I am so glad we have the opportunity to contact one another after 40 years. I spent most of my years in wonderful Brady, Texas and still have my home there. I now live outside Austin on 4 acres and love it. My husband , Fritz and I have a few pet goats and one very spoiled Miniature Schnauzer named Trey who does not know he is a d-o-g. I enjoyed 14 years at the bank in Brady and now enjoy at career with D R Horton Homes as a Quality Control/Compliance Auditor Advocate with the corporate office. It has allowed me to travel to other states as we have offices all over the US. It is a challenge, but I do look forward to retirement within the next 4 years. We plan to move back to Brady to be near family. I have 26 year old twin daughters, Gwen and Michelle,who became my own when I married their father when they were 10 years old. Michelle has given us two beautiful granddaughters.

My daughter, Kristi Graves Castillo, lives in Santa Anna and has 3 wonderful children and 3 that became hers when she married their father. There is only one boy in all of the grandchildren. My son, Kevin Graves, lives in Comanche with his beautiful wife, Sue. He became the father to two wonderful daughters when they married two years ago.

We are a happy family and love life. I enjoy playing Texas Hold 'Em in Las Vegas, Lake Charles, LA., Tunica Mississippi, and have even enjoyed Atlantic City. My husband doesn't gamble much, but when he does, he is very lucky. As he has always let me enjoy what I love, this year we are going camping and fishing and are setting up for deer hunting. I love it all.

Hope to see each of you at the reunion. Fill out your profiles. Beverly, Pam and others have worked so hard to put this together for all of us. I do enjoy keeping in touch with several classmates, but would like to hear from others. Send those e-mails.
