Little did I know when I was scamming my way into football, basketball and wrestling competition at OPHS, as a photographer, that after I graduated it would send me on a journey which continues to amaze me.  I've seen some pretty incredible things and met some truly astonishing people.  And I get paid for it.  I work at The News and Observer in Raleigh, NC and am married to a wonderful lady who brings peace to my soul.  My son, Ben, 22, is the great joy of my life.  Who could have known it would be this
much fun.

Palatka, FL
Left OPHS and moved to Palatka to go to the community college, where I met my husband and I never left.  I do tech support for my local ISP.   We will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary in Sept.  My husband has been the Mayor of Palatka for the past 12 years.  Who would have guessed that I would grow up to be a "First Lady"?  He is running for Clerk of Court in the Sept. election.  In order to run for this new office, he had to resign as Mayor, so I won't be first lady for long.  I have 2 children.  My 19 year old son is in his first year of college.  He attends the same community college that I went to , but will be transferring to UF in Gainesville after he graduates.  My daughter is 12 and just finished her 6th year (half way there).  I would love to hear from classmates!

Left OPHS for University of South Florida.  Didn't stay long before I came home to marry another '73 alumnus, Terry Page...had 3 children.  He found greener pastures or a younger blonde, whichever you prefer.  Sadly, he died a few years later of leukemia. (See Memorial page).  Raised 3 kids.  Got remarried after 11 years, kissed a lot of frogs, found a prince.  Great finding this site...hope more and more discover it...Hello everyone!
