Mary's Story

Life After graduating from Bass, I attended GA STATE for a year while working at EF Hutton. I married Jim Martin (Bass class of 1962) in July, 1967 after he graduated from GA TECH and was enrolled in the US Army. We lived near Ft. McPherson. Our lst daughter, Lisa, was born in 1969 and our 2nd daughter, Lindsey, was born in March, 1972. We moved to Gainesville, GA in 1974 as Jim accepted a promotion with GA POWER CO. We lived there 6 years then were transferred back in 1980. We moved back into the home we had built here and still reside in the same place. We used to say we lived in the country, although it has developed much in this area. However, we have managed to keep our acreage private and enjoy peace and quiet from the main road traffic and congestion. When our daughters were teenagers, I decided to return to college and get my degree. I went to Clayton State 4 years, majoring in Business. I also played the piano at our Church for the services on Sunday. I worked as the Church Secretary at Emory Presbyterian Church for 4 years also.

n Special Education from GA SOUTHERN and Lindsey has a degree in Management from GA TECH. They are both married now and have given us 6 grandchildren through the last 13 years. We have 3 grandsons and 2 grandaughters - one of our precious grandaughters died from a heart defect in 1995. Both daughters, their husbands and all our grandchildren live within 7 miles of us so we spend much of our time with them. Jim took early retirement from GA POWER in 2000 - he had been with the company 31 years and was Vice President of Economic Development. Jim and I will be married 38 years in July. We are enjoying our retirement, we do take care of an elderly aunt in a Nursing Home in Conyers and take care of my Mother, who lives next door to us. We travel occasionally and enjoy working in our yard and pastures. We take care of the grandchildren a lot and never miss their baseball and soccer games. We enjoy taking them fishing on our lake and they have lots of parties in our backyard pool during the summer months. They definitely love "the country". Jim and I are affectionately known as "Nanu and Grandad" to the older ones and "Nanu and Do-dad" to the 2-year olds.
