Antonia (Toni)'s Story
Life
After high school I went to the University of Tennessee for 2 years. I didn't quite make it in college, so I became a flight attendant for Delta Airlines, based in Atlanta for about 1ÃÂý years. Got married & moved to Branford, CT. Divorced after 2 years & had 1 girl child, Michal, born in 1971. After the divorce I moved back to Miami. I worked at MDCC Kendall Campus for 8 years.
I then married Joe Vick, which some of you may know, & moved to Houston, TX. We had two children, Kendra & Devin. We divorced in 1985. I lived in Houston for 10 yrs. Again, I moved back to Miami in 1990.
Michal (a girl, pronounced the same way as Michael) is now 39. Graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in Sports Management & is now living in Tampa, FL. She is working for Southern Wine & Spirits. She has got the gift of gab & loves people, so she is doing very well. She has got promotions (territory) that others who have been there longer were not even asked to interview or did & didn't get the job. In September of 2009 she was promoted to "SWS ON-PREMISE DISTRICT MANAGER, DEDICATED WINE, TAMPA." She is the only woman to hold this position in the state of Florida. There will always be a demand for liquor & wine, so she has a pretty secure job. Kendra is 30. She graduated from Univ. of N. FL in Jacksonville with a degree in Athletic Training. She is working and also going to school to become an RN at Keiser University....Expand for more
It is a very intense 17 month program. My son, Devin, also went to the Univ. of N. Florida. He is 28. His major was psychology. He only has a little more than two semesters to go, but got a little off track like all of us at one time or another. He is now living in Tampa with the rest of us. Hopefully he will go back to school soon & finish.
I moved to Tampa, Florida in 2007, bought a house and am living with Kendra, Devin and my granddaughter Jayden. Kendra had Jayden on September 1, 2007. She is my first and only grandchild so far. What a cutie. And thank goodness she is a good child seeing that I'm the designated babysitter.
Love boating, fishing, computers & staying in touch with old friends. I have been a member of Classmates since 2000 and have touched base with a lot old and new friends.
Some of you may remember me because I had a 1965 Fastback Mustang, silver blue in high school. I was very fortunate, but my parents had an alternative motive for buying me the car. I had four nieces, one of whom is Connie Campbell which some of you may know, By having the car my mother didn't have to do all the running around for the younger nieces, like picking them up from school or taking them to a movie. Kind of smart on their part!
For any of you that read this, I hope life has treated you well & I would love to hear from you.
