Sandra's Story
AFTER GRADUATION FROM GORDON, I ATTENDED BELMONT COLLEGE (NOW A UNIVERSITY) IN NASHVILLE. I HAD HELP FROM JIM DRAPER (CHOIR DIRECTOR AT GORDON) IN OBTAINING A SMALL MUSIC SCHOLARSHIP. THIS IS WHERE I MET MY HUSBAND, WOODY ODOM. HE WAS A SENIOR WITH A FULL ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP FROM JASPER, ALABAMA. THAT'S HOW I ENDED UP IN ALABAMA. WE MARRIED IN 1962. I QUIT COLLEGE. GOT PREGNANT TWO WEEKS AFTER WE MARRIED (REALLY!) WE HAVE THREE DAUGHTERS AGED 50, 49 AND 44. THREE SON-IN-LAWS.

YWAY WOODY AND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FIFTY ONE YEARS. WE BOTH RETIRED IN 2005. MY PROFESSION WAS AN ACCOUNTANT FOR NEW ENGLAND LIFE INSURANCE CO. AT RETIREMENT. WOODY WAS THE EMA ( EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY) DIRECTOR FOR JEFFERSON COUNTY, BIRMINGHAM, AL.
WE DO NOT MISS WORKING AT ALL. DON'T KNOW HOW WE EVER GOT ANYTHING ACCOMPLISHED WHILE WORKING. WE TRAVEL QUITE A BIT. SINCE RETIRING WE HAVE BEEN TO EGYPT, MEXICO, ALASKA, HAWAII, THE CARRIBEAN AND OVER ONE HALF OF THE USA.
CONSIDERING OUR AGES ( I AM 70, WOODY IS 73) WE ARE IN RELATIVELY GOOD HEALTH. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL REMAIN THE CASE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 15 TO 20 YEARS.
