Southern Belle

Dear Classmates,

I am sending this on behalf of Christine (McBride) Seblink. Chris has always been somewhat reticent to talk about herself. Yet, I can tell you how much she has enjoyed reading the blogs and e-mails. I have suggested to her that she should post a reply. She says, "I will" but has not to this point. So, I thought I would send along a hello and update on Chris.

We moved to Atlanta, Georgia back in 1984 in conjunction with a new job assignment I received with the then Hammermill Paper Company. As a sun worshiper, Chris has really enjoyed the South! Chris has worked for the Gwinnett County School District since moving to Georgia. Presently she is a Payroll Specialist in the HR department; a job she enjoys very much. The only problem with still living in Georgia is that grandma is too far away from her five grandchildren. And, the only problem working for the school district is that no vacations are allowed in August and September for all in the HR department. Thus, she has missed the opportunity to attend most of her class reunions. Once retirement comes, we will rectify both regrets.

Our oldest daughter Tammy lives in Weston Connecticut with her husband Rob and their two daughters Madison and Abigail. Madison is four years old and Abby will turn two in July. Our youngest daughter Stephanie lives in Butler, Pennsylvania with her husband Steve and their three children. Lillian is the oldest at ten years old, Bryce is seven and Evan is five. All are doing well, especially the grandchildren who absolutely love how grandma spoils them!

This will probably get me in some 'hot water' but I thought is was appropriate to send along a toast to the Class or '68 and a toast to turning 60 from Chris. Here is to all of you from a 'Southern Bell' with a mint julep!

All our best wishes,
Chris and Steve
