 NAOMI RUTH JONES -
I married shortly after WEHS & moved to New Orleans.
I have 2 beautiful daughters, Elizabeth ('62) & Annette ('64).
Since that time I have remarried & have been married for 18 years to a
wonderful husband, Jorge del Valle, a consultant in the plastics industry. Between us we have
8 grandchildren, all living in Atlanta. We enjoy traveling & have been
blessed to take a few trips to Europe. We have lived in Auburn for
the past 5 years. We are very involved
in our church.
Since '98 we have been caring for my mother, who had a stroke.
One month ago, at the age of 90, she went to her heavenly home
& we miss her very much. It seems an eternity since I was at
WEHS & it is refreshing to look back on some of the pictures &
remember the "good ole days"!
 JERRY JUNKINS -
I have 4 sons & 3 granddaughters. I was a B'ham
stay-at-home mom (having so dang many kids!) until '76. Got my MA from
U of Alabama & have been a Special Ed teacher for 21 yrs. I'm single again &
living in Southside on the outskirts of Gadsden. I bought a house in
Gatlinburg 2 yrs ago & get up there as often as possible. Looking
forward to retiring in 4 yrs. I love to travel! Remember having classes in the basement of WEHS? I
haven't kept in contact with anyone from school except Susan Clemmons.
 PHILLIP KELLEY -
(Phillip passed away in Jan '00. His wife, Ann
Black '61, sent this information about Phillip).
Phillip went to Auburn after WEHS & became an avid fan for the rest of his
life. In '64, he graduated with a business degree, moved to Montgomery &
started a business career in management with Sears. He encouraged me to
stay in school & get my RN, though we had to live separately with me in
B'ham. The Army got him in '66 & to become the best he could, he went to
OCS (our favorite movie was "An Officer and A Gentleman"). Phillip became a
company commander in Vietnam while I stayed home & had our first son.
According to him all he did was tour old temples, visit the Montagnards,
plan beach parties & sporting events for his men. He came home with a
Bronze Star. In '69, after the Army, we settled in Hueytown where he became
a management trainee for US Steel Mining Co. After 4 years we finally
settled down together & had 2 more sons. Phillip worked in the mines for 20
years & for part of that time, was their mine rescue trainer. Once, after
an explosion, he was the first in to start pulling people out. After
leaving the mines, he worked for a foundry for 3 years before finishing his
work career as Risk Manager for Jefferson Co Public Health Dept. Phillip
never outgrew Central Park or West End. He loved them both & the friends he
made there. Anyone that would listen was given detailed stories of the
escapades he was a part of there. Phillip loved sports & being out of
doors: ball (of any sort), hiking, camping, canoeing & bicycling. He was
an exciting person to be around (sometimes a little too exciting). He lived
his beliefs & tried to get those around him to live theirs: 1. Don't play
games with other peoples lives. 2. Help those weaker than you. 3. Pay your
dues. The one word I have heard repeatedly since Phillip's death is
"Hero". These tributes have come from the highly successful & the not so
fortunate.
 WAYNE KING -
After WEHS, went to Auburn, Delta Chi
Fraternity & majored in Adv Design. Married Jenny Sheffield & had 2
daughters, Kelli & Lori. Kelli has 2 boys & they are wonderful
grandchildren. Lori just finished her masters in education & may teach
or take over & run my State Farm Insurance Office. She has finished
her Staff Licenses. I have the perfect family & life & God has blessed
me along the way. I have so many of the old classmates insured & get
to see a lot of them often. Jenny has helped me run the business &
without her I would have been a beach bum or a hermit, fishing bass
tournaments or playing pro golf. She is the greatest wife. A lot
of the Munger Gang still hang together: Bates, Perrin, Ellis, Daniels,
Tipton, Timmons, Porter, Dan King (my older brother). We used to have
fishing contests & they named it King's Bowl. Contact me if you would
like to be in the next one!
 RALPH LYLES -
Married
Martha McCarter in '60, 41 yrs this fall. I graduated U of Alabama in '64. BS
Chemistry. Martha got a PhT (put husband through). Have 3 children, all
married, all graduated college, 5 grandchildren. I work for Miller &
Company, VP Southern Division. I am responsible for sales of raw materials to
the Steel & Foundry Industry in 26 states & Mexico. Yes, I travel a bit.
Go Lions!
 BILL LYON -
I
graduated from Auburn in '64, worked for Alabama Power for a couple of
years, then spent 12 years in the USAF as a pilot. I retired from the AF
Reserve as a Lt Col & live in the Chicago area. Hoping to hear from some
of you!
 SUE MANN -
After graduating, I went to Howard College & was in the first graduating
class under the new name of Samford U. During college I got more
interested in music & met Jon Blouin in the a cappella choir. We have
been married for 38 yrs & have 3 grown daughters (35, 31, 30). Our
youngest was Miss Mississippi in '94. We thought they would never get
married, but 1 did in '99 & another will this July. We have just
experienced our first grandchild. WOW! We live in Sumner, MS, where
Jon is pastor of the First Baptist Church. After 40 yrs in the music
ministry, he somehow got in the pastorate - God has quite a sense of humor.
I teach intellectually gifted kids at the local school (have taught for 31
yrs) & love doing that. However, I am greatly looking forward to
retirement in a couple of yrs (if the stock market doesn't eat all our
retirement before then). I've done a good bit of theatre & I still
sing a lot, but don't sound as good - guess I'm getting old.
My
best memories of WEHS was being secretary of the student body, being
so-o-o in love with Bailey Dickinson, sorority spend the night parties,
going to the zoo on graduation night to see who was there, & drinking
beer - oooh, bad boys!
 J. W. MARTIN -
I
attended U of Montevallo & graduated from the U of Alabama in '64. I
married Carol Nemeth (Ensley, '63) in '66 & have 2 wonderful children, John
(31) who lives in Tampa FL & Audrey (29) who lives nearby. We have 3
grandchildren plus another on the way. After school, I worked in B'ham
until '77, then moved to Lynchburg VA (loved the mountains) & in '84 moved
to Smiths Station, AL, across the river from Columbus, GA. I work
at Intermet Corp as Dir of Information Technology & recently completed 30
years with the company.
 CHARLIE MAYS -
After WEHS, I enlisted in the USAF & made a 30-year career of it, attaining
the rank of Chief Master Sgt (E-9). I met & married Susie Mehnert of
Champaign IL. We have 3 children, 2 daughters & a son (all exceptional) & 4
grandchildren: Katie, Hannah, Megan & Mariah. Our 2 daughters, Cindy &
Dinah live in Newark OH where we retired. My son, Sean
lives on a mountaintop in TN. Our family moved 27 times, 5 years in Hawaii, 4 in Alaska & 3 in Spain. The last 3 years in the
AF I traveled extensively as USAF Chief of the Evaluation & Certification
Office to East & West Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, England, Japan,
Korea, Greece, Turkey & many CONUS locales. I am now employed at Wyle
Laboratories, operators of the USAF Primary Standards Lab, as the chief of
Quality Assurance Office in Heath OH. Susie & I have been bitten by the
genealogy bug & have traced several of our lines to the early 1400 & 1500s.
I have learned more about history from our new undertaking than I ever
learned in school. Genealogy makes it personal. You can find me on our
sailboat “Quality Time” whenever the wind is up. A memorable moment I must
share. On my last evaluation swing through Europe I was auditing the AF Lab
in W Berlin. From Checkpoint Charlie, our team entered the eastern sector
to shop & have dinner. We noticed a large crowd milling about the main
square, but we passed without incident, only to find that we had walked
through the first demonstration for a democratic form of government in E
Berlin. A few months later the Berlin Wall came down.
I remember that we emptied the school
after making esters in Mr Baughan’s Chemistry class. Boy did they stink!
And once in Mr Evan’s electricity class, the door handle was wired to a
model “T” ignition coil to shock the office girls as they delivered the
morning report. And the dime glued to the floor to see who would try to
pick it up. In Physics, I once stood on 2 milk bottles with my hand on the
top of the Van de Graf generator & my hair stood on end & the fluorescent
lamp I held glowed. If my memory serves me correctly, Judy Crowe walked by
& I shocked her on the butt. Based on what I learned in
Chemistry, I once built a rocket (little did I know I
had built a stick of dynamite with a short fuse. The “Creosote Plant”
sawdust piles was our launch pad. We set-up the rocket & lit the fuse, but
it went out. I climbed back over the sawdust pile & re-lit the fuse,
causing a big explosion that blew me over. We found pieces of the “rocket”
a half mile away. I have fond
memories of Ms Davis & the chorus.
 MARTHA McCARTER -
Married
Ralph Lyles in '60, 41 yrs this fall. He graduated U of Alabama in '64. BS
Chemistry. I got a PhT (put husband through). Have 3 children, all
married, all graduated college, 5 grandchildren. Ralph works for Miller &
Company, VP Southern Division. He is responsible for sales of raw
materials to the Steel & Foundry Industry in 26 states & Mexico. He

SANDRA McCORD - I
was married to (Big) Jerry Thomas for 20 years & have 2 wonderful children.
I got my teaching degree in '80 & have been teaching middle school since.
I teach world history & reading at a semi-rural school & have a wonderful
team of teachers to work with. However, I hope to retire in about 3
years. 25 years is a long time. I have lived & raised my
children in Baton Rouge, LA, since '78. My son, Rick, his wife,
Bridgett, & my 3 precious grandchildren, Amanda (9), Ashley (7) & Mitchell
(3), live in Houma, LA, about an hour & a half away. It is wonderful
to have them so close. Rick is a radiologist & Bridgett is a
pathologist. She has retired early to be home with the children. I am
very proud of them. Jenny, my baby, has only been married 2 years.
She & her husband, Dave, lived in San Ramone CA, until about 6 months ago,
when they moved to New Orleans, only about an hour away. I was
delighted, of course. Jenny & I are best of friends. Both she & Dave
are CPAs & work for Stewart Enterprises in New Orleans. They have no
children yet, but have a very special dog, Cali. Obviously I am very proud
of them too. I have been blessed with wonderful children & many good
friends & colleagues. Since my parents died over 20 years ago, they
have been my family. I would love to hear from you all about
your families, careers, etc. I heard that the reunion was a great success.
My thoughts were with you all.
DIANE M cGINTY -
After graduation, I went to B'ham Southern for a while, got married, moved
to Hoover & had 2 children. I went back to school at UAB, divorced, &
eventually graduated in '92 from the U of Alabama. I was a slow learner! I
went to work for Chemical Waste Management in Emelle, AL, promoted & moved
to Memphis, then later to Houston. Eventually
went to work for the parent company, Waste Management, in Baton Rouge &
Lafayette, LA. Due to a "reduction in workforce", I left WM, then my
son & I designed & built a convenience store/deli on a shortcut to the
Silverstar casino in (would you believe?) Emelle AL. We owned &
operated it until Sept of '00, then gave up. It was killing us all.
Took an opening with Waste Management in Gulfport MS in Feb & just love it!
2 blocks from the beach, wonderful job & good people. I am the Safety
Manager for 7 sites over South Miss. with lots of travel, but I enjoy
it. My son still lives in Emelle, is engaged. My daughter lives
in Hoover, married & I have a granddaughter Amanda, who is Grandmother's
precious baby.
 TRACY METCLAF -
I retired
from BellSouth Corporation in '98 & moved from Atlanta to Mobile. I
have a part time consulting practice that provides financial management & marketing services to small/medium businesses. I have 3
children, 8 grandchildren. Last night, I had fried shrimp at a little
restaurant on Mobile Bay at the mouth of Dog River - the good life!
 TOMMY MILNER
-
I
joined the USAF & served in Hawaii during the Viet Nam war. I attended the
U of Hawaii & Montevallo. I have a daughter, Sharon, who is married with a
son, Caleb 6. I have worked in engineering with several companies around
B'ham & am currently with US Pipe. I met Judy Barnett at Metropolitan
Church of God when we were both single & hurting. We feel God gifted us
with each other & have been married now for 15 years. We are very involved
in ministry at our Church, where I am an elder. We love being with family
& friends, boating, fishing, hunting & something we call it junking. We get
up early on week-ends & prowl flea markets, antique shops & garage sales,
always looking for that neat & unusual find. We are looking forward to
retirement some time in the next few years!
 BRENDA MITCHELL -
It's great to hear from "old" friends & read what classmates have been doing
these last 4 decades. I earned an Elem. Ed. Degree from Howard College &
started teaching in Jefferson Co Schools. I met Bob Coats my senior year &
married him Jan 1, '66 (he never forgets our anniversary). I worked toward
my Master's at Samford & taught until our son Bobby was born in '68. Bob
worked for IBM (I've Been Moved) so we went to the Chicago area (Naperville)
in '69. Our daughter, Betsy, was born there. After 3 years we moved to the
Akron OH area (North Canton) & then to our present home in Marietta GA
27 years ago. I was a stay-at-home mom until our children went away to
college (Samford & Auburn). When Bob retired from IBM 10 years ago I
started a part time job at our local public library (retired in '99). Both
of our children are married & live in the B'ham area. We have 2
grandchildren so far. Bob loves to fly & is Atlanta One Squadron Commander
in the GA Civil Air Patrol. I haven't used my degrees in education
professionally for 34 years, but I have accumulated a number of titles which
are very important to me: Wife, Mom, Baptist Women's President, Church
Librarian, Homemaker, Sunday School Teacher, Soup Kitchen Volunteer, Girl
Scout Leader, Public Library clerk, Mother in Law & best of all, Maw Maw!
Now if any of you remember the chubby little girl with dimples at Jackson,
look for her at the reunion. She's a Maw Maw now & gives great hugs!
I remember that there were teachers who
made life long impressions. Some of the older teachers had "bat
wings" on their arms that would flap back & forth when they wrote on the
board. I said, "I'll never have arms like that." Never say
Never. There was Miss Praytor, who had a rubber tree plant in her
classroom. Some people said she thought it was her mother
reincarnated. Really? One semester I had one of the Coaches,
Short or Mitchell, for English (Shakespeare), but I love Shakespeare anyway.
Go figure! And finally, I can't forget the enthusiasm & dedication that Ms
Sophia Davis always had for her music programs & students. I loved
her! And by the way, speaking of love, Sue Mann said that she was so
in love with Bailey Dickinson in high school. Well, I had first dibs
on him in 2nd grade & I have a mushy letter to prove it!
 MARY MULLINS -
I have been married 38 yrs & have 4 sons, 7
grandchildren. Quit my job as Business Manager from WZZK Radio 2 yrs
ago to travel with my husband. Having a blast doing that. We
moved to Alabaster 5 months ago. Prior to that, we lived in the B'ham
area in Jefferson & Shelby counties.
 CHARLIE PATTERSON -
I married Ann Morris ('61) in '65 after we both finished Auburn.
After 35 years of service, I retired from GA Power Company in Feb'00 & we
presently live in the Atlanta area. Our daughter Dana & her family
live about 30 min from us & our son Alan & his wife live in Dublin, GA.
Ann enjoys tennis, while I stay active with running, swimming & biking.
We both enjoy our 5 year old granddaughter. We also are busy with church
& community commitments.
 JIM PORTER -
Worked in Lake Charles LA, Pittsburgh, Puerto Rico,
Thailand & now Hong Kong. I have 2 children, both in CA. Jamey is just
graduating from Berkeley in Mechanical Engineering & Allison just got
married & working in Santa Rosa. No grandchildren yet. I'm single again for
the past 8 years. My ex & I still get along. Looking forward to retirement
shortly & maybe moving back to the gulf coast. I still keep in contact with
Richard "Butch" Timmons who just spent 2 weeks with me in Hong Kong.
I occasionally see Damon Tompkins, Wayne & Dan King, although I don't get
back to B'ham often since my parents passed away. I
remember that Timmons gives me a hard time since I don't remember very much
about high school. It is a blur for me. Working in the cafeteria &
socializing with everyone coming through the line. The smells & explosions
in Mr. Baughan's Chemistry class. The drive in movie theaters &
Constantine's. Working on my old car.
 BILL
RAY -
After graduation, Jane Wise (class of '62) & I got
married in '61. It will be 40 years in Dec. I got a job selling cars
in B'ham shortly after graduation. In '72 I received a promotion &
transferred to NC. I eventually purchased my own car dealership in Raleigh
which I kept for 7 years until selling it & retiring to Wrightsville Beach
NC in '91. I now have ownership in 3 other car dealerships in Rockingham
NC. Our 2 sons Clint (37) & Todd(31) also own & operate 2 of these.
Jane & I have 5 grandchildren with one on the way.
 HOLLIS REID - Mary
Helen Snyder ('61) & I have been married for 42 years & live in Townley in
Walker County. We have 4 grown children - LaRee, Chuck, Lisa & Sonya. We
also have 4 grandchildren - Jeremy, whom we lost when he was 10 years old in
'89; Krista, who is attending the U of Alabama; Jeffery & Kaitlyn, who both
attend Curry School outside Jasper city limits. I retired in February '00
due to health reasons. Mary Helen works at Townley Jr. High in the office.
We nope to hear from some of our friends, if you still remember us. Please
email us!
 BARBARA
ROBBINS -
After WEHS, I attended U of Alabama & graduated in '64 with a BS in
Microbiology. I married in '62 & had 3 sons, one of which is now
married, & a granddaughter who is just like me. Divorced after 21 yrs,
am still free & loving it. I started my career at Sou Research Inst in
B’ham doing cancer research & was lucky to perform some of the tests on the
first medications to be used in combination to combat cancer. I spent
30 yrs at UAB in research & have worked on some amazing projects with some
very brilliant doctors. The last 2 yrs I worked at UAB on a team of
scientists & engineers who designed & tested space flight hardware for the
Protein Crystal Project at UAB for NASA. We grew crystals in space & I
helped train the astronauts for scientific missions & loaded the flight
hardware for the shuttle launch. I also coordinated visits & arranged
experiments from foreign scientists. NASA downsized scientific space
flights when they began the Int’l Space Station & my job was eliminated.
So I got my Master's in Agency Counseling & founded & now direct a family
counseling agency in B’ham called A Family Place, working with disadvantaged
children & families in distress. It is my passion & I love working
with the children who have been neglected & abused. If you are retired
& need something to do, I can always put you to work with these children.
They need love & attention.
I remember the Delta Phi Delta sorority "galloping breakfasts", the band bus
rides to football games & the sock-hops at Boutwell Auditorium after the
games. I remember walking the railroad tracks to play softball at
Woodward Park & Blessed Sacrament with Sara Jo Landman & Donna Tompkins &
playing on the boxcars. I remember watching Dianne & Carlton Cook
practice for hours with their dad on the tennis courts. My cousin,
Linda Barnes, lived next door to me & we were always into something.
She was prim & proper & I was the tomboy playing sports. I remember
Bobby Stewart, my first "boyfriend" at Lee, who moved to TX & became one of
the first astronauts to take an untethered walk in space. I have many fond
memories of school days at WEHS.
 JOAN SAMUEL - I married
Joe Roberson '61. Graduated from Samford with a BS degree in Business
Administration & work at the Hoover Public Library as a reference librarian.
We have a son, Timothy, a senior at U of Alabama. Joe & I did not know each
other at WEHS. We were introduced by his sister in the '70s when he was
transferred to B'ham from Austin TX with the Secret Service.
 BUTCH TIMMONS
- I
worked at Alabama PBS-TV in B’ham prior to moving to commercial TV in Albany
GA ('60-6'2). I also worked at the YMCA coaching a judo team in Albany.
Coach Harold Tinney taught Hornsby Morgan & myself enough stuff about judo
which allowed us to get YMCA scholarships to attend college for four years
in Houston TX (yes, Bama & Auburn missed the dynamic duo!) I married Peggy
Baumeister, John Carroll '60, in '62 & we moved to Houston. Graduated from
the U of Houston with a Bachelor of Science degree, Magnum Come Lately. I
do remember U of H beating Bama and Auburn a few times in football, sorry
about that. I tried law school for one year but could not take the lawyer
jokes & decided to let my son be the first attorney in the family. He
graduated from UT & S Texas College of Law. He & his wife practice law in
Dallas. They graced us with a beautiful granddaughter in ‘01, our one &
only. I spent most of my career involved in labor relations & was an
Ombudsman for the Houston ISD for the past 8 years. Peggy is an Exec Asst
to the Chief Human Resources Officer at MD Anderson Cancer Center. We stay
in touch with all of our friends & family living in AL & still love all you
WEHSchoolers! We still go bopping in PC at the Hangout - just ask Damon or
Pierre. I could tell a lot of stories about my
days at WEHS. Many of the x-students are alive & kicking so discretion is
the better part of valor. However, all those stories are TRUE about
ratting freshmen (John Tankersley), Elmwood Cemetery (Jack Porter), water
balloons on Cotton Avenue (Pierre), the Munger Ave Gang (Wayne King), the
dirty dozen & one (Johnny Mac Brown), Mickwees’ beer in the alley for
students (Hugh Morgan), clean fights in the hall (Hornsby Morgan), Harrison
Park Marines (Bill Bradshaw), holes in the locker room walls (Ralph Lyles),
bob-till-you-drop (Damon Tomkins), King’s Bowl Championship (Johnny
Tipton), MONO (Irene Burton & me), nude swimming at Woodard Park (Don
Bates), free food in the lunch line (Jim Porter), Auto Movie #1 (Wanda & the
rest of you know who you are), spin-the-bottle (Eugenia), Holiday Beach
water aerobics (Jean Kent), bats in assembly hall (Dan King), "What game am
I in?" (Billy Frame), "You mean we have a game?" (Bill Rinks), sorority
dance savior (Jean Burton), Bessemer Park dances & brawls (Harrison Park
Muscle Boys, you know who you are), "Don’t ever ride your motorcycle on
Princeton Ave." (Ronnie Stubbs), "Pleaseeeee, copy your notebook for me."
(Brent Evers), "When are you going to graduate?" (my wife). God bless all
the teachers & graduates of WEHS that have gone before us & this web site to
express our precious history together. Will see you at the next dance. Go
Lions!
 DON WALKER
- We have 3 children & 5 grandchildren. I joined the USAF after WEHS
& married Pat Ferguson. I retired from the USAF in '80. I am currently
the Director of Internal Auditing at MAX
Federal Credit Union. We enjoy traveling & going on cruises.
Our favorite past-time is spending time with our grandchildren. I remember
playing football for the WEHS Lions & finally won a starting
position at right guard in my senior year thanks to Coaches Short, Roy,
& Mitchell having confidence in me. Played alongside John Milner,
Tommy Scarborough, Phillip Kelley, Johnny Tipton, Jerry White, & Rusty
Fulbright. Kelley, White, Fulbright went to Central Park with me. Since
all the teachers
seated their students alphabetically, I always sat
near Rosemary Young, Virginia Wright, Billy Joe Ulmer, Ruth Waters, Jerry
White, Linda West, Joan Samuel, Susie Vines & Larry Vincent. We always
had a great time in class!
 RUTH WATERS -
It
surely doesn't seem like 41 yrs since I graduated from WEHS. A year after I
finished, I married Dexter Burdeshaw, Class of ‘54. That was the best
decision I ever made. We have been extremely happy for the last 40+ yrs.
We moved to Huntsville shortly after we married, had 2 sons & moved on to
Houston TX. Our 2 daughters were born in TX. Then we moved to Los Angeles,
back to Houston, then on to Dayton OH. In ‘78, we moved to Warner Robins GA
& in ‘87 to Macon GA where we have been ever since. I married a "rocket
scientist" so that accounts for all the moves. Our 4 children live in CO,
NC, ID & GA. We have 7++ grandchildren (a boy is on the way & a girl is
waiting to be adopted). After first being a "stay-at-home Mom", I finished
college at age 37 with a degree in nursing. While I don't currently
practice, I still retain my license. For the past 9 yrs, I have been
demonstrating spinning (on a spinning wheel) at State of GA historical sites
& parks, as well as schools. As a passionate knitter for 40 yrs, I design
sweaters, afghans & knitted items. As a spinner, I of course, use some of
my own yarn in my knitting.
 FRANCES WEBSTER -
Married
38 yrs to Royce Gable. 3 wonderful children & 3 wonderful
grandchildren. I was a stay-at-home mom until 11 yrs ago when I took a
job as
administrative assistant at
the AL School of Fine Arts Foundation in B’ham. Royce & I traveled
extensively on by motorcycle until involved in an accident & give it up.
We sold our home in Forestdale where we raised our family & moved to
Vestavia several yrs ago.
My husband Royce passed away
in Oct '05 after a 3 week bout with lung cancer. Getting used to living alone
after 43 years has been a real challenge. I am still working at the AL School
of Fine Arts & love my job, however, I am looking forward to retirement in the
near future. I now have 5 grandchildren, 4 boys & 1 beautiful granddaughter. I
remained in our home in Vestavia where I have been for 11 yrs. I have such fond
memories of living in West End & all the fun it was to be able to walk to the
grocery, the movie, the library, school and friend’s houses.
 NANCY WHITLOW -
I lived in Inverness, N
Shelby Co, most
of my adult life. I have 1 daughter, Buffi, who is 31 yrs old. I
was a stay at home mom & did a lot of volunteer work through the yrs.
I am very proud that I helped to get the first LifePac for the N Shelby Co
Fire Dept. I also worked for several yrs with the AL Symphony on the
decorator show houses. I have been divorced 9 yrs & in ‘95 bought a
home on the main channel of Logan Martin Lake. It is in the Alpine Bay
& Clear Creek area. I have totally remodeled the house & spend many
hours in my gardens. I have been involved in AL politics for many yrs
& have worked on several campaigns. I now work for the State of AL as
a voter registrar for Talladega Co. I have been very fortunate to do a
lot of traveling & this past Memorial Day had the great experience of riding
in “Rolling Thunder “, the Run to the Wall, in Washington DC along with over
150,000 other bikers.
I have to tell a good one on my sister. One night we had her
convertible out & went to Constantine's. She got a piece of lemon ice box
pie & did not eat it. I asked her what she was going to do with it & she
told me I would see. Well, we drove to Green Alley & she let someone have
it in the face. I wish I knew who it was. She never told me. Also, I
remember when some of us would sneak off to Panama City, have a great time
getting sunburned & bopping all Sunday afternoon at the hang out. Of course
we were spending the weekend with a very trusted classmate. What fun until
we got caught! |
