After graduating from FSU with degrees in MIS and Accounting I was recruited by Target Stores

I have been an executive with Target for 28 years. Jeff is celebrating 30 years with Target as a Remodel Specialist. We have two children, John and Linda. John graduated from UT this year. Linda is entering her senior year of high school and is looking at schools now. We are active in the Catholic Church, and enjoy traveling. My husband loves to cruise so we plan family cruises every year. Texas has a lot of great people with a southern hospitality. I love my life here and plan on retiring in Texas! I wish I could be at the 30 year reunion! We will be on a cruise in the eastern Caribbean!

From Rachel:Hi All,
I spent 10 years in the Army as a supply officer after graduating from West Point...loved it! I resigned to get married and have kids. When the kids were all in school, I decided to be a teacher...secondary math! I enjoyed it even if it was more difficult than anything I did in the Army. Things have changed once again...I have finished nursing school and am working as a nurse at West Florida Hospital.

Hope to meet all of you at the reunion!

Update: I have entered the grandma zone with babies Braxton and Kali...who knew I'd be a single GRANDMA!!

From Brenda:After graduation I worked for a group of anesthesiologists while I went to PJC for 2 years. In addition to my degree at PJC, I got my M.R.S. degree and married Tim Flota (78) in 1982. We played during our 20s enjoying camping, fishing and riding ATVs. Finally we had our one and only son in March 1990. He graduated from West Florida High School in 2008.

I worked in accounting/tax preparation in the late 80s. Fortunately I got a job in publishing and started working from home in 1990 when our son was only 7 months old. I did that for 17 years and then became a medical transcriptionist. I have continued working from home and I absolutely LOVE it.

My husband and I are "cruise-a-holics" and we take a cruise every year. The next is scheduled for Oct. We love to fish and have two boats. We have lived in Molino (actually Barrineau Park) for 32 years. That's about it. I'm on Facebook (Brenda Criswell Flota).

From Brian:

     After graduation, I headed to Liberty University where I received a BS in Music. I stayed in Lynchburg for 2 more years working for Dr. Jerry Falwell's television program. During that time I met my wife Terri. We married in May of 1985 and moved to Columbus, Ohio where we started a church with several other couples from college. For many years I served as Worship Arts & Pogramming Pastor. As the church has grown (now about 2000 members), my role has changed and 8 years ago I became Executive Pastor, overseeing ministries and staff. One of my favorite "jobs" is to mentor young adult men, many of whom have no relationship or struggle in their relationship with their fathers. I also travel several times per year leading mission/humanitarian trips to Central America. Terri works for Mt. Carmel Health Providers as a Referral Specialist (yeah, I don't know either!) we are now enjoying "empty nesting" (hard to believe we are that old!)
     We have two sons. Benjamin (27) lives in NYC and is a Young Adult Outreach Coordinator with the Diocese of New York. Brent (25) is in politics, has worked on Capital Hill and currently is a campaign manager for US House races in this year's election.
    My parents left P'cola about 8 years ago and moved to Louisville, KY where my brother lives. Closer to the grand kids!

I bounced around jobs for the next two years and then I started working at Whiting Field in 1986 and have been there since working as a avionics tech on those orange and white helicopters you see flying around Pensacola. Needless to say I am not the same 6' 3" 155 lb kid of 1979. Now I'm more like 6'3" 255 lbs. Man what years will do to a body. I live in the Jay area now I have 2 beautiful daughters. My oldest is 19 and goes to college in California, my yougest is 13 and attends Jay High. Also Lori the love of my life lives with us also.I love music and have been playing guitar and singing for over 25 yrs. Got to meet a lot of interesting people along the way, Johnny Cash, Jerry Reed, Ricky Lee Phelps, Hank Jr. etc. Now I devote my time to my family,playing and working. We live near Jay Florida and have 5 acres with a pond and creek. I have settled down quite a bit since my highschool days but I still have a crazy fun side to me that will not seem to go away. I started college but never finished. Actually I need only a few credits to graduate but can't find the time to get er done. I can't beleive how fast time has gone by. I can still remember some of the good times I had at Tate. I feels like it was just yesterday. I was out of town for both the 10th and 20th reunion so it will be nice to see everyone. You will recognize me I will be old fat, bald guy. LOL
