Ann French:  

I am the proud mother of four children. Three girls and one boy. I am also the grandmother of 5 grandchildren with another one on the way. I graduated High School and went on to Business College-Jamestown Business College where I earned an Associates Degree as an Administrative Executive Secretary. After graduation, I began working odd jobs and then took time off for the most important job of all---raising my children. I have recently gotten back into the job force . I am divorced and living life for me now. My children are all grown. I cherish sunrises and sunsets, and fresh open air, and I try to live my life one day at a time and I try not to sweat the small stuff. When I find a friend who's worth holding on to I try not to let it go. I could have gone on to bigger and better things but that would mean more stress and that is just not me. I have a job, I am putting back a little money, I am enjoying my children and grandchildren and just generally living life. I am happy and at peace. I would love to reconnect with some of the people I went to school with. I am so far away from the place of my youth. I moved from New York to Michigan for about 10 yrs and I am now in the beautiful state of Tennessee where I have been living for about 16 yrs.. I remember my first year at Harvey C. Fenner. It was 1st grade and I was the new kid in school and I was not well liked. We were playing kick ball and someone, I don't remember who, threw the ball really hard between my feet and I tripped and fell and went down. As everyone stood around watching, two boys came over to help me to my feet. I remember thanking them then and knowing that whatever happened from that point on, I was going to be okay. I would like to thank those two men again. Thank you Burke Walker and Kim Johnson. If you are out there, know that I never did forget your kindness. I made other friends as the years went on, some of you I never really made friends with, but when we graduated, I had learned to respect you and all that we as a group had accomplished. Thank you all for being my classmates. My first job was at The High School Office , where I got paid weekly to print copies of homework assignments, notices to go home, answer the phones, deliver messages, file papers, some light typing, etc. etc.. What I remember most about it is It got me out of study halls .. My oldest and dearest friend was Janet Green. I am so sorry that we let time, space and other obstacles widen the gap between us. I would really like to know what happened to her. Another friend that I remember is Barbara Black. Now that we are older, maybe we can mend the rift that fromed between us . Another friend I remember is Connie Giddy. What happened to you Connie? And Carol, I can't forget her. Carol LaMonica and I got to know each other better closer to graduation and I grew to respect her. The last time I saw any of you was at our 16 yr. reunion. That was a few years ago.
