Kerry Stoots:  

For those from Polytech coming to my page, I went to your school 72 to 73 in 10th grade and was supposed to start my junior year there, but my parents decided to come back to NC. I did my junior and senior year at North Mecklenburg High in Huntersville, NC and graduated from there. I had went to Alexander Junior High with many at North Mecklenburg, before we moved to California. I am mother of 3, step-mother to two (we lost one in November of 2009) and grandmother to 11. I was a Adjunct Professor for Gardner-Webb University (GOAL Program) until June, 2014 when they told me they did not have enough face-to-face classes for me and still not back yet. I live in Mount Holly, NC for this point in my life. I love spending time with my family, when that can happen! My husband of 24 years was diagnosed with leukemia in September of 2009 and passed away on March 27, 2012. I have been blessed to find love again and my sweet and wonderful man is David Allen.

I occasionally just blow up, but not often. The wildest thing I ever did in school was to skip class with Charlotte, Cheri, and Deb and take off for the lake. That was not in my character! But I needed time to live a more adventurous life with them! It added to my character and I have life long friends in them. My inspiration has to have come from some of the most amazing teachers I had through out my life. My most influential was Mrs. Harry of Alexander Junior High, Ms. Lycon of Alexander Junior High, and Mrs. Tucker of Pacoima Junior High in California. I have lived in NC, VA, NY, and CA. I moved during my childhood because my parents moved. I have moved to VA as an adult to take my sick husband to VA to be near family a few years b...Expand for more
