Kim Green Ragland:  

Life I saw some of you at the 20 year reunion and it was great to reconnect. But, for those who haven't seen me since the last reunion(1995), here's a brief rundown of life.I was 5 weeks pregnant at the time with my third child ( or so I thought) it turned out to be twins. I now have a 18yr old boy, 14 yr. old boy and 11 yr old twins- boy and girl. Between 1991 and 1995 I lived in Killeen,Texas and Augusta, Georgia. I moved back to Mich. in 1995 and remained there til my divorce in 1999. I now live in Kentucky and it's beautiful here. A nice small hometown atmosphere. I still love kids and have been working on and off since moving here. I worked for two years at the Christian School. I have been substitue teaching as kindergarten aide and special ed.for the past five years at our public elemenatary and middle schools. I ventured into the high school last year and spent 7 weeks working in the library, which allowed me to experience life from my oldest son's surroundings. I have been working in FMD classroom (special needs) since the beginning of the school year and was hired full time in January. Boy, high school has changed alot in 20 years. My children are in 12th, 9th, and 5th. Life is never dull. I remarried in October 2004 to a wonderful man who was willing to love not only me and my stubborness, but to take on the responsibility of four children who have very little contact or support from their father. For those of you who knew Eric Gipson (he graduated in 1986),we married in 1987 and divorced in 1990. He was Jordan's (my oldest) biological father and hadn't had contact with Jordan since 1991 when my then-husband adopted him: but Eric passed away in January of 2005. Life is very busy, but I love the challenges that come with raising four children. I now realize how hard it was for my parents to let go and let us grow up. I have shed many a tear already over the heartaches that children bring. But all the same I am very proud of all of them. ...Expand for more
