Guy Holton Wendy (Haynie) Jones Shawn Kelley Gina Baker Robinson Rick Marsh Commentshey,anybody rember me? I sure would like to hear from some of you guys. I now live in Dawsonville Ga Name: Sylvia Wray CommentsI just ran across the CHS Web Page, It is great. Although I did not graduate from CHS, I did attend until 1977. Really not sure if anyone remembers me I was not very popular in high school. I was very shy, I think I still am…however, not too many of my friends today would agree with that. I thought I would put a little about me and who I am today. I have a son, who was born with many disabilities; he is the love of my life. He lives here at home with me and will continue too as long as I have a breath in my body. I have been married two times…don’t plan on every doing it again. I love my life and the way it is now. I manage an apartment building and I am also an assistant to a CEO. I am very busy with my work and love it. Although, like an idiot I quit school in the 10th grade I have since returned to receive a degree in IT as well as one in Business and one in the law. I would love to go back and get my Bachelors in Psychology. Who would have every guess I would love school. Can’t seem to stay away from it. Hindsight 20/20. Oh well…nothing we can do about the past…just concentrate on the future. I am also an amateur photographer. I do it mainly for fun. Although I have sold a couple don’t let that fool you…I am still as amateur as it gets. I do enjoy restoring old photos. In my opinion, and we know what they say about opinions, photography is a way to preserve life and as I see it photographers love life. I live life to the fullest and enjoy as much as I can. I figure that out after my daughter passed away at age 13, Life is too short to assume there will be a tomorrow for any of us. After reading the memorials it makes me realize that more and more. It also makes one realize just how fragile life really is. I would love to thank everyone for the memorial up there for Mike Wray (my brother) it was a hard time for his friends and family. It means a lot to me to know he has not and will not be forgotten. Thank you again for the thoughtfulness. If anyone would like to see it I am going to list my very first web page. I have not updated it since I put it up there (it was a free web site I got with my last ISP. Ok, I know sometimes I talk way too much…so I guess I should stop now…I do love the CHS web site, it is great. Remember: “Life is what happens when we are busy making other plans. “ Also“ you will regret in twenty years, more of what you didn’t do then what you did do.” Name: Guy Holton CommentsWe missed our 25th.
