Fred's Story
Life
I spent the best year and a half of my teenage years at Emma Sansom High School in Gadsden, Alabama. Even though I graduated from a high school in South Carolina, I always felt that the Sansom folks were my best high school friends. In fact, I wore my old Rebel Band jacket for several years after my family moved to Columbia, South Carolina.
I've sort of become a professional student and now have a master's, bachelor's, and two associate's degree.
I worked in the telecommunications industry since I finished my electronics degree in 1976. The telecommunications industry went to pieces at the end of 2001 and unfortunately, I was laid off.

a college professor. I am currently teaching at Western Carolina University, about thirty miles west of Asheville, NC.
I've traveled to Australia (1991), Venezuela (1988?), and Canada (1999).
I presently live in the Washington, DC metropolitan area (where I've lived for most of the last twenty years or so) and am relocating to Leesburg, Virginia at the end of March.
I'm still a happy, single guy and will probably remain that way.
I kept saying that one day I will visit Gadsden again and see some of my old friends that still live there. I am hoping to participate in the upcoming alumni band on October 28, 2005.
I hope to hear from some of you again.
If you can get my email address from this site, please drop me a note. I would love to hear from you.
