Life
I met my husband Jim in Rock Hill while in college, and we were married in 1964. I graduated from Winthrop in 1965. He graduated from Carolina in '74, so we are Gamecock fans, bleeding garnet and black. While he was in the air force, we lived in Bermuda and Kansas. Loved Bermuda, hated Kansas!

ed after 33 years. Jim says I finally graduated from seventh grade! He is a semi-retired CPA. We hope to now have more time in the mountain house in Valle Crucis, NC, to travel on the Harley (did get new leathers!), and to play with Savannah. Have taken up golf again, much to the chagrin of golf course residents and birds in trees along the fairway. Am looking forward to "doing lunch" like normal people, hanging out with my friends and making new ones, early mornings on the porch in my pajamas, reading, and playing in the flower beds again. Am in touch w/Tanny O'Kelly and Marian Hancock, but would like to hear from others in the class also. Call if you get to the beach (238-8897). We'll "do lunch" or something.
