Birthday:  October 01
Occupation:  Independent Insurance
Adjuster
Marital Status:  Married
From Teri:

Been looking for Elvis, in all the wrong places.

Was in the indigent business. Not fun.
Drag raced for fun and profit. Not profitable.

Became an Insurance Property Catastrophe Adjuster.

Learned how to spell the above.

Traveled to 30+ states looking at damage from hail, wind tornadoes, wildfires, flood, hurricanes and trees.

Went to Mexico a few times.

Lived in a few hotels, ate in a lot of restaurants, saw some races, enjoyed a few concerts.

Endured a hurricane, no, 5.

Was not a commuter, soccer mom, stressed out or proud parent, PTA member or Band Booster; but gave $$ to them all.

Every time I come home to Lubbock, I enjoy the dust, the West Texas spirit, drive to the strip, and the Loop (30 minutes total travel time, including construction).

I tried coke, new coke, lime in the coke (you nut), diet coke; beer, lite beer, near beer and ultra; Charmin, new improved Charmin and Charmin Ultra.

Seems like original is always better.

Still on the lookout, for Elvis, that is.

From Terre:
I graduated from Tech. I worked in Public Relations for Texas Electric Service Company until I married my husband, Clement Dunn. We moved to Longview, Texas and I worked for the Texas Commission on the Arts in the Artist in Residence Program teaching theatre in three school districts. I stopped teaching with the birth of my first child. For the past 17 years I have pursued a career in volunteerism. I have served on the Board of Directors of the Texas Shakespeare Festival, President of the Longview Junior League, President of the Pine Tree ISD Education Foundation, Board President of the Longview Museum of Fine Arts ( I could go on with my volunteer activities, but you get the picture - if there is a lot of work and no pay, I am all over it.) I recently was elected to the Pine Tree ISD School Board. My son Charlie will be attending the University of Texas at Austin this Fall. He has been accepted into the School of Communication in advertising. My daughter, Mackenzie, will be in the ninth grade. (No, Mackenzie is not named for Mackenzie Junior High.) She has been bitten by the acting bug and won Best Actress in the UIL One Act Play contest. My husband is an attorney in Longview. We also have a wonderful nine year old golden retriever named Rex.

Joe Garcia

Occupation:  Surgeon
Marital Status:  Married
No. of Children:  1
From Joe:
I just ran across this website, and am sorry I have missed all of the reunions!
I am a general surgeon in Austin,and have been here since 1990. I went straight through with college, med school and residency after leaving Coronado. I always seem to find out about the reunions after the fact. We just moved into a new house and was looking at my senior yearbook as I was putting up books. It seems like a lifetime ago.
I am married with a 15 year old daughter. I really have lost touch with most of my high school friends
but the look back brings back memories.
So long

Life has been very good. I miss seeing my friends and look forward to talking with everyone from Stewart Elementary, Evans Junior High and Coronado High School. My life in the hub city was a great starting place for the future. We have come a long way and hopefully we will have a long journey ahead.

From Debbie:
Hello to everyone and a special THANK YOU to the reunion committee for all of your hard work! It has been so much fun visiting this site and reading all of the messages from fellow classmates.
I have spent most of the past 20 years working as an office manager for a Dermatology and OB/GYN practice in our small town, Greenville, TX. However, after a number of years in the medical field, I chose to make a change and have been employed for the past 7 years at our city's largest employer, L3 Integrated Systems working in the Software Engineering area.
I am hoping to be at the reunion, however, my husband, Rodney and I are anxiously awaiting the birth of our first granddaughter who is due to arrive on July 25th. It's hard to believe our daughter is already 25 years old and I am about to become a Grandparent. Life is good! I hope to see all of you soon, but if I am unable to be there, have a wonderful reunion!

No. of Children:  2
From Patrick:
Attended Texas Tech 1977-1981. Got married 2 months after I graduated to my wife Ann. It has been a great 26 years so far. We have two of the greatest kids - my son will be a senior at Texas Tech and my daughter is a sophomore at Texas A&M.

I have managed to live in various cities in Texas all but six months of my life (that long six months was spent in Edmond, Oklahoma) and don't ever plan on leaving.

Life is what you make it - so if you don't like it now then change it - you have the choice!
