Megi (Von) (Morton) Marsters-Garrison:  

Life I was born in Tampa, Florida at MacDill A.F.B. in 1955 (Air Force brat) - kind of changed my Dad's plans for the 1955 t-bird (2-seater) that he had just ordered! We lived in a small town called Statesboro, Georgia from 1961-67, where I attended Sallie Zetterower Elementary School. We moved to Tucson, AZ in 1967, where I attended Naylor Junior H.S. from 1967-69. We lived on Davis Monthan A.F.B. where I learned to drive on an old runway! I graduated in Tucson from Santa Rita H.S. in 1973 (first 4-year graduating class). I moved to Anchorage, Alaska in 1973 with my folks and lived on Elmendorf A.F.B. (skiied, worked, took college classes at the Univ. of AK, and met my fiance). In 1974, we moved to Tampa, Florida and have been here ever since. I married Scott Marsters (fiance from AK) in 1975. We had one lovely daughter named Molly Lyn in 1979. I graduated from Hillsborough Community College's School of Nursing and became a R.N. in 1979. I primarily worked as an oncology nurse or in related fields of oncology over the next several years. Divorced in 1987. I received my B.S.N. in Nursing at the Univ. of Tampa in 1991. I married Mitch Garrison in 1993 and gained a stepson - Jamie. I received my M.S.N./ARNP in Nursing as an Adult Nurse Practitioner in 1999 at the University of South FLorida. I was employed by Bruce Lamb, as a Nurse Consultant/Paralegal at Ruden, McClosky law firm in Tampa until 2008. Then I moved to McCumber Daniels law firm. My hobbies include photography and traveling. I'm a lifetime "cat" person - our current family cat is P.J. (named Pepper Junior after our previous cat of 17 years, Pepper). I'm also a recent chihuahua person - Mom of Elvis since Spring 2005. I'm also a "family" person and was fortunate to have my folks, Tom and Von Morton, living here in town since 1977, until Mom died in 2004. My daughter, Molly, received her B.A. in Communications at my Arma Madre, the University of Tampa, in 2000, and she received her Masters Degree in Integrated Marketing at Emerson College in Boston, MA (youngest graduate at age 23)in May of 2003. My stepson, Jamie, graduated with a bachelor's degree in finance from USF. And my husband, Mitch, owns his own business in interior design "Garrison's Total Interior Design" (his Mom started the company over 40 years ago) and is a realtor for Prudential Tropical Realty. So with a very busy family life, I can actually see how these last 35 years (since graduation from SRHS '73) have flown by! My first high school reunion was my 30 year, and it was something else - I had truly always wanted to attend! School I attended grade school in a small town called Statesboro, Georgia. The school was Sallie Zetterower and I can remember the days of walking to school with friends without a worry in the world! I went to junior high at Naylor in Tucson, Arizona. Now those were a couple of interesting years as we all wanted to grow up so fast! Then I attended Santa Rita High School in Tucson. We were the first four-year graduating class at the new high school. It was a great expe...Expand for more
