SINCE TCN:
I left Sterling Christian in 1997 to become the Young Adult Librarian at the Sterling Public Library. I felt the Lord had closed one door and had opened another.  In 1996 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Following a lumpectomy I had chemo and radiation, and today I am a cancer survivor.  Praise the Lord for his faithfulness. I am the grandmother of 4 wonderful grandchildren.  Cory and Lori have Dalen (8) and Clair (5) and Shannon and Anna have Sigourney (3) and Graham (1).  Life is good.

MEMORIES OF TCN:
Lots of memories...Mr. Parsons when he used that principal voice, Dr. Hatton turning off lights, even when Mary Payne was using the sweeper, the Resource Room white gerbil that you kids used colored markers to decorate his fur, Haun Porter and company hanging Nicky Straw from the basketball rim by his belt loops, ACE and Pudge, green and red pens, guys who had crushes on Polly Skates, basketball games at the Armory, trips to the state basketball tournament, Christmas programs, board games at lunch, English muffin pizzas, special chapels, prayer and pledges in the morning and a school family who cared for one another.  One special memory is the benefit breakfast done on Tom's behalf when he was receiving treatments for leukemia.
