City: Newport News
State/Prov.: VA Marital Status: Married No. of Children: 2 Graduation Year: 1978 Number of grandchildren: 4 What is your best memory from Kecoughtan?: Hanging out with my friends, both in class and after school. The night my Dad got pulled over for having too many of us in the back of his pick-up truck while he was taking us to a football game! (maybe we were a bit rowdy and may have been standing up too, but you've got to show that KHS spirit) What have you been doing the last few decades?: I have been a Mom to 2 great kids who are now grown with kids of their own. My son is 29 with a son and daughter, and my daughter is 22 with 2 sons. They are both married and live here as well, so I am a lucky Grandma that gets to spend lots of time with her grandkids. I am happily married as well. It took me a few years to find my soulmate, but now that I have, life is good. Since being a Mom and a wife always came first for me, I haven't had a career, though I have worked at various jobs. From Carrie: I wasn't able to make it to the last reunion, but heard it was a blast. I am local, so would like to attend this one to hopefully see some old friends and maybe make some new ones. |
