I ran across this site in April, and was completely blown away. I'm thrilled to see the site, view the photos and read up on so many friends. Hats off to Greg Willis for putting this site together. It is wonderful to hear from so many folks I remember. I hope this message finds you all well and smiling most of the time.  continue reading »

A couple of years after graduating from ODU, I married Sean.  We moved to Naples, FL in 1990.  We worked for a few years and then had three girls in three and a half years.  We moved to Raleigh, NC in 1998, Seneca, SC in 2001, then back to good ol" VA in 2006.  We are in Richmond to stay!   continue reading »
