Joshua has graduated from Tullahoma High School and is actively pursuing a degree in World of Warcraft Skills. He also, fortunately, manages to squeeze in some time to take classes at Motlow College.

Thaddeus is a Junior @ THS and it very excited about following in Joshua's footsteps as a WoW Master!

Zachary is a Freshman @ THS. He's currently on the wrestling team and seems to be really enjoying his time in high school. He also plays Tuba and Trombone for the THS Band, played football and is looking forward to the starting of the baseball season.

Matthew is going to West Middle School. Matthew has started to play the trombone for the West Middle School 6th grade band and is also wrestling.

Dad(Mike) is doing nothing but getting old, going to work and drinking an occasional beer!! I did make it to "the land down under" to see my Mom's family and visit with a good friend.
