I have a great wife (married 39 years) two wonderful children and two precious grandchildren. Shannon is married with two children. She graduated from Maryville Collage and earned her masters and EDS from LMU. She is the Librarian for Seymour High School, in Sevier County. Scott is married, he graduated from ETSU with a degree in Mass Communications, he is currently working for the North American Mission Board and living in Alpharetta, Georgia. We have lived in Seymour,TN for the last 36 years. We are all healthy and happy.
In our retirement stage, we are enjoying babysitting our youngest grandson Alex, three days a week,
doing some traveling and enjoying the Smoky mountains. I would enjoy hearing from former classmates.

David Miller

David was killed just before graduating from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and getting married.

Ronald Atkins

Ronald was in a local nursing home when he died. My memory of Ronald was that he was a big guy and was also gentle. He liked to have a lot of fun and tell stories. One I faintly remember was about being in Coach Stalin's US History class and upset the coach. I am hoping that some of you can add stories in the comments to make up a better history of Ronald and others who are not with us.

Gary was married to Pat Watters, (class of '66) at the time of his death due to cancer.
