enjoyed reading what everyone's been up to over the years. I taught kindergarten in Memphis City Schools for 13 years and, after a 2 year hiatus, am (hopefully) returning this fall. I'm married with 2 girls who I enjoy a lot more than I remember my mom enjoying me. Oh, wait, she did enjoy me there for a couple weeks right before I went to college. Anyway, I'm not much the same at all except I'm still funny as hell.

READING ALL THESE COMMENTS LET'S ME KNOW THE CLASS OF 82 IS STILL CRAZY AND ALL ABOUT HAVING A GOOD TIME. STOVALL, I LOVE THE SCHOLARSHIP IDEA; SO LET'S DEFINITELY MOVE ON THAT. I'M SURE CHERYL'S FOUR KIDS WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THAT THEIR MOTHER LIVES ON THROUGH THAT. TISH AND ARIENNE, MAKE SURE YOU BRING YOUR CHEERLEADING UNIFORMS, I STILL HAVE MINE. WHERE'S MONIQUE?

Besides, I was recently ran over by a tractor trailer and I am under going reconstructive surgery and the doc said absolutely no dancing for a year. (winks at Jeff, think they'll go for that?) I was going through my yearbook and it seems a lifetime ago,1982..... "If I knew then what I know now" comes to mind.

Hey Everybody, So great to see so many responses! Monica (Welsh) Rose and I will be hosting a "PREUNION" dance fever clinic. Right Monica? Ha Ha. Date and place to be determined. Moves TBD. Maybe we can revive the Rock, Snake, Worm, Spanky, Freak, Punk, Charlie Brown, Hustle (ok ok too old), Jerk, Boot Scoot, Tush push, Flying Eight, Macarena, Stomp, and any other ancient (or not so ancient) groove thangs.

Michael, I was practicing my dance moves over the weekend and your title is in jeopardy. I think I have what it takes to win back the non-dancing poster child trophy. I will also take the most likely to never have any rhythm award at the reunion.

It is so funny to read comments and see names of years gone by. Is my mind fading or did I actually know these people? I remember some of the names but can't remember all of the faces.

The price of the reunion has not been determined yet, but we will post price and where to send it on the web page asap. We are thinking about $65/person. We do not plan on going over that, because we want to make it fun, but affordable for everyone. I'm not sure how kids will be figured, but somehow I'm thinking the charge will just be for adults and kids will be included. I will find out and let you know. I'm curious, myself! So, who are you, Joe Alum??? Please, reveal yourself :)

Hey, Tish, I'm ready to shake my thang when you are! Had to do a little digging, too: Google and the UA-Birmingham website says that Jerome Burt is at UAB, but has no listed e-mail or address. And there are at least a few people out there reading this and not contributing. You and I know who you are ;~) Re: Scholarship Fund: needs a list of Angel Warriors. I know there are more and I'm sure many of us are not up-to-date on the passings of our classmates.

Chile, you haven't changed since we got in trouble in Ms. Neal's class in third grade. I'm soooo glad Principal Stovall-Miller is representing and keeping the Memphis City School system in tact. I see that Thomas(HU!) Motley is still dignified. Where's Jon-Jon? Or is it one Jon these days. Hello, Downtown Brown. I saw Mavin O. Davis in Black Enterprise Feb Issue - he looked well. I remember Monica Welsh at that Party at the Rivermont, too. She was breaking the "The Rock" all the way down to the floor. As I recall Kim Randall use to like to shake her groove thang, too. Jeff, on the other hand, use to just stand around bopping his head watching groove thangs!! By the way has anyone seen or heard from Paula & Robert, Laura Schoals, Ms.A, Ms. Hoskins(the Librarian for those that didn't read), Mr. Nickleberry, Jerome Burt, Sweet, Harvey, Thurman, Jamita, Alfred, Sammie Collins and Jesse I can't remember the last name?...

Oh, by the way, I'm teaching facility management (auditorium)!!!!! Now that I've gotten that at ###*!!! out of the way.

HELLO EVERYBODY, It is so good to finally find a way to get/keep in touch with so many friends that I have longed to find for so long. I joined the USAF in 86 and moved to mississippi. was there for 6 &1/2 years. Then i joined the air national guard and moved up here. been here since 1992. I am currently in my second marrage. this one has lasted 16 years. i was married the first time for 1 year. I have no children from either marrage. I hope to find a way to be at the reunion. I still look pretty much like i did in school.just a few pounds heavier.

I'm a hydrologist, doing studies of rivers and watersheds all over the country. Never been married, despite a few close calls, but I've got a fish on the hook I'm trying to reel in :) I'm still a beanpole, and probably always will be. My folks are still in Memphis, and I get back now and then, and I hope I can make it for the reunion. Hi to Steve and David and Gerald and Kim and Laurie and all.

I hope The Gents and LDJ's will be there - they knew how to par-tee. I went to one of their parties once at the Rivermont, talk about fun. Kim and Laurie want us to DANCE?!!? After 3 kids (12,9&4), my moves are inspired by the Barney Song, Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys. I may have to get Leslie over here to practice with me. Leslie, I'll have the zifandel ready, you bring the music. Been married 13 years, live in town. I am a Human Resources Benefits Consultant at Smith & Nephew Orthopaedics.

Mine is still really red, and I'm still really short. What do your students think of Ms. Too Tall Stovall, anyway, Lisa?

Since the redheaded hip chick is asking.....I've been in Memphis since college grad. I'm a project manager for a local architectural/engineering firm, been married 10 years and have two sons ages six and three. I didn't have grey hair one until the kids came along. The youngest is a redhead, and he is truly making me old quick. Fiery, attitude, temper. Kinda like Kim at yearbook meetings.

My apologies to Stacy Powell, who was editor of the 1982 Warrior yearbook. Kate was the outstanding business manager. I knew the editor was outstanding, too. Hey, it's only been twenty years.

I am working in Berkeley and that's all I can say due to a court order. Anyway, I will be at the reunion, just to confess undying love to some of the hotties from the class of '82. If it wasn't for David Bruhwiler, who is the king of everything, I wouldn't know that we were having a reunion. I hope to recognize someone when I get there. Yet, I do remember Mrs. Long's class and the Cantebury Tales, go figure? Thanks for organzing this Laurie. Laurie, thanks for organizing.

I am living in the Southern California-Los Angeles area, and readily anticipating being able to see everyone again...God willing wishing everyone the Best Reunion Ever! Especially since I missed the first. Kisses to all of those “Warriors” who are smiling from above…love you and miss you much; Andrea, Cheryl “Do it Truitt”, and Kate, we know you make heaven an even sweeter place. Hey!

Hi, y'all!!! Thanks, Jai, but I figured it out. My sister grabbed the paper last night while we were on the phone and found the phone number, so here I am. Of course, I have to write this after seeing the note about Kate, which has me near tears here. What a terrific, together person she was, not to mention a great yearbook editor...and friend. I'm still in the Cincinnati area, only voluntarily unemployed and getting close to finishing required hours to sit for exams to become a licensed massage therapist. Married 14 years in March, daughter, 10, son, 5. No red hair! Also a soccer mom, but I play, too--12 years now. So happy you chose September--I don't really miss Memphis in July!

Greetings. I am living outside of Boston with my wonderful, handsome (he's watching me write this) husband and two girls, five and three. They are all delightful. We live in a fairly rural area with lots of woods and wildlife. We enjoy hiking and skiing and visiting Cape Cod. My most recent job was as a manager in product development at Duracell. They moved my job to CT and I decided for an early retirment almost three years ago. I have degrees in mechanical and materials engineering and hope to teach college engineering when the girls are in school fulltime. I can't believe its been twenty years since high school. Seems like if Michael Jackson can make a comeback, then we can too. Will we be able to do pompon routines at the reunion? FYI, Paul Garrison was the only brave soul to attempt Beowulf in Old English in AP English with "Mrsssss. AAAAAdington".

Hello Everyone - Not sure if many of you remember me but the one regret I had in my life was having to move away before graduation with you guys. I live in the Jackson, MS area and work for the State as a web developer. I have a wonderful 12 yr old son and been divorced for about 6 years now. I hope you do not mind but I would like to try and make the reunion to see some of you again. Went to college at Millsaps here in Jackson and have been here ever since. Let me hear from you. Talk soon.

Do any of you remember the quote, "None Better, Few as Good"? Most of you heard it!! But your minds may not be as sharp as mine. Do you remember the opening lines to the Canterbury Tales? Boy those were the good ole' days. As you should recall, I was the youngest graduate in our class. I was 10yrs old, when I graduated from Central(I was merely tall for my age). Sooooo, I really look forward to seeing all of you older folks. I'm now married(Cheldon) with two kids, Shawntel(10) and Cole(3) they are pretty cool kids, if I must say so myself. I'm an overworked and exhausted Systems Engineer residing in Washington, DC. I'm stuck commuting most days in locked down traffic dreaming about Southern Living - the mini-mansions of Collierville, Cordova and Germantown. I was thinking that it would be great if the band reunited and gave us a number or two, if the majorettes gave us a little diddy and the cheerleaders built a nice pyramid. The Football team & the AAA Championship Basketball team could give us a quick little exhibition. We could time Jeff Jacobs running the 440. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about all the possibilities. Take Care!!!

I worked for a major real estate developer for the first 4 years and then I decided to go into education. I teach high school physics and biology in a surburban high school. I am married to a former pro football player, Alvin, and I have 3 kids; Scott (12), Ariel (5), and Lauryn (2). I am a true soccer mom now. All of them have heard much about my days at Central and I can't wait to see all of you. Keep me informed.

Jennifer will be there also and present us with what she has found as far as prices, places, etc. I think Zinnie's East would be a good place to meet again, but, if you have any other suggestions, please let me know. If we have to have another meeting to get everything decided upon we will, but my goal is to try and get everything voted on so that Jennifer and Julie can get going on everything.

WHHHAAASSSUUUPPP! (We actually invented that -- with the help of '81 graduate Jill Zlotky. Those budweiser people stole it from us.) So, how is the world treating you? Or more importantly, how are you treating the world? Let us all know by keeping in touch, visiting this site and coming to the events for 2002, where we can all be old together (but feel young). I've hung around this area for years, can't seem to get Memphis out of my blood, maybe 'cause my family's mostly here. They actually pay me to draw stuff and think of unwitty puns at my work. So that's what I've been doing for 20 years!

I have been living in Cordova for the past six years but midtown is still "home". My sister, Raquel Duck (CHS '80) organized her 10 year reunion (a very big job) and then they (Class of 80) had their 20th reunion last year. Lots of fun was shared by all. I hope we can get together soon and be re-aquainted. Good-bye for now!

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again. Twenty years went by awfully fast. Most of you could probably outrun me now. I'm old and worn out and what I do have left my 3 children take out of me. I have a 6 year old girl named Meagan, a 5 year old boy named Austin, and a 6 month old boy named Braden. I have worked for the Shelby County Clerk's office for 14 years as a tax collector, don't cuss me too badly. That just about catches you up on my exciting 20 years since graduation. Again, I look forward to seeing everyone I guess sometime next Spring.
