Jill's Story
It is hard to believe that 32 years have passed since graduation. It seems like yesterday we were walking across the stage to get our diplomas and begin our lives...where has the time gone?
Happily, I have just celebrated my 30th year with Delta Air Lines. In June, 1982, I met my husband, Kerry, on a full flight between Kansas City and Atlanta. He bought me roses after landing in Atlanta and invited me out to dinner. We were engaged 3 months later, after a whirlwind, long distance (I was still a Miami resident) romance. We married in April, 1983 and are quickly coming up on our 25 Anniversary!
We have 3 wonderful children, John Abbott, a sophomore at Ole Miss, and Katherine and Sara, twin sophomores at Dunwoody High. John is on a club swim team, rows, plays golf, and is planning on a career in the military. Katherine and Sara are as different personality wise as any two siblings can be but have found common ground on the tennis court. This is their second year on a varsity team and that being said, neither cares to play in college at this point.

n is based in South Carolina. He manages to work most weeks out of the home office which is quite nice. He was with another company until last August and was gone for Monday through Thursday for an eighteen month period. We are all delighted to have him back home.
I am still flying the skies. While I have been to most of Delta's destinations in Europe, I have taken a sabatical on overnights until the girls are in college. I currently fly west coast all night trips and get my shut eye between 7a and 1p. It works well for our family. I have involved myself in fundraising over the past several years at our club. The recipients of the club's efforts have ranged from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta to ALS. The most rewarding effort to date was participation with two buddies in the 3-Day Walk for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Kerry, Katherine, Sara, and I are tennis enthusiaists. Kerry and I enjoy golf. ...and then there's the beach....landlocked in Atlanta doesn't really work well for me so, we make frequent trips to the beach.
I hope my profile finds all alumni doing well. I won't have any conflicts for reunion 35 so I hope to see y'all soon.
