Ronald's Story
Life. . .
At my surprise 50th birthday party in January 2006, I was pleased to spend time with Richard Taylor and his wife Joy, plus Marshall Trent, his wife Bonnie, and their two children. Others in attendance with Cumberland connections included Michael Scales, Joseph Brooks, Cassandra Brown Johnson, Renee' Cassette, etc.
After turning 50, I decided to purchase my "dream car," a Corvette! It had to be from the 70's of course . . . so I ended up with a 1978 Silver Anniversary Pace Car, with only 13,000 miles! I'm in the process of doing some light restoration work on it, and look forward to cruising with fellow classmate Kevin "Sweetwater" Liggons, who has been cited on the "streets" of Cumberland in a Burgundy Vette from the same era (1970's). Look for us soon at a gas...Expand for more

My kids are almost grown, as my son is a senior at Christopher Newport University, and my daughter is a junior at James Madison University. Both enjoy the Corvette, and seem happy for me. My wife is very accepting of my "mid-life crisis" also, but was not initially convinced that I needed a Corvette. I tactfully explained (as I often did with Ms. Garrett, Ms. Gilliam, Mrs. D. Smith, etc.) to my wife that when I look at cars, especially classic cars . . . they are all very nice . . . but, when I look at a Corvette. . . it "takes my breath away!" I further explained that it is much the same as when I look at other women, especially attractive ones . . . they are all very nice . . . but, when I look at her . . . she "takes my breath away!"
