About Tony Spivey...



Tony Spivey was born first child of Windel and Sylvia Spivey in Soperton, Georgia on 4 February 1958. He is a graduate of Vidalia High School, in Vidalia, Georgia and an honors alumni of East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. His first career was as a United States Marine which he retired from as a Chief Warrant Officer-3 in January 1997.

He is now an 8th grade English and History teacher at H. J. MacDonald Middle School in New Bern, North Carolina where he and his wife, Yumiko, reside. Tony is also an adjunct professor of Mathematics at Carteret Community College in Morehead City, North Carolina. Their daughter, Brandy, currently serves with the United States Air Force in Hawaii.


P.S. It is with sadness, that I must announce that Tony passed away in April of 2004 of a massive heart attack. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him, but his words will live on. He was an exceptional poet, and a wonderful person!
