Evelyn's Story
Life
I went to work for Southern Bell in Atlanta soon after graduating. I met my husband here, and we celebrated 42 years of marriage this past June. We have one son that is a Computer Engineer and travels all over the world. He currently lives in Seattle Washington with his wife Kathy, and our toddler grandson Alex. You Tennessee football fans will love this: he (our son) has ORANGE blood. GO VOLS!!
I became a Christian after watching Billy Graham on TV, 3 years into my marriage. The love of God still overwhelms me (John 3:16). Asking Jesus into my heart, repenting of my sins, attending a good bible believing church, praying, and reading my bible daily has changed the direction of my life for the better. If you haven't done this, you should.
Currently, I am enjoying retirement. I have a new role being "Granny" to our grandson, and love it. God has blessed me tremendously with family, and friends. Blessings to all!

About 6 months after that I was promoted to Supervisor/Service Assisstant.In 1970 I transferred to the East Point Traffic department. In 1971, after 6 years in the Traffic Department, I transferred to the business office as a Service Rep. I worked a few weeks on Ashby St, in Atlanta, and moved with that office to Fairburn Rd. in Atlanta. I worked there as a Service Rep for about 3 years. I then transferred to the Jonesboro Business office in 1974, where I remained until I retired in 1996.
