Andrea's Story
Life
Wow, Class of '87, feels like yesterday and another lifetime ago all at once! Me, Andrea Ploe, former ROTC, I am married for the second time, Mother of 7 children, Brandi 19, Kristal 16, Taylor 10, Devin 8, ~Eloise~ our forever baby, she died at birth in 2000, because of her short existence I am now a very different person, and an active advocate for Pregnancy and Infant Loss and Awareness, make sure you do your kick counts ladies. Morgan 5, the road to healing, another rough and tough guy, but so sweet and gentle when he wants to be. And Kaylee 4 who has healed my soul, my precious baby girl. As if having 6 kids in the house isn't enough we also have several 4 legged kids, Midnight our 10 year old Black Lab, Tanner our 2 year old Jack Russell, Roo my Chocolate Box pup, and Cloudy my 8 year old Appy gelding.

youth, but it is beautiful up here, even if I can no longer stand the word *SNOW*. My husband is Native American and we live on a Reservation, so different from Jackson....He works for his tribes Casino, he opened the first one and now manages the Steakhouse at the second one.
I work in healthcare, I am the director of a group home for disabled and mentally handicapped folks, most of whom have spent their lives in institutions before being moved into community homes. It is challenging work but very fulfilling.
It would be great to hear from some high school buddies.
Hope everyone is well and happy!
Workplace
I've done it all, from Ride Ops at GA, to flipping burgers, to managing resturants, to nursing homes and now I am setteled into management in a state run group home. It's good being a state worker, lots of nice incentives, and what I do really makes a difference in peoples lives, it can be crazy and stressful, but I enjoy it!
