After I finished high
school, I attended Northeast for 2 years and then transferred to Mississippi State
University where I got a degree in Business Statistics and Data Processing (the new title
would be Information Systems Management). While there I met my husband Vince (who is
from Iuka). He was rooming with our own Terry Hamm. After college, I returned
to Corinth for a year while Vince finished college. He joined the Army as an officer
and we went overseas. We were stationed in Europe for 10 years and then came out
here to Fort Huachuca, AZ for 2 tours. While here, Vince spent most of his time
deployed in support of Operation Desert Storm. He returned (briefly) and then went
back overseas. We toured Europe while there (when he wasn't deployed somewhere
else....I should have paid better attention in Mrs. Steven's geography class). Got
to see Paris and Rome and Venice and Pompeii and London and Switzerland and Spain
and took up snow skiing until I blew out my knee. We are now back at
Fort Huachuca and have 4 years left to retire. We just built a new house. I have
been working for the government (yes....a Civil Servant) in Personnel for the past 12
years. I staff the Corps of Engineers in Seattle and Walla Walla,
Washington. Recently was promoted to a GS-12 and that is about it. We don't
have any kids unless you count Fat Cat (who's 17 and MAX who is a 4 year old Boxer).
Vince and I have been married for 15 years (boy time flies). I won't be able to get
home for the reunion. I was just there when my mom had to have surgery. Would
love to see you guys!!! Hey if you are ever out here, look me up. I'm usually
the only Speece in the phone book!!
