Life
I married Kathy Pack (Sayre - '72) in June of 1973. In August 1974 we had our one and only child - Eric. After a short stint in the Navy I began college at Liberty Baptist College in Lynchburg, VA. I graduated magna cum laude with a BS in Accounting - at AHS I was in the top 70%; at Liberty I was in the top 2%!
After graduating in 1982 from LBC, now Liberty University, I began work with a regional CPA firm, passed the CPA exam and was certified and licensed in 1984. I then enrolled in the MBA program at Lynchburg College, graduating in 1986.

Stacy is involved in the movie industry and has lived in Beverly Hills, CA since 1997. She graduated from WV State in 1992 with a BS in Communications.
Brad spent a year in Korea and the rest of his Army career in Fayetteville, NC. He now resides in MI and has given us a granddaughter, born in 1998.
Bev and I currently reside in Elizabeth City, NC, a coastal community about the size of Athens & Sayre combined. We plan to stay here until...
I play guitar in a church praise & worship group and am very involved in a prison ministry called "Kairos." The word Kairos is one of two Greek words for "time". In the prison ministry sense it means "God's Special Time."
Last bit of information - I ran my first marathon in 2004 at 50 years old. I haven't attempted a second one yet! Everybody should do it at least once.
