Tell us about your children and grandchildren.

My son died in infancy. My two daughters are grown and both married. One is a school teacher and the other a stay home mom to 3 preschool kids. The grand kids are Caleb 5, Bear 3, and Mary Clare 9 months.

What was your first paying job after high school?

I worked for the YMCA while in college coaching and also working summer camp.

What occupations have you held over the years? What occupation are you in now (or before you retired)?

I became a Christian as a college freshman. As a sophomore I started working with the youth group at church and soon I was in charge of the youth. When I graduated from FTU I became a full time youth minister. This is the only real job I have ever had. I am still employed as a Youth Pastor today. I have written several youth books and spoken at many youth events, retreats, conferences, etc. I did make some money for speaking and writing, But, Youth Ministry is all I have ever really done.

Are you still working?

Still working

What are some of your hobbies, interests, talents and activities that you enjoy doing?

Running, golf, snow skiing, writing and coaching. I m currently coaching a high school boys soccer team and writing a regular column on parenting for the local newspaper.

What plans do you have for the next decade of your life?

Well I have no plans to retire and I'd like to just keep being a youth pastor. Youth these days have a hard time and I think I can help them. But, for me, it is kinda a God thing as to what I do or don't do next. But retiring is not currently on my radar.

Charleston, SC, Macon, GA, Atlanta, GA, New Albany, IN, Louisville, KY, College Park, GA, Tifton, GA, Chatsworth, GA, and Fanning Springs, FL in that order.

Where have you traveled? Which place did you enjoy most and why?

I've traveled all over the world ( I lost count at 30 countries) mainly with my youth group kids doing missions on every continent except Australia. But it is has not always been easy. In mainland China, I preached in a church and was then questioned for two hours by a communist official (no I'm not in the CIA.) In Mozambique, myself and 3 youth, were jailed and upon release kicked out of the country and banned for life (oh well.) In Lebanon, myself and a student were kidnapped off the street in Beirut, while handing out Bibles, by Islamic terrorist. They were going to kill us (I am serious), but much later we did manage to escape before they were successful. I had promised that kid's mom I would bring him back alive, so we had to escape.

What are some of your favorite books and movies? And why are they your favorites?

Remember the Titans - You think it is about football, but it is about so much more.

"The same thing wins that always won. We just have a bunch of different excuses when we lose." Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. This applies to so much of life.

Do you plan to attend the 50th Reunion, Nov. 18-20, 2021?

Yes, I plan to purchase ticket(s) soon for the Friday night Main Event

Any other info you'd like to share?

I've been married to the same woman for 42 years and that is without a doubt the only thing worth bragging about.

As we get older just remember who unique you a. You have drank out of garden hoses, ridden your bike without a helmet, climbed trees and played in dirt.

You hav lived in 70 decades, two millennia and have seen the first people in space and to set foot on the moon and soon to be planet. You've seen the birth of cell phones, the internet and great advances in medical science. We even remember black and white television.. A pretty remarkable life I'd say.

One Truth... many realities

That is from me.

What are some of your favorite memories from WPHS?

My favorite teacher was Col. Dillon, what an incredible person, perhaps it had to do with the fact that Physics was far and above my favorite subject my senior year. I was disappointed to learn that the following year they offered an electronics class for which I was truly ticked.

India Dick in study hall and her amazing Zodiac knowledge,

Linda and Sandy Simandl two sweet sisters...Uhh just friends, The time Linda asked me to pretend to take her out on a date so she could secretly meet up with her boyfriend who her dad didn't approve of... I was happy to do it.

Lori Brunkhorst my first real girlfriend and the time she convinced me to go skinny dipping by the dock one night at Kraft Azalea Gardens... That's all I'm saying,

Anne Kellam and our ride by Kraft Azalea Gardens one night... I had a PA on my CB radio and as we drove by with all the cars parked I blurted out "This is the Winter Park Police department and we are fed up with the illicit activities going on in this area and are giving everyone 5 minutes to clear the area". By the time we drove around Alabama Dr. and came back half the cars were gone. It was also memorable to have know her two sisters Elizabeth and Frances... Again all three just good friends.

Suzanne Hickman, my senior prom date and first attempt at a serious relationship, I think I failed miserably. A brilliant and dedicated human being she was heavy on my mind for many... many years. If for some reason you read this some where Suzanne, hopefully you can forgive me for our last email conversation, since you told me not to contact you again.

Tell us about your children and grandchildren.

We have two daughters, Devon and Erin. Devon stayed local to the area and is an account manager for corporate insurance. She is a true mama to her brood of 4, two boys ages 16 and 12 and 2 girls ages 9 and 4. Our youngest, Erin, after traveling through Southeast Asia and Australia, ended up marrying an Aussie and settled in Perth. They have 2 sons, Nolan and Corbin and they all are the only reason we will take a 20 hour plane flight anywhere!

What was your first paying job after high school?

I worked for my classmate Anna Ondick's dad at the business he owned, Hi-Flavor Meats in Winter Springs. He was so sweet...he just wanted to give me some working experience. Additionally, I signed up to be a Kelly Girl and my first assignment was at T.G. Lee Dairy!

What occupations have you held over the years? What occupation are you in now (or before you retired)?

While going to SCC, I worked at Winter Park Telephone Company part-time. Subsequently, I was hired full time in 1974 and stayed in Customer Service fulfilling many positions, until I left in 1998 after 24 years. I was getting a full package with pay for a year, but ended up relaxing a total of 2 months before I started working for a Manufacturing rep firm, PRO-CO Inc. in Longwood, where I am still working after 23 years. There is an event gallery next to our firm, and in 2015, simply after volunteering to help out, I began doing tours, and working with clients to set up events. I am still working there as well, in between my full time job at PRO-CO. I guess I like to keep busy!

Are you still working?

Still working

What are some of your hobbies, interests, talents and activities that you enjoy doing?

I love Zumba, which I currently do 4 days a week, and have taken line dancing as well. I really got into the Adult Coloring book hobby, and have collected a mad assortment of every type of colored writing utensil I can get my hands on. I also do scrapbooking, though that will be something I get more into when I finally slow down with my 2 jobs. I can always be drawn outside to do yard work..I love the feeling of everything looking very manicured. Lastly...any and everything BTS...go ARMY!

What plans do you have for the next decade of your life?

I really do hope to slow down a bit...both my jobs keep me busy on a full time schedule but I want to more personal downtime.

In what places have you lived in your life?

I lived most of my youth in Winter Park. When I got married I moved all the way out to the Goldenrod area off Aloma. From there we moved to Seminole County, outside the city limits of Longwood...to which we still call home.

Where have you traveled? Which place did you enjoy most and why?

We love the mountains and waterfall chasing, so North Carolina and Georgia. San Francisco was a favorite city but anything that gets you away from the humdrum is good...Southern California, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Canada (Niagara Falls) and of course our own Florida beaches. Since our daughter and her family live in Perth Western Australia, we have visited there over the years. We've even done little getaways to Denmark and Albany in Western Australia, which have some truly remarkable scenery. The flight over is long, but worth it in the end!!

What are some of your favorite books and movies? And why are they your favorites?

I love Nora Roberts, and have always enjoyed good old Victorian romance novels! I will watch any of the Lord of the Rings movies over and over again, and I loved Fried Green Tomatoes...Towanda!

Live your Life....BTS

"Those who want to look more youthful should live life with a young heart" Kim Seok-jin.

Daughter, Sarah, age 35; Granddaughter, Blake, age 7. Very proud of both of them. Sarah is a great mom, and Blake a funny, smart, athletic kid!

What was your first paying job after high school?

After many recreation type jobs, I worked in my Dad's general construction office as a sort of secretary-Girl Friday person for about two years, and then decided to go to law school.

What occupations have you held over the years? What occupation are you in now (or before you retired)?

I've been a lawyer in my own private practed for over 40 years. Started out as a law clerk in two different firms while I was in school, but it was pretty hard to get hired as a woman lawyer in a small town in 1977, so I went in half-half with another woman lawyer. She owned an IBM Selectric typewriter, and I had a hand-me-down typing table with wheels. We shared space and rolled the typewriter between our two offices. Since then I built up my firm to at one time employing two associate attorneys, two paralegals, a legal assistant, and a bookkeeper. I've now downsized to just me and one paralegal. No present retirement intentions - I still really enjoy my work.

Are you still working?

Still working

What are some of your hobbies, interests, talents and activities that you enjoy doing?

For abourt the last 20 years, I've played tennis in organized leagues here in Gaineville. Teams I've been on have been to sectional tournaments many times, although never won the tournaments. Also go to the beach (St. Augustine) frequently, I've done some international traveling and am looking forward to doing more. Also, living in Gainesville, I'm a pretty enthusiastic Gator sports fan.

What plans do you have for the next decade of your life?

Not completely sure. Have downsized my law practice, looking to downsize my home. Probably some more travel, and definitely more time with my granddaughter!

In what places have you lived in your life?

Mostly Winter Park and Gainesville, FL.

Where have you traveled? Which place did you enjoy most and why?

Trip of a lifetime - three weeks photo safari in east Africa, camping in the Seregeti, visiting Maasai homes, staying in a camp in the Taragire Park with elephants walking through in the evening. Another great trip to Paragonia - hiking on glaciers, sailing through the Straits of Magellan, the Beagle Channel, hiking up Cape Horn. Also, several trips to Europe, including a great trip on a barge down a canal in the Bordeaux region in France with seven other friends for our 60th birthday year.

What are some of your favorite books and movies? And why are they your favorites?

I find myself reading more history and politics books, listening to podcasts with similar subjects. Haven't been to a movie theater in years, but love Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, etc. - what a surfeit of entertainment.

What is your favorite quote?

Paraphrasing: If one person says it's raining, and another says it's dry, it's not the journalist's job to quote them both, but instead to look out the f'g window and find out the truth.

What are some of your favorite memories from WPHS?

Pep rallies. Working backstage at school plays, Trips to New Smyrna Beach (the first away from Orlando trip I was allowed to drive after I got my license - my parents figured I had been so many times, I wouldn't get lost). AP English, American History, Shakespeare classes. Lots of friends!

I grew up going to Audubon and Glenridge. My father's involvement in the Space Industry, moved us to Huntsville, AL for my sophomore and junior year.

When I registered at WPHS, Mr Robertson (who was a member of our church and knew where we lived), he said I could go to WPHS ( using my Aunt's address on WP Road) but I would not be allowed to be involved in any extracurricular activities. Fine....I wanted to graduate with my friends i grew up with at WPHS.
