ABOUT THE TEACHER

    I have been a teacher at Ford Elementary for seventeen years and a 
resident of Cobb County for the past nineteen years. I am a graduate of 
Georgia Southern University and obtained my teaching certificate from Brenau 
University. During my teaching career I have taught self-contained middle 
school special ed., fourth grade, and second grade. I have been at Ford since 
the second year it opened and loved every minute of my stay. My childhood was 
spent on a dairy farm in South Georgia. I have twins who just celebrated 
their twenty-eight birthday. My daughter Meredith is a nurse and is working in
Charleston, South Carolina and loving every minute of living close to the 
beach. Meredith's twin brother, Dustin, lives here in Marietta with his wife 
Jenny and together they manage a horse boarding ranch close to Kennesaw 
Mountain. I also have two stepsons and two daughters-in-law.  The lights of 
my life are my grandsons Joseph, age four and Jack, age two and their 
granddaddy Hugh, my husband.
