Tim's Story

I remember being told in 10th grade, "we aren't laughing with you, we are laughing at you" in math class. But you were laughing, and that was good enough. I graduated from the University of Tennessee in '87, then I moved to Nashville and have been a musician for a long time, sadly not been famous-yet! But had some close calls. Through years of practice I've become a pretty good singer- no more air band for me! I miss lots of you guys and really regret not going to the 10-year reunion. In addition to music, I work in the e-Commerce industry too. I am now married and father to an incredibly beautiful girl, Xena. I am so blessed in every way imaginable. The sad thing is that I've kept up with almost nobody from High School, since I moved to Nashville, etc. Posted some pix from band shots that you will find very amusing. I grew my hair pretty long. Big hellos out there to my peeps who were good to me, Lynn Drake, Jeff & Roy Jones, Beth Smith, The Wright's Ferry Mafia (Tony and Mongo), I remember too many folks to mention I'd like to shout out too, in no particular order, Mary Quirk, Alexa Moon, the always lovely Janet May,...Rob Martin, Jenny Keck, Paul Jones, Jack Nichols, John McKinney, Mary Alice & the Hardcore bunch (Carl Snow, Greg Rogers, David Teague, Richard Creekmore, Velvet Vance & Christy House) Oh what fun art class was (occasionally)!!, Betsy Piper (forgive my blindness) and Beci Bolding (did you find love with 'Ned Rierson'? this is a riddle), Jonathan Pruitt, Tommy & Shannon Simpson, Stacy Sokol, Tracy Armstrong, Beef, Carol...Terr...Expand for more
i Rhoads and Jeff Whitaker, Anne Krakauer, Scott and Robert Buck, Scott Buchanan, oh boy did we have some great wrestling matches against Jeff Jones, but he always won... "Disco" Bob Hammett, wonder how you are bro, you sure are a gifted guitar player, so proud of your change of heart and I got there too. The indomitable Blairs, who last saw me as i was moving to nashville and getting fired from making pizza at Mr. Gattis (laughing), Reino and Andrew Riggsby, Seema Singh, Robbie Oakes, Steve & Connie Huntsman, John Wright, Marihelen and Leah Clevenger, James Dungan, Richard Love (you and me and the Blairs were all that was left standing june 1987 on that podium in Stokely! we deserve a pat on the back for making it through in 4), Greg Bull, Chris Rainwater, Jacqi Kitchell, the unforgettable Barbie Massie, the list goes on and on... fortunately!!!! swat my hind with a melon rind if I've forgotten ye. I'm going to slap my head an hour from now and wish I'd typed your name in. Lynn Drake gets special thanks for helping me meet Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, 2 of the biggest thrills of my life, and you were a good prom date too (no boasts, we were just friends). Hope things turned out good for you Miss Misbehaving! *** Since other folks might read this that didn't go to Bearden, I would be forgetting the unforgettable to fail to mention Stacy Beam, Melissa Hill, Laura Brown. (significant glances thrown their way, a look and a nod is all needs be said). Jinkies if you made it down this far, you must have been really bored and looking for something to do!
