Then

Birthday:February 15, 1962 City:Meridian State/Prov.:MS Occupation:Medical Billing Specialist Marital Status:Single Again Last time in Meridian?:I RESIDE HERE!!!! Willing to help with fundraising?:I don't think I'd have the time. Any classmate you're curious about? :Lori (Jones) Roberts Interesting accomplishments?:Went back to college at 41 and graduated, despite the personal obstacles I had to face.

From Diane:Like all of you, I am in awe just thinking about the fact that it's been a whopping 30 years since we graduated! Over the years, I worked in the food service industry (in mgmt.) until I decided to go back to school. I earned an AS in Medical Billing & Coding several years ago. I am proof-positive that you are never too old to "hit the books" and learn new skills. However, I now work part-time from home ,because I also care for my only sister who is disabled. Believe me, taking care of someone incapacitated is a full-time committment.
