Michael's Story
After graduation I did very little . I went to Columbus Tech for Auto Body and Painting . I fially got tired of being kicked around from job to job so I let a friend talk me into applying to CVCC College . Since my grades left a little to be desired I thought it was a safe effort . Once I was approved I did not know how to get out of it so I went . I got an Associates Degree in General Bussiness . I graduated with Honors and was a member of Gama Beta Fi Honors Society. Can you belive that from a good strong "C" student at Kendrick High? I met my wife Yvonne Cross while I was in College . I wanted a change so I accepted a job teaching High School in Riverdale , Ga. I taught Auto Body and Painting for two years before retiring . I had finished an old 1971 Corvette that I had restored and I married Yvonne. I had always talked about going to California and Yvonne had lived there for about a year . She told me I had to go or I would always regret it. We quit our jobs after being married only 3 months . We put everthing in storage and hit the road . It took a week to get there and we spent a month wandering around Calif...Expand for more
ornia (not exactly what I thought it was) . We wandered around for a few more weeks up north and down the east coast. After two months on the road we were passing throuh Athens ,Ga. I picked up the newspaper and got a job at National Traveler Van Conversion as a Cusom Painter . Athens felt like home so we bought some land and built our Dream House . I had taken Drafting at CVCC so I designed a house for us. About four years later I opend my own Body Shop and we started a family . Two boys (Cody and Cole)and Fifteen years later I decided to close Prestige Body Shop and get a job in town . After several more years I am an Instructor at Athens Technical College . No Worries and No Regrets !!! After graduation I dated a beautiful blond girl for a few months . Less than a year after we broke up she had a child . I heard rumors the child was mine but my ex-girlfriend was married to another man and would not tell me for sure . Within months the new family moved out west. About a month ago I received a note on Facebook and performed a DNA Test to find out I have a daughter named Kristi Michelle. LIFE IS FULL OF SUPRISES !
