Favorite School Memory | I am proud to be the first white student to graduate from Wm. Raines. This was the first year of forced bussing and isnce I had just moved to Jax, and wasn't allowed to go to the school my senior class neighbors did. |

I married my soul mate in 1973, moved to Callahan and we had 2 beautiful daughters, then my husband was killed in a job related accident 2 months after our 10th anniversary. I remarried two years later and that ended in divorce 7 years later. I remarried for the last time in 1994 and we were told 7 years ago that he only had 6 weeks to live and was placed on hospice. Since that time he has been on hospice 3 times and is currently off hospice and although still very sick he is still alive, and I do take credit for the half of that that God didn't do.

I am currently an assistant manager at the Lem Turner Wendy'...(read more) |
