| Alderman Blackburn | Susan | rwb3@rose.net | Color Guard 1979-1983 | After residing in the Clearwater, FL area all my life, Randy and I decided to move away from the rat race and find a more leisurely area to live and raise our family. We moved to Thomasville, GA in July '99. It has been refreshing to actually have more than 3-4 days of cold weather and to be able to appreciate the beauty of spring. We have 2 beautiful daughters, Lauren(5 1/2) and Kathryn (2). I have been a special education teacher for 14 years and am currently teaching at Lowndes County High School in Valdosta. I just finished listening to "Greatest Love" and memories, friendships, and events that have shaped my life came alive again. I hope all alumni are doing well and I look forward to hearing from you. |
