After graduating East High I attended the University of Memphis and graduated from Auburn University. I was happily married for 30 years to Jewett H. Miller who became Executive Assistant to the Attorney General in Memphis. We had 4 children and I now have 8 grandchildren and maybe more coming!
I lost my husband in 1986. I've lived in my house for 32 years and was pleased to discover that 2 of my classmates, June York and Shirley Thompson, moved close by to become my neighbors. My high school friend, Linda Crump has become a best friend. I also keep up with Donna Kesler,
Rusty Massey and Arden McGee. I enjoyed teaching school for a short time and now spend my time with family and friends, gardening, travel, and church and volunteer work.

After graduating, I attended the University of Memphis. It was called Memphis State Teachers College at the time I was there. My education was interrupted by marriage and two sons. When my husband "to be" asked me to marry him and go to Hawaii for a year, well, there are priorities. He was taking an Army Medical Internship, so we married and sailed away to Hawaii.
When our sons entered college, I returned to my studies at the University
of Arizona in Tucson where I received my BA and Master Degrees in
Education. I started my teaching career in a rural community located in
Southeast Arizona, where we have lived since 1961. I taught fourth grade
for nine years. For the next nine years, I taught Remedial Reding and Math
in a computer lab to fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. I retired from
teaching in 1995.
In 1981, I earned my pilot's license and in 85 I got my Instrument Pilot
Rating. I have my own little airplane, a Piper Warrior, and I am a Captain
in the Civil Air Patrol. I am now the Public Affairs Officer for the
Arizona Wing. I keep a Wing Newsletter on the Web.
AOL has an Academic Assistance Center (AAC) which provides homework help
for kids. I am a teaching member of this service to help kids K-8 with
their homework or to help them find the information on the internet.
We have 5 grandchildren, ages 10-18. Grandchildren must be our link to
immortality and they are a joy.

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1955, and taught high school English for six years in California. In 1995 I retired as a senior real property agent for the County of San Diego. I have two grown kids and two grandchildren, ages 6 and 12. I now keep busy with folk dancing, volunteer teaching of conversational English for foreign students, and the World Affairs Council for which I serve on the Executive Board. I have travelled to 26 countries, staying in some of them for 3-5 weeks. Last year my gypsy days almost came to an end when I had a mysterious illness that seemed to be
undiagnosable. Finally my doctor discovered a spinal tumor, which was
sucessfully plucked out (six hours under the knife). I have had a virtually
complete recovery.

Three days after we graduated, I moved to Houston with my
family. I attended the University of Houston, and afterwards worked for
six years for Humble Oil & Refining Co. (now EXXON). In 1956 I married
Robert M. (Bob) Wilkins, and we had two girls, now 39 and 37. We now have
four grandchildren, ages l0, 8, 5 and 2. Bob and I have travelled all over
the world since this is our mutual favorite thing to do. He retired as
General Counsel for Prudential's Southwestern Home Office, and since then
we have been active in volunteer opportunities. I have been a member of
the Board of Houston Taping for the Blind for 15 years, and have had a
radio program for the blind reading the Houston Chronicle. I still keep up
with Linda Crump, Margaret Harrison and Shirley Wilkes. I have seen
Carolyn Massey and Arden McGee a few times since graduation, and would be
pleased to hear from any of you.

I was in the first graduating class, on the first basketball team, was the first class chaplain (and maybe the last after my prayer at graduation), and Paul and I nearly caused Ms Vollmer cardiac arrest in her first typing class (acutally, it was mostly Paul Posey's fault).
After extensive undergraduate work for ten years at Baylor University, I
picked up a degree in History, and a Mrs. named Ann from Corpus Christi,
TX; we were married in '61.
In '66 we moved from Seminary in Ft. Worth, TX, to Sheffield, AL, to First
Baptist Church where I convinced the membership that I was their Music,
Youth, and Educational Director on staff for ten years before they got
wise. They said that I could leave and get a master's degree in counseling
at UNA, but Ann had to stay because she sang, directed children's choirs,
and was the organist. (Ann also has a web page at http://www.hsv.tis.net/~shoals/annstdo.html) I faked FBC off by becoming a deacon at their church while I worked on the staff at Helen Keller Hospital for two years in alcohol and drug counseling, and at Riverbend Center for Mental Health for three years as a Psychotherapist. I was also on a local TV station for three years with a call-in program dealing with mental health issues... I called it the Mental Health Comedy Hour. Before getting that degree, I drove eighteen wheelers all over America and a bit of Canada; what an education that was. Semi-retired (pun intended). I still have some clients who call, and I even drive a tour bus on occasion taking "old folks" to points of interest and ammusment. Mark is 32, living in LA, CA, working for Leiber & Stoler Music Publishers. Wendy is 33, married to David and, when they are home from Birmingham, they let us play with Anna Joy, born Sept. '98.
Thanks, use-to-be Beverly, for calling and letting me know about "our page"
for East High folks.

I married Paul Posey after graduating from East High in March 1952. We had three children, two girls and one boy.
Divorced after twelve years. I moved to Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. Managed Dobbs houses for 20 years. Had my own restaurant for 2 years. I worked in the food business till 1975 at which time I had to have open heart surgery. I had
a mitro valve replacement. I went to Emory Univeristy in Atlanta to have
my surgery and stayed with my sister in Georgia till I was able to come
back home to Ft. Lauderdale.
In October of 1988 the artifical valve deteriated and I had to go thru another surgery. This time I went to the hospital in North Miami Beach. Everything was going fine until two weels ago when I had a slight heart attack and found that my arteries were clogged. I had to have angioplasty and had a stent inserted to my artery so it would stay open. I'm feeling much better and hope this is the last surgery for me.
I'm looking forward to another reunion. By the way I have 6 grand children ranging from age 23 to 13. Love them all very much and enjoy them all.
