Birthday:December 17, 1958 Occupation:Presbyterian Church (U.S.A) Minister Marital Status:Married No. of Children:1

From Catherine:After graduating from Coronado, I went off to UT Austin, where I finished a B.A. in French. (Thank you, Betty Wekerle for the glorious introduction to French at Coronado!) To many people's surprise, including my own, I then got myself over to Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, where I completed a Master of Divinity degree. Then, in 1986, I was ordained a Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) minister.

Not long after that, in 1988, I married the Rev. Dr. William K. Hedrick, also a Presbyterian minister. We were wed at the St. Charles Ave. Presbyterian Church in New Orleans, where I had been serving as associate pastor. Since then, I have served churches in Texas, Missouri, and New Mexico. In 2000, I finished a Doctor of Ministry in Homiletics...that's preaching, for those who may wonder!

The D.Min. actually got finished on the "Mommy Track" because, right as I was starting that program in 1993, we found out about a little baby in Taiwan who needed a family. That baby boy became our son, George Hedrick. We are sinfully proud of George, who has numerous gifts and also multiple disabilities. Through him, God has given us gifts that we didn't know to pray for!

My husband, Bill, has two older children, Mark and Joy, who have blessed us with three grandchildren--Lily, Ryan, and Daniel. It's loads of fun to be Gamma Catherine!

These days, I am full-time caregiver to Bill, who has multiple health challenges. We rejoice in the gift of each day that we have together, and in the abundance of surpising mercies that we have experienced in our years of marriage.

From Trevor:

For the past 19 years I have lived and worked in England. I run a company that provides marketing communication services to UK pharmaceutical companies and supplies medicines and drugs information to police forces and the National Health Service. Irony? what irony!

Graduated from Tech in 81 and in 1984, received a MBA from the American Graduate School of International Management in Phoenix. Then worked in Dallas until moving to London in 1988 to help set up the subsidiary of a US marketing services company. Thought I would leave England after two or three years but have not managed to get around to it yet.

I married a lovely English woman in 1995. We have a nine year old daughter and a four year old son who are great and in between aging us, keep us young.

Ok, this one is really me, with my wife Melanie and our children, India and Jackson

I'm looking forward to reacquainting myself with many of you, especially those who attended Stewart Elementary as well as CHS. The then picture was taken a few days after our graduation and the now picture is only a couple years old, although many of you have seen me on FB. I hope to hear about your journeys and plans ahead.
