I was a legal secretary for years after high school graduation, but living in a big city was not where I wanted to be. When my family and I started looking at different colleges, we fell in love with Charleston because it is rural, but it is not so small that we have no post office.

I now live in Charleston, IL. I am married, have a daughter (21 - Gina) who will graduate from Eastern in 2001 (English major) who is planning on going into Ministry.

God blessed him with a wonderful job as a Facilities Manager for TQW, a division of Agracel.
Small town living is the best thing we ever did. I hope that each and every one of you will be able to find the happiness that we have down here. God is so good! God bless you all!
It would sure be nice to hear from any one from the Class of 1968. Please e-mail me if you get a chance and let's try to catch up on old times.
