Ayer, Tom |
After high school I went
to work in Evansville at Whirlpool until August of 1971. I then moved
to Orlando, FL where I lived until 1993. While in Orlando I married my
1st wife and we had a daughter, Janine, who is now 20 years old. After
11 years of marriage my wife died of leukemia. Three years later I
married my present wife Tracy and we now live in Charlotte, TN, about 40
miles west of Nashville. I've been a truck driver for the last 20
years, which has allowed me to see much of this country and meet many
interesting people. I like to play a little golf when I have time, but
my main hobby is riding and showing Tennessee Walking Horses, which is
very big in this area. Family, hobbies and job have all be important in
my life, but number one above all else is my Christian faith. Having
Christ in my life gives me forgiveness of my sin and a real sense of
purpose in life. |

the Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer; i.e. coming in every day and putting
out the paper. I still like my work, and I’m passionate about my

Retired from teaching at Daviess County High School after 28 years in

and returned there for the next 28 years whether 1) I didn’t get very
far in life or 2) I came full circle by returning home. But now I work
at the Council of State Governments as education policy lead and
reporter for State Government New magazine. I study and write about
K-12 education for legislators and their support staff as well as for
governors and their support staff in all fifty states and the US
territories. Like Jerry Garcia said in “Truckin” – what a
long strange trip its been…….. |

Well, as you can

most of my free time with both sets of grandchildren, have 2 boys and 1

of the past. |

and have been here for 25 years. I have a degree in Human Relations
from Brescia. I have two children, Keaton, 21 and McKenzie, 17. I am
married to Bob Gray and have been for six years. We live at Sorgho. I
love to work in my yard and have all kinds of flowers. As I get older I
seem to be turning into my mother, which is scary. My daughter is a

boys. |

enjoy collecting antiques, going to auctions and yard sales. I don’t
have a 9 to 5 job (self employed – work when I want to and shop when I

spoil. We will celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary on August 28,
2004 |

We have three grandchildren: Davis, 9, Kaylee, 6 and Vivian, 2. I still
work for Texas Gas (27 years) here in Owensboro and Joe has been with
Western Kentucky Energy (formerly Big Rivers Electric Co.) for 24
years. Just prior to turning 40, my closest friends from high school
and I started getting together for one week every summer, without
husbands or children, just reminiscing, talking sharing, and supporting
each other in our adult lives. I would venture a guess that “your” name
has come up sometime in the last 14 years…… Anyway, we highly recommend
these trips. They’re great for what “ails” ya! It’s nice to be back
with the Class of “69! |

Yater, Pam |
I
am a Part Owner in a business and have worked in Accounting for the past
25 years. I have lived in California for the past 23 years. I have 3
children – 2 girls and 1 boy. My children are grown and leave near St.
Paul, MN. We are currently living near the north gate of Yosemite
National Park in the Sierra Nevadas. We have purchased property in
North Carolina and plan to build our semi-retirement home in the next 2
years. My company name is Symmetric Software and we have designed
software for the Auctioneer Industry. Our website is auctionrpm.com.
My husband and I also own a business in home repairs and construction.
Since I left DCHS I went to college and was married and divorced. My
second husband died of a heart attack and I have been re-married for the
past 8 years. (Third times a charm!!!!!). My husband and I are both
Jehovah’s Witnesses and have been for the past 20+ years. Old age has
caught up with me (as it does us all), but I can’t complain. I hope to
attend in August but running two businesses may hold me back. Special
thoughts go out to Daris McCormick, Annie Ford and Debbie Hudson. You
were my best pals!!!!. Hope to see you soon. |
