Boyd Bailey Boyd Bailey, M.Ac., L.Ac., Dipl.Ac. (NCCAOM) received his Master of Acupuncture from the Northwest Institute of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NIAOM) in Seattle, WA., where he then began both a successful private practice and an integrated practice with naturopathic physician (ND) and licensed massage therapist (LMT). He was a teaching assistant in both Chinese and Japanese acupuncture classes at NIAOM. He is currently licensed by the state of North Carolina and board certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncturists (NCCAOM).
Additional training includes postgraduate studies in Chinese herbal medicine and various Japanese acupuncture protocols, as well as certification from Tokyo, Japan in Toyohari meridian therapy. Toyohari meridian therapy is a highly refined system of acupuncture (initially developed by blind practitioners) which involves specialized palpative diagnoses and many non-insertive techniques using silver and gold needles. Since no needle insertion is required, this style of acupuncture is excellent for pediatric treatment and needle sensitive patients.

Tom Carlson It is amazing that it has been twenty years! I have spent the past twenty years living in seven different states and traveling through 30+ countries around the world . After the class of ’86 left, I spent two years rock-climbing and caving in a small school in TN before graduating from Cornell in 1990 with an as-of-yet-unused Mathematics degree. I spent five years working with troubled youth, first in CA in a children’s home and then for almost five years in a “Therapeutic Camping Program” in NC. This was a long-term, year-round program for delinquent boys. We built our own shelters, lived in them all year, went on thirty-day canoeing trips, and solved LOTS of problems, etc. That job continues to be one of the best and hardest experiences of my life. In 1996 I moved to Boston to pursue a graduate degree in Theology. During my time in graduate in school I traveled around the world for eight months studying other cultures and religions in the Middle East, Southern and South Eastern Asia. I finished my Masters in ’99 and stayed in Boston doing college ministry and running a high-school tutoring business when I met Stephanie, my future wife who grew up as an American in Hong Kong and shared my interest in living overseas. She was in Boston for her Masters when we fell in love. We got married and moved to Minnesota where I began a web-based graphic design company which grew to five employees in three years while Steph worked in development in the non-profit world. All the while we were interviewing for jobs in the Middle East and finally found a good fit last year. This January we moved to the Persian Gulf region and I am currently working as a Business Development Director for an American Engineering firm. We love living in this part of the world and hope to stay for some time yet to come. But unfortunately because we are here, we cannot come to the reunion this summer. Still, I would love to hear from any of you all still out there. Email me and let me know what’s going on in your life! | Back to Top |

DRee Church Krohn DRee married Todd Krohn on New Years Eve 1998. They have two sons: Jack (9) and Luke (7). In the summer of 1999, after having worked the previous four years in some of the top salons and spas in Atlanta, DRee returned to Athens and opened DRee and Co. as a hair studio located at 497 Prince Avenue. DRee carefully selected the best elements from all her experiences when planning her return to Athens and launch of her own business. After two years of being open solely as a hair studio, DRee noticed her hometown still was lacking a spa with the atmosphere of those found in Atlanta and other metropolitan areas. With that conclusion, her commitment to expanding the business began. After a complete renovation to the adjacent space (built in 1901), DRee & Co. began offering Wellness Spa Services in June of 2002, thus making it the premiere Day Spa for Athens and the surrounding areas. In August 2003, after little more than a year of opening the Wellness Spa, DRee & Co. received the distinct honor of winning the Athens’ Banner-Herald’s 2003 Reader’s Poll for two categories- Best Hair Salon and Best Day Spa. DRee's company won again for Best Day Spa in 2004 and 2005. In January 2011, DRee moved her business to a new location on Chase Street in Athens, Georgia. In addition to running her own business, DRee is a wife, mom, multiple board member/volunteer, hairstylist to the 'stars,' and active Board Member of the Athens Tech Cosmetology Advisory Board. She spends half the year at Holland Park Baseball fields and loves every minute of it.

Jeff Farrell After graduation I took the “scenic” route through college finally finishing at Georgia State in Atlanta with a finance degree. Stacey Lundy, Barry Peavey, Ted Tarpley and Trey Seagraves remained my closest friends and roommates throughout my time in Atlanta and beyond. I took a job that as a mortgage loan officer for a company in Jacksonville, FL where I moved in March of 1995. I stayed in Jacksonville for about 8 months and was asked to transfer to an office in Savannah. It was a perfect move for me since my father had lived in Savannah for the last 20 years and I had many friends and other family there as well. I moved to Savannah in November of 95. I quickly got an offer from SunTrust Bank and went to work there in the commercial real estate group a few months after moving to Savannah. I met my future wife, Gina, who also worked at SunTrust in late 1996. We began dating in 1998, a very secret office romance that we kept quiet until we both came back from Cancun at the same time with suntans. Everyone put it together and our secret was out. I left the bank for a year to work for one of my clients but ended up not enjoying the travel as much as I thought I might. Gina and I were engaged in that year as well and it was hard to help plan a wedding from the road, so I got back into banking again. Gina and I were married in October of 2001. Stacey, Ted, Trey and Barry were, of course, all a big part of our wedding. Gina and I moved to Richmond Hill, a few minutes south of Savannah in 2001. In 2002, a few members of the banking group that I worked with came together and bought a small community bank and set up offices in Savannah. We’ve since opened our office in Richmond Hill where I live and I serve as the City President. Children aren’t in our plans right now so we spend a good bit of time traveling and with friends and family. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone and hearing a lot of good stories that I’m sure everyone has to tell.| Back to Top |

Sean Hudson After leaving CCHS, I attended Morehouse College in Atlanta. I graduated in 1990 with a Finance degree, moved to Chicago and spent 6 months of each year in NYC. While I enjoyed living in two cities (especially the free apartment in Manhattan), I didn’t love Wall Street Banking during a recession. At the end of my 2 year analyst program, I moved from cold and windy Chicago to freezing cold and always snowing Ann Arbor, MI for Business School. I graduated from the University of Michigan Graduate School of Business in 1994 with an MBA, moved to New Jersey, and transitioned from Banking into Marketing. I’ve worked across some fun and interesting brands that you may know and use like Johnson’s Baby toiletries and Band-Aid brand new product development. Then, I got really interested in Healthcare Strategy and Product Development, and began working in Diabetes, Cholesterol and for the last 8 years…HIV/AIDS. I currently lead the US HIV/AIDS business unit for Pfizer, Inc in New York. Suffice it to say that it’s a pretty big change going from adding chamomile to baby shampoo. Not to mention having my office nestled between the UN, the Israeli embassy, Time Square and Grand Central Station. Not many people can say that their job involves hanging out with virologists and people who know how to make crystal meth. I do love it, though. When in Business School, I met my wife Karen (the real marketer of the family, and the one who has had much cooler jobs – most recently with the NFL). Five Superbowls later, we have two boys, Julian (almost 3) and Clay (9 months). We live in Maplewood, NJ, just outside the city. Can’t wait to see and to catch up with everyone. Phew! 20 years. It should be a ball! | Back to Top |

Jay Langford I received my BFA with a major concentration in Graphic Design and a minor in History from Georgia State University while working a plethora of jobs full time (sleep was rare). I worked as a lead Veterinary Technician for three years during which I gained training from the Art Institute of Atlanta in Graphics and Digital Image Editing. From there I designed, wrote copy, and typeset ads for a free large format monthly publication called the Piedmont Review canvasing some of the most prestigious galleries, restaurants and bistros in Atlanta. I simply didn't like sitting in front of a box for 10 hours at a time so I became certified as a K-12 teacher. Recently got an opportunity to move to Jacksonville, Florida- where I currently work for Kelly Educational Staffing and Duval County Schools. I'll probably get a degree in Marketing here when I'm in my 40s--not too far away for all of us. I've still got that sense of humor that keeps me goin'! Go Dawgs! | Back to Top |

Melissa Marino After graduating from Agnes Scott College in 1989, I went to work for National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) and then Gannett who proceeded to move me to Boulder, Colorado. I hated it. So, after two years I returned to Athens and got into property management. I did that for about ten years. During that time, I became a competitive bodybuilder (yes, I have pictures to prove it). I worked my way up in the NPC to the national level of competition. My aversion to steroids kept me from being viable as a pro; so I am taking a hiatus from bodybuilding to decide just where I want to go with it. I also was a personal trainer on the side as well as doing some small investment property management as an independant contractor. Needless to say, I kept busy. In 1994, I met Mike van Der harten through mutual friends. After ten years of on again off again, we finally got married (I kept my maiden name) on October 23, 2003. Mike in an interior architect in Atlanta. After several abortive attempts at changing careers, I decided to go back to school. I am currently a graduate student in the School of Public and International Affairs. When I finish, I'll have a Masters in Public Administraiton in higher education. While I do this, since I am accustomed to being so busy, I am managing a Walgreens in Gainesville. Who knows what I'll do next! | Back to Top |

Martin Mauldin After graduating from CCHS, I headed off to Georgia Tech to study aerospace engineering. I graduated in 1990, and became engaged that same weekend to Susie Milner, listed below as an honorary class member. (After attending her sophomore and part of her junior years at CCHS, she graduated from Lowndes High School in Valdosta.) We then went to Penn State to pursue graduate degrees, and were married in Pennsylvania in 1993. In 1996, with an M.S. in aerospace engineering, I went to work in Connecticut for Pratt & Whitney, one of the "big three" manufacturers of jet engines. If you've ever flown on an airplane, there's a good chance our engines provided the thrust. I've been with P&W ever since, including a two-year assignment in Munich, Germany. The attached picture shows me at Oktoberfest in 2003. Mr. Wooten would be proud of how well Susie and I were able to assimilate into the local culture. I even climbed the Zugspitze, the highest peak in the German Alps. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Germany, but reluctantly returned to Connecticut in 2004. We then turned our attention to another exciting adventure, and on February 1, 2006, Alexander was born. And what a joy he is. Even better than climbing the Zugspitze. | Back to Top |

For Athens native and Georgia alumnus David Perno, it was the only head coaching job he ever wanted and in just his third season, he was honored as the 2004 National Coach of the Year by Baseball America. Perno, 38, guided Georgia to the College World Series and a third place finish, they captured a share of the Southeastern Conference title and earned a final national ranking of fourth. The Bulldogs went 45-23 in 2004, had a record 28 games televised and set Foley Field records for total attendance and per game average. Perno shared 2004 SEC Coach of the Year honors with Arkansas' Dave Van Horn. Also, Perno was named 2004 National Coach of the year by CollegeBaseball Insider.com.

Hal SchwartzAfter finishing at CCHS, I moved to Atlanta to go to Georgia Tech.  After finishing at Tech with a Bachelor's degree, it became clear that I needed more to get a job other than sales (some people love sales and are awesome at it; I suck at it and would truly rather clean toilets), so I went to Georgia State and got a Monster's degree in Accountancy.  Then I got a job at Con-Tek Valves in Tucker, GA.  Due to the parent company's inadequacy, I ended up getting laid off from there, but got another job in Tucker, GA, at Label Art.  Again due to the parent company's inadequacy (and I hear they're out of business now), I was laid off there.  Got a job at Ritz-Carlton Headquarters in Atlanta.  Loved it.  In 2003, Marriott (RC's parent company) decided RC Headquarters needed to be in Maryland near their headquarters, so I moved with them.  In 2009, I was laid off from there, but got another job back at Mother Marriott, where I work now, and just celebrated my 10 year anniversary (8 years Ritz-Carlton, 2 years Mother Marriott).  Through all this I was lucky enough to meet Jodi, who is a WONDERFUL wife, through a setup from one of my Tech friends.  Instead of growing apart, we started apart (and broke up because of it in the early '90s) and grew together.  Now we've been married for 13 years and have two children, Aaron (8) and Ian (2).  Jodi works at the Capitol for our senator (Ben Cardin) and is further proof that I'm surrounded by greatness.  Many of the floor statements in the congressional record from Senator Cardin were written by Jodi!  And our adventure continues....  We live in Gaithersburg, MD.  I LOVE Maryland, but I miss my friends in GA, so I end up shuttling back to the ATL area a few times a year to visit.  If, like toward the end of Laverne & Shirley, everyone I've ever known would move to Maryland, my life would be just about perfect.  It's the DC metro area, folks, and the monuments and Smithsonians are free, so come visit me!!  | Back to Top |

Sharyn Stewart Dickerson After graduating from CCHS, I attended UGA and in May 1990 I received my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.

On October 27, 1990, I married my best friend and soul mate, Joe Dickerson (an Athens native and 1981 Cedar Shoals graduate). We have three boys: Thomas (8 yrs.), William (5 yrs.) and James (3 yr.). After growing tired of the commute, in September of 1991 I was hired as the Recycling Coordinator for the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County, Georgia. Between February 1996 and June 1997, I served as Interim Solid Waste Director in charge of overseeing and managing solid waste and recycling services during the 1996 Summer Olympic Games held in Athens. I also had the unique opportunity to hire and work with fellow classmate and best friend Melissa Tweedell (now Cummings) for four years while with ACC. In August 1998, I earned a Master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Georgia. I have served as a consultant to a number of communities throughout the U.S. and have been a featured speaker for the Georgia Recycling Coalition, the National Recycling Coalition, the Solid Waste Association of North America, the International City/County Management Association, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Solid Waste. As a result of a very supportive community, Athens-Clarke County has received numerous state and national awards for our recycling and waste reduction program. I have also been individually recognized for my efforts being named Public Works Employee of the Year in 1998 and receiving the 2001 Conservation Medal from the National Daughter's of the American Revolution. In April 2005, after working for ACC for 13 years as the Assistant Solid Waste Director, I left to be a stay-at-home mom to my three young sons. At the same time as a means of keeping up to date with my industry, I established a private consulting business (Sharyn Dickerson & Associates, LLC) that provides technical assistance on solid waste and recycling services to municipalities, counties, and businesses. As time permits, I coordinate special events (eg: charity golf tournaments) and produce and maintain websites. I am looking forward to seeing everyone and doing some catch up in June at the reunion.

My current wife Yvette is an incredible woman that stole my heart. I am blessed to have Yvette, Xavier and Ashley here in the country with me. After high school graduation, I attended North Georgia Military College for a spell. College and Military were more than I could bear so I just joined the Army in August 1987 with the intent of staying a couple of years and coming back. That was 19 years ago. I am an E-8 Master Sergeant in the Army. I am the Texas State Judo Champion as well as a member of the Armed Forces Judo team. I also get to instruct hand to hand combat to the Army and Air Force here in Korea. I love it too. It is a blast!!! I have had the opportunity to see and experience so much. Thanks so much to everyone for the DVD's, camera, and notes. | Back to Top |

Jennifer Williams Smith After CCHS, I went to Presbyterian College for two years (a little too small for me!) After a year at UGA, I finished up at Georgia State studying photography. I had a one woman show at the Old Highland Bakery in Atlanta and have had pieces in several art shows around the southeast. I started working for Abbadabba's shoe stores in 1992. After running our Buckhead location for several years, I moved into the Director of Store operations position over all of our stores. In 2000 I took over the buying responsibilities and have been the buyer for our five metro Atlanta shoe stores since. Needless to say my closet is quite full! I met Brad in 2001 and we were married in September 2004. We just recently moved to Memphis, TN where he took over the executive chef spot at a local country club. I was able to keep my position with Abbadabba's due to the fabulous world of technology that we live in. I spend a good bit of time traveling to and from Atlanta as well as around the country for work, but I love it!

Yancey Wilson Richmond After graduating from UGA in 1991 with a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management, I moved to Charleston, SC. I simply fell in love with the smell of pluff mud (you either love it or hate it!) and the beauty that surrounds the Lowcountry and knew this was where I had to live! In 1998, I married my best friend, Jim Richmond, in the Summerall Chapel at the Citadel. Jim is a builder, mostly on Kiawah Island. After getting "burned out" of the hospitality industry, I became a graphic artist for many years. Later on, I got into color management (software development) up until the birth of Lucy, our youngest daughter. After Lucy came along, I decided to be a stay-at-home Mom. We have two little girls, Camille (now 6) and Lucy (almost 3). I love to entertain friends and family, sew, knit, volunteer at my children's schools, go out in our boat or just hang out at the beach. We live in beautiful Mount Pleasant, SC and we thank God for our blessings every day! | Back to Top |
