I have worked for four Georgia governors. I enjoy volunteering and had the opportunity to serve through the Atlanta Track Club at the 1996 Olympics and many subsequent events. |

| Comment: Thank you, Rick and Bonnie—and all the others who are volunteering their efforts—for all the work you’ve put into bringing about this 50th reunion. It is a pleasure to read the short bios that many have posted. I’m feeling as excited and anxious as a teenager anticipating a high school dance. My wife of 15 years is Dr. Cindy Bollman, a psychologist in private practice in northern Virginia where we live. By a previous marriage I have two children. My daughter, Amanda is 27 and works for Trader Joe’s. I have two grandsons born to my son Ben who is 31 and his wife Amy, both engineers employed in northern Virginia. Huxley is 2 and Archer is 6 months old. I retired from the Army having served 34 years active duty and 10 years in the reserves. I began my career as a paratrooper, a combat medic in Viet Nam, where I was twice decorated. I retired as a physician and colonel with tours in Korea, Kuwait, Honduras, Iraq and Afghanistan. When I was 60, I completed a fellowship in geriatric medicine at GW, in D.C. and now I’m a geriatrician practicing with Inova Health Systems, in Fairfax county, VA. Last week Cindy and I hosted Ben and Amanda’s mother and her husband for a 4th of July cook-out. We are friends who have shared a great deal. Such events as a BBQ among adults who have co-parented successfully and among classmates attending their 50th high school reunion, are wonderful gifts to have lived to experience. I was saddened to read the list of those who had passed. | |

Better late than never, tried to place entry before --but it went into cyberspace. And this is difficult to write about because my dear husband of 32 years has been getting chemotherapy (every 3 weeks) for recent diagnosis of metastatic lung cancer--so we have been living with a strange cloud hanging over head--but with a lot to be grateful for too. I am back at work as an RN at Emory Crawford Long--downtown Atl--after a long stent as a stay at home "PTA" mom. My husband, Mike, (met in college)--has been working as a project manager for a remodeling company owned by one of our best friends--he had been staying quite busy (until recently) remodeling some of the fine intown Atlanta homes. Our son is at a small school in North Carolina of his choosing planning to be a college professor some day--we are very proud of him--as he earned 75% scholarship there. My family-- brother, sister and 87 year old Mother are all still here in the Atlanta area --so I see them all very often. Looking forward to seeing each of you. |

With only one week left until the Reunion I guess it's time to get up my nerve and say Hi! I have been married for 37 years to Dave, who I met my first month at college. We have a son and daughter who are both married and have provided us with a wonderful son and daughter-in-law. We spent 18 years in New Jersey and loved it but are very glad to be back in Atlanta now reconnecting with old friends. I have enjoyed all the postings and can't wait to see everyone next weekend! The Reunion Committee has done an awesome job of putting this together - and the website is the Best! |

| Comment: Dennis and I are happily retired, living in Charlotte, NC. My daughters are both married and each has a baby boy. I stay busy with tennis, choir, hand bells, & church work. Two years ago, my parents sold the house they built in 1961 & moved to Clarkesville, GA where 2 of my sisters live. It feels very strange to no longer have relatives in Atlanta! I look forward to seeing all of you. The tour of BHS should bring back a host of memories. | |

| Comment: I retired about 18 months ago, but after 7 months my wife decided we were getting to know one another too well. So I work a few days a week and play golf the others. I can't wait to see everyone, and I often reflect on how lucky we all are to have grown up when and where we did. What a great group of people! Thanks SO much to the committee for putting this together. Let me know if I can help. | |
