Gwyn's Story
Life
Hi! Long Time no see. I'd love to get in contact with any of my friends from McDowell High School. What are you up to? What are you doing now? Any children? etc.
Here's a quick summary of the past few years....
I finally went back to college and earned a BS degree in Accounting from ASU (Boone, NC). I lived & worked in Raleigh, NC for 5 1/2 years as a Corporate Accountant for IBM. In June 2004 I became a remote (IBM) employee working as a Financial Analyst. As of 2009, I'm still working for IBM (just completed my 10th year) and I'm lucky enough to work out of my home. I really enjoy my work (albeit stressful) and being able to work from anywhere, is a great plus.
In May 2005 I became a full time resident of Orange Park, FL. I was finally able to to build my own home and settle down like a real adult. Although, I do live right across the street from my Sister & her husband, two beautiful nieces (15 & 17) and handsome nephew (7). They're the greatest!
I have 6 nephews and 2 nieces, but no children of my own. (Maybe one day).
I'd love to get in touch with any of you from McDowell High Class of 1984. You were all FANTASTIC!!
Let me know if you're around.

In September 2008 I traveled to India for two weeks, and found everything there amazing. The countryside gorgeous, and each city is full of historic landmarks, and rich with culture. The Hindu people spoke English and treated me (and my co-travelers) with the utmost kindness. Of course there was the very, very poor, and the very, very wealthy, but all in all a trip I will remember fondly.
