"I moved to Tennessee the summer following our junior year. My parents divorced when I was two, and I lived with my Dad and Step Mom ever since. I had had no contact with my birth mother since I was about 8-9, so naturally I was very curious, so my Dad finally let me go down there for a visit. Well let me tell you Tennessee is a beautiful place, nothing like Huron, with hills and mountains and gorgeous views everywhere, but that's not all that made me stay."
"Living with my Mother was different from the home I grew up in as night is to day. I now realize that home wasn't as bad as I thought it was and the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Parents do lots of things out of love. After all, our parents were as new at parenting as I have been in raising two of my own!"
"Either way, living in Huron and in Tennessee has made me who I am today. I am happy with who I am and the life I have. I am married to Tommy Potter. We have been together since I was 19 - yep thats 29 years! We have 2 children together. Amanda is 25 , is married and is a nurse. Jordy is 21 and attending Carson Newman College. Both of my children have been a joy and a blessing to me."
"Tommy and I are self-employed, and have owned an Amusement Machine Business for about 25 years. It let me be able to be a "stay at home" mother. Since my children are now gone and the cost of medical insurance for self employed people is out of sight, I now am happily helping teach in the local Head Start program, and drive a school bus. I truly enjoy children and doing this work is as close to being a teacher as I want to be."
"I am very excited about the reunion and seeing everyone from the great class of '79. I have fond memories of Huron High School. Sadly my sisters, Yolanda Shahan Butler class of 1978 and Vickie Shahan class of 1979 have passed away. They are always just a thought away and missed dearly."
