teaching at CNHS for nine years and counting;
loving every minute of it. Just completed my
Master’s in Ed. (admin). I’ve been coaching
track & field, running a video club and ISCF
group. Also, I put out my third album this summer.
Look for it on iTunes (hopefully). I want
to say a big “Hello!” to my class and especially
to the Garnet & Gold musical members! Good
times y’all! Lovin’ life!”

were Allisonians but I know the girls from the
French House and the other Satellites were
there with me in spirit. Would love to hear
from anyone who remembers me.”
