Terisa Reinholtz:  

Since high school: I had a daughter, Angel-Maye Marie Reinholtz (born, baby girl Reinholtz, on Friday, 13 August 1982. Her name was changed to Briana S. McDonald). I gave her up for adoption (yes, I was pregnant during my Senior year & missed the prom) to a wonderful couple (Delwyn & Barbara McDonald) who were unable to have their own children. Her birth father is David Dean Erler of Chula Vista, CA. I am very Proud of Briana Maciulla. She is a hard working vet tech, and now has a wonderful family, and has given me a grandson, Donovan Nicholas Maciulla. After I gave Briana up to her new parents, I met (over the phone & later in person) & married a US Coast Guardsman (Ricky Wayne Davidson) on Saturday, 02 February 1985 in San Diego, CA. We trekked on over to Yorktown, VA. where Ricky received his training to become an Electrical Engineer and Lighthouse technician for the USCG. Our First assignment was at the Coast Guard Base in New Orleans, LA (NOLA). We were there for 5 1/2 years, and lived in Slidell, LA. During that time we also had our daughter, Krystle Victoria, born at Tulane Hospital on Thursday, 11 December 1986 at 6:10 am. Krystle just had her first child (my first granddaughter, and Krystle's only child due to complications, a little girl, Calliope Ruby Kennedy) born 24 November 2019. In May of 1992, we moved down to Port Sulphur, LA where Ricky took his next assignment, ANT Team Venice. Here he became a lighthouse tech, as well as an electrician's mate second class. We had our second child, Amber Lynn, born at Tulane Hospital (19 minutes after I entered the hospital) on Wednesday, 19 August 1992 at 1:49 pm. (I was the fastest ambulatory walk-in). Amber met & married Henry Powell, who passed away after 5 years of marriage. A week after Amber's birth, hurricane Andrew hit our city, evacuating us to Baton Rouge, LA where it did hit. We moved, 11 November 1992 to go to USCG Station San Diego, CA. We lived in San Diego for 4 years (2 assignments: 1 land and 1 sea unit), and then moved back to Buras, LA (USCG ANT Venice) for 20 months. We would have our first and only Son, Ricky Wayne Davidson, Jr., who would also be our last child. My husband was attacked whil...Expand for more
