Gary's Story

I'm from Riviera Beach,Md. south of Baltimore..Moved due to my Dad's job to Peachtree City, Georgia and attended Fayette County H.S. in 11th and 12th grades. Graduated class of 1974. Thanks to Class Mates, I've been in contact with several of you out there, would like to hear from more. I still remember the Z-93 ( Atlanta )School Spirit Contest and all the signing of those petitions we had scotch taped to the walls everywhere in the school!!!! Man, I thought several teachers would hang me, because the school actually set time aside so everyone could fill up the petitions that hung on all the hallway walls! We won!!! Least liked teachers ( the ones who were mean) were: Ms. Corrn at High Point Elm. Ms. Lee who taught History at Corkran Jr, High. Mr. Bird who taught electronics at Northeast H.S. Most liked teachers were Ms. Fuesarens at High Point Elm. Ms. Burris who taught English at Fayette County H.S. Ms Vorheimer, Art teacher at FCHS. It was her who gave me belief in myself. Schools attended: ▪︎High Point Elementary-Pasadena,Md ▪︎Corchran Jr. High- Glen Burnie,Md ▪︎Jack Juette Middle Sch- Charlottesville,Va ▪︎Northeast Hig...Expand for more
h School- Pasadena,Md ▪︎Severna Park High School - Severna Park, Md. ▪︎Fayette County High School- Fayetteville,Ga Workplace Worked in 3 fields that always interested me, trucks,trains, and radio...what a combination! Drove much of eastern U.S. from 1978 to 1990.Left the road (too many crazy drivers) and got to do mornings at WSLC-AM in Roanoke,VA. While there, got involved with Norfolk Southern Steam-Program operating real live steam trains in the south and midwest states. I was called to come to work for Amtrak in Wash,DC in 2000. Left the radio station in Roanoke,VA. I was Conductor for Amtrak on trains Wash,DC to New York. Promoted to the Acela high speed train on the New York run. Sometimes working the MARC local trains between Baltimore & Wash,DC. Retired in January 2018. I am married, but ask me about details on that. My high school sweet-heart was Ava Hatton at Fayette County High. As most of us remember our high school reunion, it was great to be there for the celebration with good friends and good food. I want to keep in contact with all of you from all of the schools that I've gone to. Take care, Gary Ballard
