At 9:18am on February 4, 2009, Allison Shaffer Barnett said…: My mom still lives in the same house. When our dad got sick, I moved back in with them. He passed away in 2001, and Suzanne moved back in with my mom. Suzanne is a teacher at OLS Learning Center. James, my youngest brother works for the Homewood Police Department and his wife Norval works for the Vestavia Police Department. I got married in 2006
and we live in Crestwood. I don't really see too many people. Phil Sellers works at Children's. We are in the same building. Randy Grey also works here as does Paula Thompson. I found out recently that Paula Payne (1981) also works here. When Charlie is in town, Steve Langston and Bruce Hayden come over so we see them often. Please tell Cheryl to get in touch with me if you get the chance.

Talk to you later...
