Kat (Kathy) Cannon Coons:  

I'm afraid I was a rather strange student & really didn't "hang" with my own classmates but those that were older or younger. I do hope people remember me as odd but fun. I was so immature in school & never wanted to be in school, I was bored much of the time. I married a year after Grad. to the guy I dated for 3yrs. It lasted 9 months! I'm happy to say, we're still good friends, just too different to make a marriage out of us. I worked at Rich's for 4yrs. under the buyers & ass'ts where I met a whole new life! I also met someone that I loved so completely but from past experiences, I knew that I could not be the person he needed in his life so I drove him into his fiancees arms. Off to another guy shortly after that to help myself heal my broken heart, I ended up married again only to find out what getting beat up was & learning that the man I married was one of the biggest drug dealers on the east coast & other parts of the world. It lasted 3yrs., only because it took me 2yrs. to find him to get my divorce that I had to blackmail him to get. In that relationship, I learned all about the world of porn since he worked for his brother that owned a chain of adult bookstores & theaters. I did a lot of the book keeping, ordering mdse., etc. I had a stepson then that his mother had abandoned at 6mos. & his father had left him to be raised by his grandparents. That's what had drawn me to marry Larry, I had just been told that I would never be able to carry a baby full term. The 3 ob/gyn's were mistaken I found out much later, or as I was informed, I had a miracle, just enjoy it. I also worked as a topless dancer for a couple of yrs. & had the time of my life!! Not bottomless, private club, no one was allowed to say anything out of the way to us muchless try to touch. Besides, in 1974, I was bringing home $1400. a week. I actually met my husband during that time, he was one of my best tippers! His business was in NC where we met. He told me there were mountains in NY, I didn't believe him so we lived here for 5yrs, then got married, moved back to Ga for 5yrs. His parents were not in great shape so along with our 2 children we had, we moved back here & have remained for 25 yrs now. My daughter Jennifer is my miracle & honeymoon gift & her brother, Benjamin was conceived when she was 7mos old! We took care of that after he was born for my anniversary, my husband asked what I wanted. I replied, "a vasectomy dear but, they won't do me"! My love is 15yrs. older than me with 2 girls from his previous marriage, JoAnne was killed in '93 in an accident. Her & her fiancee were celebrating her finishing Engineering School & their engagement. She handed her keys to him, both drunk, both now dead! My stepdaughter, Christina has never gotten over it but is living on her ranch, working as a partner in an exquisite salon in Binghamton, NY & we really don't see her. Our Jennifer went to a private college in PA, got her BA in Psychology/Biology, is currently building an awesome home with her, someday after the house is done fiancee, & has her career in admin. for the disabled. She is truly my best friend, I'm soooo lucky with both of my "kids"(Jennifer is 27 & her brother, Benjamin, will be 26 in Dec.) My son is still living at home (great for us), engaged to Dana(lives about 45 mins from Philly),wedding is Oct/2011, works for a large Grocery store, & hopefully, he will go back to coll...Expand for more
