Have been in sales for over 20 years. Lived in Virginia Beach, VA and Northport, AL now back in Meridian. Everyone remembers the daughter that I had while in high school. She was killed in an automobile accident 2 days before her 25th birthday and the week before my son's (Jordan) 3rd birthday. He is a very sweet and respectful child, just like his late sister, and a straight A student who is entering the third grade at Poplar Springs Elementary School.

Then

Now

City:Indian Trail State/Prov.:NC Occupation:Sr. HR Manager Marital Status:Married No. of Children:2 Last time in Meridian?:Sept. 24, 2010 Interesting accomplishments?:Since high school, I attended the University of Southern Mississippi and graduated with a BS in Computer Science in 1984. I then moved to Charlotte, NC to pursue a career in computer programming. To my surprise, my real interest was in Human Resources. My career in HR began 22 years ago with Duke Power and continues with Mecklenburg County as a Sr. HR Manager for the Total Compensation Division within the Human Resources Department. For the most part, I really enjoy my job.

My family and I currently, live outside the Charlotte city limits in a small, but growing town, call Indian Trail. I try to come home at least once or twice a year, because I still consider Meridian “home”!

From Wanda:

I really enjoyed our 30th year class reunion.
