Earther's Story
Hello everyone,I joined the Classmates Group because I never get to see some of you, but would like very much to keep in touch. Or get in touch with those I have not had any contact with for years. I have been in Gainesville since I left Palatka. I have three grown (very grown) children, 11 grandchildren and 4 greatgrand children. They are the joy of my life. I love it that they all live someplace I can go visit. I love football and love the fact they all live in an NFL city.
My college football loyalties lie first with the University of Florida Gators, then FAMU, BCU, Grambling, then Tampa and Miami. I'm sure many of you wonder why I put UF ahead of the HBCU's; not because I live in Gainesville, but because I graduated from UF. I decided to go back to school after retiring as a Radiologic Technologist (29 yrs). College to me was just as much fun and interesting as it must have been when you went.

d several others shared classes with "Gator Granny" :-). I loved it. I also led the graduation line, escorted by the head Faculty Marshal.
I know this is long, but if we never get to sit down and talk about our lives since high school, you can say you know something about my life as an adult.
On a more serious note; I had a heart attack on September 22, 2012. I am still in a recouperative period, but doing quite well. I thank God for giving me another chance to continue to enjoy my family, and friends and to reconnect with people from my past. To each of you I say, slow down, relax more, enjoy the people God has placed in your life, value them more than the THINGS you own, listen to your body, you only get one.
LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE,
Earther
