From Joel Harris:
Here's a little info about my family & I.
I am a High School teacher, I teach 12th graders, American Government & Economics, I am also an assistant Football coach (Defensive backs & receivers) and I am the Head coach for Girls Track. I teach at Henry County High School in McDonough, Georgia. I am also Associate Pastor for a brand new church in our area called Crossroads Church of Henry County. It is a very contemporary & innovative Southern Baptist church.

My wife, Robin, is Branch Manager for Premier Bank in McDonough. She is also very inolved in school & church activities. We have been married now for 21 years.

My oldest son, Brian, is 19 years old and is a Freshman at West Georgia State University. He is planning to transfer to the University of Georgia next year and hopefully punt for the Georgia Bulldogs.

My other son, Tony, is 16 years old and a senior at Henry County High School. His football playing was cut short this year due to a knee injury & surgery. His plans are to attend the University of Georgia also next year.

That's a little about us, we are very busy, life is certainly zooming by and not a day goes by that I don't think about our lives back at Gulf High School. Especially as I teach & coach, I'll see kids that remind me of someone at Gulf and it takes me back.

Thanks, Joel Harris

Rich Edwards says:
Hey Everyone, sorry I missed the reunion, but I recently moved to
central Virginia and started a new business.
Just couldn't get away. I'm living in the historic town of Appomattox
(try to remember American history class - hint - civil war) with my wife Nan and son Weston.
I have an Allstate agency in nearby Lynchburg,
home of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Jerry Falwell.
I haven't sold my scuba gear as yet, but I gotta tell ya, skiing is a blast.
It's really beautiful here. Four real seasons, but none too extreme.

We have a 17 acre farm, 3 horses, a dog and a gerbel.
Nan is still teaching riding and Weston is into video games,computers and soccer.
Mom is still in New Port Richey, so I guess I'll be visiting in the near future.
I would love to hear from any of you either by e-mail or snail mail.
