From Carolyn :

My Family moved to Pensacola from Atlanta in the summer of 1956, just before my sophomore year at PHS. As a shy girl, I was very intimidated when I first set my feet inside the doors of that huge place! After PHS , I graduated from PJC in 1961.

In 1963, I married John Couch (PHS class of '57). We moved to the Eastern Shore of Maryland soon after.  During those years of cold and snow, I spent my days and years mothering Cathy Sue & John, Jr. Several years after John obtained his PhD, we were fortunate to return to Pensacola in 1971, where until John's retirement he continued his renowned national and  international career as a senior research scientist with USEPA at Sabine Island. 

We have two great kids. Cathy married Lon Brooks. They met in Pensacola, and  Lon is the best son-in-law in the world! They are an exceptional Family & great parents of our two sweet, talented, and beautiful Granddaughters. (Is Mema biased?)  

John, Jr. became an Auburn Tiger when he received his Masters in Fisheries. Since then, football season has not been dull in our Family. At least one of us has to be a winner, as we pull for Bama, GA TECH (ME), FSU,  & Auburn (JR) This year our Granddaughter adds U. of GA to the group. We love to watch that brutal sport!

My Mother is 91+, but my beloved Dad passed away in 1975. My Brother Hosh, (PHS class of '57), is still practicing medicine
in Mississippi (Radiology).

I obtained my Real Estate license in 1979--then my Broker's license--& will receive my 30 year pin from the Pensacola Association of Realtors this year. I have especially enjoyed working with people who did not think that they could ever own a home, and  that aspect of the business has been the most satisfying.

I still write poetry at times, and love to stroll the beach, experiencing the balmy air while looking for those special little sea shell treasures. As a Family, we have had fun living on the Gulf Coast .

I look forward to seeing everyone and am sad for those of our class and/or spouses  who did not survive to have the opportunity to participate.

From Donna:
It's a bit intimidating with all the beautiful and gifted people. How wonderful to read.  Thank you for the site and all the work that has been done. Having worked with my husband and his graduating class, I know what is involved. They did their 55th two years ago. Next time, wheelchairs with racing stripes!

I married a Naval Aviator and spent one tour in Hawaii with the Marine Corp. The rest was reserve time. Coming back to Tennessee to work while the husband finished his engineering degree. Moved to Vienna, Va. where he worked for the Navy department. Soon the call of flying was once again sending out its siren song. He went with Pan American World Airways, flying out of JFK, New York. At that time we moved back to Tennessee, this time to Gatlinburg to my mountains. Have been here since 1967. Designed and built 2 homes, this latest one (and last) a log home that has the National Park as my front yard. When the mists come in, the bears roam, turkeys gobble, deer graze and the fox and coyote bark, it is heaven. When Pan Am went belly up , Delta hired him and he flew out of Atlanta.
Stay at home Mom, 1 son, 1 daughter, both engineers. 
No degree, but years of taking courses in 4 states, will be starting classes again at time of reunion and have a grand graduating college too.
Love watercoloring, wool and silk rug hooking, polymer clay design, photography (the old fashioned kind of changing lens best) writing short stories, professional chef and floral design.
Charity / Volunteer work and starting up an online business.
Extensive travel around the world, motorcoached to see THIS country and trying cruises now.
4 grands, 2 in Atlanta, 2 in Austin, Texas. Travel frequently to both places to grandsit to allow parents down time.
Love cars, preferably fast, low ones.
Love my miniature schnauzer, Trudi
And the man I married 50 years ago this year.
HAS IT BEEN 50 YEARS, IT FLEW, DID IT NOT.

From Mary Anne:
  After graduation, I worked as secretary of my father's engineering firm; during the next two summers, I worked for my Grandfather performing Court of Records Real Estate research.  In September 1959, I entered the University of Florida, the university from which my paternal grandfather and father graduated.  In 1963, I graduated with a bachelor's in math, general sciences, and education and began working on a PhD in Educational Research with a minor in statistics.  
   I left grad school in December of 1964, arrived in Pensacola in debt, and began a search for job.  I was hired by the US Navy at the Naval Aerospace Medical Center as a programmer/systems analyst.  During the 4.5 years working at NAMC, I gained the equivalent of about 20 years experience developing software based systems for different application areas and on different computer systems.  I also taught in the Evening College at PJC for a couple of years.  
   In 1967, I met my husband, a research medical officer for NAMI, when he required statistical analysis of research data.  In 1969, I returned to UF to complete my course work for my PhD with a change in minor to Computer Science.  I obtained my master's in Spring 1971 and married D. Bryant Cramer in August 1971.  We moved to Evanston, IL, where Bryant began a PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University.  
  Our oldest two sons were born in Evanston Hospital:  William Bryant on August 11, 1975, and Charles Ashton on September 11, 1976.
   While in Evanston, I worked for Nuclear Data Corporation as a manager/SW developer and for Systems Management Inc. as a manager/product development specialist.  I also provided software development to the Evanston Hospital biomedical lab that my husband started.
   We left Chicago the day in December 1976 on which the first Mayor Daley was buried.  That was literally the end of an era in Chicago, but not the end of Chicago politics.  We moved to Houston, TX, where Bryant began a second year surgical residence at Baylor College of Medicine in Otolaryngology.  While in Houston, I was VP of SWE for a small California firm and then Manager of SWE for the Houston Division of another California firm. In 1978, before Bryant completed the ENT residency, NASA approached him with an offer to start a vestibular lab at NAMI in Pensacola.  
   During the next six years, our family lived in 2 or 3 cities at the same time.  For a period of time we had a home in Houston, a home in Pensacola, and an apartment in Washington, DC. In September 1980, Bryant was transferred to NASA HQ in Washington.  Our third son, Benjamin Lynn, was born in Houston on October 14, 1980.
  In July 1984, the family was reunited into one home in Columbia, MD, when I took a position with the National Security Agency in Ft. Meade, MD.  We moved to our current address in July 1986, where we have 2.5 acres of oak forest on a state highway.  I was hired at NSA to institutionalize software engineering, an ongoing elusive goal.  During my nearly 25 years at NSA I have held a variety of positions:  program manager for programmer productivity; chief of analytic computer environment, networking, and artificial intelligence research division; special assistant to deputy director for research and engineering with primary responsibility for TQM for the R&E organization; chief of systems development for signals analysis and target development branch within cryptanalysis group; chief of technical support division for exploitation office within cryptanalysis group; chief of corporate office of planning; chief of acquisition policy for senior acquisition executive; chief knowledge officer/chief office of knowledge and information management; lead strategist for counterterrorism SIGINT development; and currently customer account manager for information operations, as NSA prepares to become an integral part of the new Cyber Command.
  August 1998, I established CareXcel Enterprises, LLC, in order to begin development of the "I excel because I care!" series of personal development books.  My activities were interrupted by my husband's heart attack and bypass surgery in Fall 1998 and by the accident which caused my son, Charles, to suffer a traumatic brain injury which put him in a coma for several months in 1999.  I took nearly a year off from my NSA career in order to help Charles with his rehabilitation.  Fortunately, he has regained between 80-90% of his physical, mental, and emotional capability.  CareXcel was put on hold until I retire in a year or so.  As part of CareXcel Enterprises, I plan to establish the CareXcel Institute, where "Life is an Olympic sport!"  The institute will develop rehabilitation services to help people that suffer brain injury no matter the cause.
  My father passed away in 1992, but I look forward to visiting my mother who turned 93 in March. 
   I especially look forward to visiting with all who come to our 50th Reunion and those who get together in the DC area later this summer.  
        Has it really been 50 years?
