Mary Katherine's Story
Life is good!
After Hillwood, I went to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and graduated with a degree in Accounting because it was practical (yes, exciting stuff!). I worked as a CPA for four years and decided there had to be a better life than the travel and long hours of a CPA.
So, I went back to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville to get my MBA. Met my husband (to be), on the first day of MBA class! We quickly became friends and work out buddies (I still run and lift weights, just like in high school*) and the rest is history.
In Spring 1994, I graduated with an MBA, got married the next week, honeymooned and moved to the Fort Worth, TX area with my husband.
In Texas, my husband and I worked for BNSF Railway in Marketing. I am still with BNSF, but now located in Plymouth, Michigan (a suburb of Detroit...), selling transportation services to automotive customers (yes, s...Expand for more
elling to the auto companies currently going bankrupt).
For fun, I read, work out, watch tv, garden, draw (just taught myself with books and videos!) and support the lifestyle to which my cats and husband have become accustomed. My husband plays guitar, drums, etc., so I listen to his practices (Van Halen concert every night in our basement, whether I want it or not!), carry gear and attend performances.
I liked Texas and now like Michigan, but I admit I miss Nashville and home! I haven't been back to a class reunion, but I am getting the itch to do so. I hope someone plans one. If I miss anything about high school, it would be the track team and the comaraderie.
Thanks to those of you who have photos posted (Linda, Clif, Lauren, Bubba, etc.). I loved seeing them and they made me smile.
I wish all of my classmates the best!
