City:Greenville State/Prov.:NC Occupation:Medical school faculty Marital Status:Married No. of Children:2 Spouse/Significant Other:Bill Sperry Last Edited:2012-08-06 13:33:08

From Ann:I've been married to Bill for 27 years. We have 2 girls, 21 and 18. Sarah is a junior at MIT and wants to make video games. Becca is a senior in high school and wants to be a poet and be in the peace corps. Talk about polar opposites! We have been living in eastern North Carolina for almost 12 years since I took a position at the medical school at East Carolina University. I am still not used to the fact that they consider pork to be the only "real" barbecue! And I really miss tex-mex. But besides the food issues, it is a nice place to live.

From Olguita :Steve Urso ('78) and I have been married since 1979. These days most people call me "Olgui" which is a nickname that my family has always used (short for "Olguita" which, by the way, I still respond to!). We have 4 children. The oldest 3 have graduated from A&M and the youngest is a Senior and will graduate in December (2018). After years working in science research, Steve's dental office and tutoring with Bryan ISD, I have retired -- Yay! I enjoy exercising, reading, hunting, camping, geneology research and singing whenever I get a chance.

From Lori:

Charles and I will be celebrating our 25th anniversary this year, making it about 30 years together since high school! Continuing our Aggie tradition, our kids will both be at Texas A&M next year - Mallory as a senior in Education and Kurt as a freshman in Business. They haven't ever been in the same school together while we've lived in Texas, so this will be nice. We've moved around a little living in Arlington, TX (where both kids were born), then in Chandler, AZ before moving back to the Houston area in The Woodlands in 1998. I am heading back to the classroom in August, teaching kindergarten next year at our church weekday school. Not sure if we're making it to the reunion, but I have enjoyed reading the updates and seeing the photos from everyone!

City:Orange Beach State/Prov.:Alabama Occupation:Registered Nurse Marital Status:Married No. of Children:2 Spouse/Significant Other:Barry Brothers Last Edited:2012-08-06 13:42:00

From Alice:Howdy everyone! I'm really looking forward to the reunion and I've enjoyed reading about you all. Here's how my story goes. After high school, the last thing I wanted was more school, so I opted to start a family. About four years later, I was ready to join the work-force. I went to nursing school twice; first as an LVN, then later as an RN. I have two children from my first marriage. My son, Kurt Ramsey is 28 and a sergeant in the Marine Corp. He is currently attending TAMU in hope of getting a commission in the corp. His wife, Heather is a math instructor at TAMU and Blinn. My daughter, Jean Ramsey is 27 and single. She lives in Dallas and has a degree in Interior Design. Barry and I started dating again (we dated during our sophomore year at BHS). We married in 2001 and live along the Gulf Coast of Alabama. Some of the most beautiful sunsets are found here.
