Charlotte's Story
Hi, I graduated at mid-term and married Elton Watson from the 1960 class in 2/64 so missed out on a lot the last semester of Sr year. Did go through commencement services with class. I was pretty quiet in school and was close friends with Christie Carrigan, Sharon Dowlearn and Angie Cook.
Elton died of kidney failure in 1977. I have one son, Tony, who lives in Whitehouse outside of Tyler. He is married a lovely lady in 5/02. She has two good boys, Ethan, who will be 19 9/10, and Nolan, who will be 15 10/10. How quickly they grow up!
I started to college when I was 33 which was quite a culture shock! Met my current husband, Robert Jay Sanders, who graduated from Lamesa, at Angelo State where we both graduated. We married in 1985. I worked in public health most of my career as a Registered Sanitarian with local health departments and retired from the State Health Dept 10/05. Jay and I both retired from Cherokee County Health Department on 3/31/10! Yeah!!!! He was the IT person. He also does carpentry work and had his own cabinet making shop when in Lamesa.
We live between Jacksonville & Rusk in the piney woods of East Texas and have been in the area for 15 years having moved here from Austin where we live...Expand for more
d about 9 years.
We built us a new home on 18 acres out in the country most of which is heavily wooded 5 years ago and absolutely love the peace and quiet! We have a roadrunner aka "Roadie" who was on the property when we started building. He acquired a Mrs "Roadette" 2 years ago and we keep hoping to see little ones. They are so much run to watch and hear. Roadie will stop when we talk to him and will raise and lower his crown and will strut around. He knows we are talking to him. He loves to check out the tractor whenever Jay is bush-hogging. As of 5/30/10, we are acquiring a pregnant blonde donkey named Susie! She is just too cute.
We are taking care of Jay's 90 yr old mother who has severe dementia. She is our only surviving parent. She will be 91 on 8/14!
Angie & I have been in contact for many years and I reconnected with Barbara Briley at the 45th reunion. Donna Carroll Robertson and Otis Brasfield contacted me after the reunion too. Donna lives just north of Tyler and apparently several others live here in the E Tx area.
Pat Teague Roberts and I reconnected through this site. We had classes together and were friends in school.
Would love to hear from others from our class. I'm on Facebook
