A few things about her and her life - It has been a marvelous ride - being a Navy wife, a Corporate wife, a mother of four fantastic sons, a grandmother (and now a great grandmother); having a professional career, as a Certified Addiction Professional, that I love, having long time friends from school and other friends from all over the USA, with whom I stay in touch; and the fact the Skeeter and I have been married 48 years (this Dec) and we have been able to accept the challenges and rewards God has presented them. She and her husbnd Roy, reside in Vicksburg, MS.
