| About Me | I worked at Security Nat'l Bank in BC after HS, then a little while at Post, then over 17 years at General Aluminum in Charlotte. Since Nov. of 2001 I have been a library parapro at the Elementary. I love my job! Kids are fun and I work with a great staff. I married my (2nd) husband Buck in 1993 and we have a daughter Maddie, named after my mom Madelyn. I stopped working when she was 5 months old to be a stay at home mom. Then while I was working at Bellevue Felpausch (Maddie was 3 then), Nov.15th opening day of deer season, she was diagnosed as a type I diabetic. Maddie is now a sophomore here at BHS.

I am an aunt to 10 and (brag, brag, brag) one of my nephews, Brett, received a Rhodes Scholarship last year while at Princeton. He is at Oxford for 2 years. He is a great kid.

Maddie is going to Northern Michigan University this Fall to get her Bachelors in Photogr...(read more) |
