Debra's Story
Life
I guess I should start at the beginning. I married Alan Conrad in '74 we had a son, Christopher, three years later. We divorced after seven years of marriage and I moved to Florida. I have been here since. I remarried in '83 and I have a daughter, Brianna. Divorced (again) 3 1/2 years later and stayed single until 2002. I finally met my soul mate and am the happiest I have ever been. I have two children, two step-children and 13 grandchildren. I've been working with my brother for about 10 years now. I live in a small town on the west coast of Florida, in the country. We have 1 dog, 4 motorcycles and love to take off on trips on the bike with my husband as chauffeur.

Basketball games, Pep rallies, school assemblies.
Sit ins and walk outs.
Racial problems amoung the students.
Sandy's drive-in (now Hardees).
Bell bottoms that drug 3 inches below your feet.
Long hair.

I regret not hanging onto my 1974 LanHi and would love to get ahold of another copy.
I think that's enough of a trip down memory lane for today.
