Dawne Martin:  

Hello everyone! I'm Dawne Michelle Crews Martin. I lived and went to school in Malden, MO til I was in the 11th grade but decided to attend PBHS as a Sr. when my dad got married and moved to Poplar Bluff with her and her family. It was very strange to go to a 3A school all my life and boom now I'm in a 5A school. WOW, you all made it a great place and I made some good friends. I miss you all and all the fun we had as only Sr.s can have!!! I soon moved after graduation to a amall town, Glenmora, LA, (South of Alexandria, LA) with my Aunt. I then got married to a true CAJUN in 1987. I had my first son later that year. We had 2 other children after that, my daughter in 1989, then another son in 1993. By then we had move to Southeast TX. I was divorsed in 1994 and soon remarried my 2nd husband (he had a daughter from a previouse marriage that added to our new family) and we moved our new family to Brookeland, TX. Actually we live in the LAKE SAM RAYBURN COMMUNITY. It's a beautiful area with the lake just across the road from our place and they have golf, pool, sports area and all kinds of things to offer our family. The Brookeland school was SO small , 1A, but it was perfect and my children and step-daughter excelled at most everything. Since we lived by the lake you HAD to own a BOAT....we also had family that live right on the Sabine River and more family that lived on the gulf coast, Crystal Beach....needless to say we stayed were the water was. My kiddos were true water babies. Well when you think everything is goin great that's when in reality things are falling apart...I finally saw what was really happening and finally divorsed again in 2005. I spiralled out of control after that. My dad had passed in 2002 and lies from someone I truely trusted came to light, my 2nd divorse, my home was hit by huricaine Rita in 2005, & soon after my grandmother, that lived in Poplar Bluff...Expand for more
