Elayne Wood:  

Life has been a roller coaster ride!! Contact me elaynewood and my provider is bellsouth.net or 865.774.2700. After HS, I attended college in Atlanta where I studied Interior Design. I married and moved first to Florida where I loved going to the beach in the mornings and working in the evenings. Then I moved back to TN; went to UT, had a son, Bobby, in 1975 and a daughter, Ronica, in 1977 - just 1 week before her dad had to report to Ft. Worth, TX. We joined him when she was 8 weeks old and lived there for almost 3 years. My dad was diagnosed with cancer in late 1978 and I came home for several months to care for him. He passed away in 1979. We moved to GA in mid-1980, then back to TN. The children grew up much smarter than their mom!! Bobby graduated 7th and Friendliest in his class, Ronica (Now pic above) was a cheerleader and Salutatorian. Bobby now lives in England with his wife Laura, and daughters, Jade and Ellie. He is a counselor at a residential school for autistic boys. I do miss him, but I think he should experience all he can while he is young and has the chance!! I have always taught him there was a much bigger world out there than our little town in E TN. "WHAT WAS I THINKING?" Ronica graduated from UT with a BS in Microbiology, (I barely passed Mr. Lynch's Biology!) and a second BS in Medical Technology. She works in the lab at ParkWest Hospital. All that $$ on 2 degrees..now she plays in pee and poop all day! She married her hs sweetheart, Derrick in 1999. One week after the 9/11 tragedy, she delivered my first grandchild, a little girl named Macy Blayke. Granddaughter #2 is Madelyn Taylor, born March 9, 2006. What joys! They are Gram's angels and the very lights of my life!! Ronica, Derrick and the girls recently m...Expand for more
