TWO AWESOME CHILDREN, KELLEY AND TOM ARE ALSO TEACHERS AND COACHES FOR HILLIARD CITY SCHOOLS, AND I AM PROUD TO HAVE 6 GRANDKIDS (1 MORE ON THE WAY) WITH WHOM I HAVE A BLAST WITH ON A REGULAR BASIS.

NOW, SINCE I JUST SIGNED UP FOR THE PV COMMUNITY OF "CLASSMATES", I'LL HAVE TO CONTINUE WITH MY STORY TO INCLUDE THE AWESOME PEOPLE I HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO KNOW DURING THAT SPAN OF MY LIFE! WOW! I GUESS I HAVE BEEN PRETTY LUCKY!
