Drema's Story
Life
I've been fortunate enough to find my soul mate. I've been married for 16 years. We have 2 dogs, no kids. We are free to travel and we do so often.
School
I would love to get ahold of a year book from 83-86, maybe that would help bring back some old memories of High School. I don't remember it being too painful. Would I ever re-live it. NO WAY!
Fact is, I made two of the best friends ever, Sabrina Williams and Terry Reed. I lost contact with Terry almost as soon as I graduated because I moved to Columbus, Oh. I saw her on occassion when back in Belpre from time to time, but haven't seen her for at least 18 years. I hope to be able to find her before the reunion. Sabrina also moved to Columbus, and kept in touch for many years, but in 1990 when I moved to Colorado, and my other family living in the area moved to Florida, I lost contact. (anybody know how to get in touch with them?)
I remember cruising in Sabrina's car to Marietta, when we had enough money to put gas in her car (we went to vocational school our Junior and Senior year). Or syphoning gas from her mom's car late at night. Mostly we took the bus up to Marietta every day, the bus driver was a doll, she had a kid in school, several years ahead of me. Adam, I think his name was Adam. Went to several wild parties at his house.
The Charlie Daniels tape we played on that bus every day still makes me get down and boogie 20 years later.
There's so much more good times...Expand for more
I shared with others, can't wait to see who all comes back to the 20th reunion and what memories they can draw up from the past. (My husband will tell you, memory recall is not my best asset. It's hard to recall memories from my vacation last year!)
I used to have a crush on a blonde haired boy named Beatty, I know he wasn't related to Stephanie Beatty, I can't remember his first name. Of course, all he did was make fun of me.
College
I went to a small private college in Columbus, Oh 87-90. Earned a degree in accounting. But mostly hung out at OU in Athens.
Workplace
I work for a large international computer learning center. I've been with them for 7 years and rank in the top 2% of account managers nation wide! Very simply, I sell training to the Government and to local small to medium sized businesses, where I get to build relationships with professionals in charge of employee development within there organizations. It's tough some times, meeting sales goals, but I enjoy it.
Military
I've never been in the military, but because of my job, I have a lot of close relationships with the men and women serving our country.
We have the United States Air Force Academy here, plus 4 other installations, both Air Force and Army. The Government is the largest employer here.
We respect and regard these men and women as hero's, and regularly salute them!
Fort Carson has lost over 40 soldiers to the war in Iraq. GOD Bless them all!
