Medical Transcriptionist

Hello everyone! While I won't be able to make the reunion, it is really nice to hear about how we've all changed through these profiles.After working for the US Government for 23 years, I took an early retirement and decided to work from home. I've been working as a Medical Transcriptionist for 3 years now. I live in Columbus, OH, with my sweetheart who just retired from the State. He's started his own business, so we're committed to this place for a few more years, but we hope to finally retire in New Mexico. Have fun everyone. Maybe I'll make it to #40! Send Tori a Message

I'm so glad to make this reunion with my wife, Shiro Wanjeru. Thanks so much to the reunion committee who pulled this together! The last reunion I attended was the 10th so it'll be great to catch up with everyone!I've been living in Nairobi for almost 5 years; have spent 24 years in Africa since high school in various countries--Niger, Malawi, Cameroon, Uganda, and now Kenya. It's been a rich experience, all of the different cultures, music, languages, habits, attitudes--and oh the culinary delights! I've learned a lot from the incredibly resilient people here. I'm all settled down in Nairobii with my wife and 3 dogs. I guess I'll retire here in a few years but I don't really think that far ahead. I get back to the USA about once a year, usually around Christmas, to see my parents (still hanging in there in Lubbock), my two sisters and brother, and a couple of high school friends from Lubbock, Bill Brown and Joe Bilbro, and their lovely families. Those friendships are unique and never fade. Send John a Message

Jeff Williams (also Class of '77) and I married in 1978. We have 2 daughters. Julie (24) married last year and lives in Plano. She and our son-in-law graduated from A&M. Our younger daughter, Jana (20), is at Texas State University. Jeff works in the insurance and investment industry. I am the Coordinator of Special Services for the College Station school district. We moved to College Station about 5 years ago. We learned at the reunion that many of you have children here at A&M. We've kind of become the Lubbock parents down here if your kids need anything (not bail money though!). Now that we have an empty nest we've been enjoying Jeff's new hobby - sailing. He has a charter boat skipper certificate and we have plans to spend our vacations and retirement chartering a sailboat in the Caribbean as often as possible.
