Mary's Story
I was not really involved with Central High or Wyoming Park school functions. I had very strict parents, who worked full time, and I lived so far from school it was hard to get involved in many things.
I really enjoyed orchestra and jazz band and and would love to hear from EVERYONE, but if anyone knows anything about Tammi, Jim, and Mr. Nixon, I would appreciate the heads up.

I became pregnant with my eldest child in my senior year and moved out of my parents home at 17. I was only at Central for the first couple of months of that pregnancy and went to school elsewhere to finish. I still graduated from night s...Expand for more
chool in 1984 but my graduation pictures from Wyoming Park High show me with my 3 month old daughter.
I think having a daughter made me make better choices then I might have made if she had not been there. I didn't get the opportunity of proms, etc, but looking back on the joys of children were wonderful.
So, now I am a Mother of two and married, and a Nanna! We have three dogs, two dachshunds and an English Mastiff.
I work full time in the Lansing area with exports, work with couples in a wedding business. I work with this out of our house in the spare time and when we get the chance, see the kids, our grand-daughter and use the time share and travel.
My husband and I have done a lot of traveling in the last few years. See my My Space - osculateswedding
I would look forward to hearing from my old friends and school mates. What have you been doing? How has life treated you?
