CLASS OF
1993
*****CLASS NEWS*****
Hello again
fellow classmates! I just wanted to
update my info. since it's been
about two years since I last posted.
I no longer teach for Chesapeake
Public Schools, I am a Firefighter/EMT
with Frederick County, Maryland, and
I have my own landscaping business
that I do on the side. I live in
Waynesboro, PA with my wife Katie of
10 years this August. Katie is still
teaching, and working for Frederick
as well. We are expecting our first
baby around August 19, and it looks,
from the ultrasounds, like it will
be a girl. Katie and I just had a
house built in December, 06, are
still getting settled in. It's
really nice up here in PA. We live
in the mountains, and see deer
almost daily. I am planning on
starting work on a second masters
degree this summer in
Clinical Psychology at Shippensburg
University. You can
reach me at
gentlecreek@comcast.net if you
want to get in touch. Good luck to
all,
Later, Kalab Edwards
Hay
all! Just want to chime in and let everyone
know what has been going on with my little
part of the world. I will start with my
boys, William is now 8 and Garrison is 3.
William is doing great with his school and
it looks like he will be starting to play
soccer this year. Garrison has on the other
hand been giving us some scares the past few
months. He was in the hospital from the 21st
of December to the 2nd of
January with a respitory virus which almost
took him from us. He came home and was sent
back two weeks later for another weeks stay
with the flu. Now he will be going in on
the 1st of May to have his
tonsils removed and tubes put into his ears
to help to counter some of the problems that
he has been having. But for now he is doing
great and acting just the way a three year
old should (causing trouble and getting into
everything). As for Colleen and I we are
both doing fine. Colleen has just finished
her schooling to become a Medical Assistant
and is just trying to find a job now. As
for me I am just hoping to not have to
deploy this winter again, just waiting out
the fact that my unit here will be phased
out sometime in the next year and I am
hoping to be able to move back east and get
a little closer to home at least for a
little while.

Congratulations to T.P. and Missy Guthrie MacBride on the birth of their second child. Baby Jackson was born on August 8, 2006 and Katie loves being his big sister.
Since graduating
from Deep Creek in ’93 I attended Livingstone College

I currently reside in Charlotte, NC working as a client
consultant with Bank of America. I am not married and
have no kids. I also have found time to learn how to
play the piano to the point that I play in a band named
the “Aphrojazziacs”. We are doing big things here in the
Queen City and hope anyone who can keep in touch….b/c it
is about to be BANANAS!! Hope all of my class mates

as a flight attendant with American Airlines. I met my husband, Greg
Prather on a flight and transferred to Miami, Florida. We currently live
just north of Ft. Lauderdale and have two children, Ethan 5 and Matt
4. I am on leave of absence to stay home with the boys. My
husband owns and operates Oceans Marine Dredging Inc., and has been
working hard to only fly with American for fun and enough to keep
his qualifications current. I have to say that my life definitely turned
out to be far more than I ever imagined especially when my mother and I were
pregnant at the same time. Ethan has an uncle 4 months older than he is.
