Tell us about your husband: I actually met my current husband when he came to Ashtabula, Ohio for the funeral of my late husband, William D. Glover, Jr. He was a police officer murdered in the line of duty Nov. 17, 1997. The man who killed Billy now sits on Ohio's death row awaiting execution.
When did you get married? 1998
And your kids? I am the mother of three children. Philip is my oldest, born NOV. '87. He will be 20 in a few weeks. He is currently in college/university and is progressing towards obtaining a Bachelors of Commerce with honors He is a right, intelligent, athletic and outgoing individual with a zeal for life. My youngest son is Sean, almost 17 years old and in his junior year of high school. He has a heart of gold and is planning on returning to the states after graduation to join the US Army. My youngest is my daughter Amanda. She is 15 an dis in 10th grade. She has an amazing ability to articulate well beyond her years and is has an unbelievable talent for writing. All three children have been through an unspeakable trauma through the loss of their father. They were 10, 6, and 5 years of age when their father was killed and it has had traumatic effects on their lives. My proudest moment for all of my children is their ability to take all that life has hit them with and still remain honest, loving and respectful young adults Not to mention I think they are the most gorgeous kids alive (okay so I a biased!!) Pets are a true love in our home as well...four dogs ranging from an 8 in shi-poo mix, to a toy poodle, a scchnoodle and the love of my life, my mini-dauschund...Oscar. We also have a variety of parrots and enjoy them thoroughly.
Occupation: Home maker/paralegal/avian veterinary technician
Where have you lived since graduation? I returned to Virginia Beach,Chesapeake after graduation up until 1994 when my late husband and I moved to Ashtaula Ohio. I was a deputy sheriff/corporal for five years with both city departments. Upon moving to Ohio, I became a new reporter, doing primarily the crime beat, while my late husband was the states youngest chief of police for a small department in Roaming Shores Ohio. He eventually felt he'd be put out to pasture to early so he joined Ashtaula Police Department and 1 day shy of his 6 month ann. with the dept. he was murdered. I moved to Canada June of 1998.
What would you consider to be your greatest accomplishment? My greatest accomplishment I would have to say was being a published author of a poem that is law enforcement oriented, which has been used in many ceremonies and police graduations. The one that I am most proud of however, is being able to raise my children, despite the adversity, to e absolutely awesome, moral, upstanding and non-biased individuals.
If you could go back and do anything differently, what would it be? I think I would have pursued support from Philip's natural father which would have allowed him to have knowledge and accessibility to relatives that he deserves to know, with the exception of his father. It is truly what he deserved.
What is the one thing you know now that you wish you knew then? I wish I realized just how short life really can be and that you should live so that you have no regrets. Be yourself and don’t try to impress. If people really like you, they will like you for who you really are, not who you pretend to be.
What do you miss most about LCHS? Not making better friends and trusting the wrong guy...though he did bless me with my wonderful son...as well a gave him other siblings over the years.
What was the best part of LCHS? No parental supervision!!!
Why do you think we have such a unique bond? I would hope it is because in one way or another we have all experienced something unique, especially now that the school we attended is now closed.
What was your favorite class? Cosmetology
Favorite Teacher? Mrs. A.
Do you have a favorite memory? Not really... there were several good ones....

Tell us about your wife: I met my wife through a close friend. Our first date was at a softball game...romantic, I know! I did buy frozen yogurt afterwards. We got married in March of 1996. Allison is a wonderful wife (has to be to put up with me) and a Family Nurse Practitioner.
Any kids? We have a son, Adam. He is 10 years old and thankfully he got his Mother's brains. He loves soccer, baseball and video games. He is such a blessing.We also have a couple of miniature schnauzers...Koal and Sydney. They don't know that they are dogs...and we are telling.
Occupation: Mechanical Engineer
Where have you lived since graduation? I moved to the Shreveport, LA area (Barksdale AFB)in 1989, where my Dad retired. I went to college at LA Tech University and went to work for Pennzoil Products. I moved to the New Orleans area about 2 years ago where I work for Valero Energy. Throw in hobbies, getting married and having a kid...I have had plenty of excitement.
What would you consider to be your greatest accomplishment? Finishing college, settling down & getting married and having a wonderful child. I have also learned patience...now I know what my parents went through. Really, Adam is a joy and I am glad that he isn't nearly as bad as I was.
If you could go back and do anything differently, what would it be? I would change my views and actions with some situations that I handled very poorly.
What is the one thing you know now that you wish you knew then? I don't really know...I am pretty sure that I knew everything in high school and I know much less now. I wish I would have paid attention in class!
What do you miss most about LCHS? The dorms, the sports and the "family" atmosphere.
What was the best part of going to school in England? Being able to play soccer in Amsterdam and traveling for a year after graduation.
Why do you think we have such a unique bond? We were all forced together in a foreign country and we just made it happen! It was a great experience.
Favorite Class: Math/Chemistry - it is a toss-up.Favorite Teacher: Mr. Svec
Do you have a favorite memory? There are really too many to count. The SOS day at the cafeteria and the AYA...pretty silly, I know. I really enjoyed all of the guys that I played football and soccer with. I still talk about Room 35...I am surprised that someone didn't get killed in one of those meetings! I will never forget my roommate and great friend Tony Peterson (whether he knew it or not).
Anything else you want to share? I am glad that I was at LCHS and attribute some of my successes to the experiences from there.

Occupation: Community Affairs Specialist with Mutual of Omaha; Grants/Program Manage with the Mutual of Omaha Foundation
Why do you think we have such a unique bond? So many have already said what I feel -- we were away from our parents and outside of the country we knew as "home". We were forced together and lived as family -- we really were much more like a family (dysfunctional as it may have been) than we were classmates. I can't explain it -- but there are many from LCHS that I have a lifelong bond with.
Will you be attending the reunion? Yes! And, just like old times, I will be rooming with Kathy (Parker) GoodsonWhere are you living now? Logan, Iowa -- which is 35 northeast of Omaha, Nebraska

Tell us about your husband: His name is Mark Armstrong. After going through a very difficult divorce -- my friends introduced me to a guy who was 20 (I was 26 at the time). I laughed at the idea of dating someone who was 6 years younger than me…AND someone who couldn’t go to the bar with me. However, we dated anyway -- after a 
week together, he turned 21 (one hurdle crossed) -- and after dating/living together for 2 years, we got married in 1999.
week together, he turned 21 (one hurdle crossed) -- and after dating/living together for 2 years, we got married in 1999.When did you meet? 1997
And your kids? My kids -- they are my sweet little girls (sometimes!).
My oldest daughter, Payton Jeanae was born in December 1999. She's our little "sweetness" -- who's named after Walter Payton. She's nearly 8 years old and is extremely intelligent. She's also headstrong, independent and VERY bossy (probably gets that from mom!). We're convinced she's the one who will sneak out of the house through her bedroom window and steal the car in 8 years (or less)! Like every other girl her age, she is obsessed with Hannah Montana -- and dressed as her for Halloween.
Jordan was born August 2002. She is my sweet little baby. To continue our Chicago sports theme we started with Payton -- we named her after Michael Jordan. She is 5 years old -- and still at that age where she is my sweet, cuddly little girl. She's going to be the one that we will have to keep the boys away from -- she's our girly girl and LOVES to get all dressed up. She also loves it when people tell her she's cute. She's also our little singer. She‘s not half bad -- and already makes up her own songs (that, also, aren‘t half bad).
Occupation: Community Affairs Specialist with Mutual of Omaha; Grants/Program Manage with the Mutual of Omaha Foundation
Where have you lived since graduation? Well, I lived in Newbury and Thatcham near Greenham until 1991. I then moved to Shreveport, Louisiana for a little over a year. I got to reconnect with John and James Swanson there -- and ran into Vince McClure a couple times. After Shreveport, I moved to Omaha, Nebraska and never really left. I now live in Logan, Iowa -- which is a small town of about 1500 people located 35 miles Northeast of
Omaha.
What would you consider to be your greatest accomplishment? Greatest accomplishment...that's a tough one. Ask me tomorrow and I might have a different answer. But, for today I would say my greatest accomplishment (outside of my family) is that I have achieved success through hard work and determination -- because I could never find that "perfect" time to go to college.

But, for today I would say my greatest accomplishment (outside of my family) is that I have achieved success through hard work and determination -- because I could never find that "perfect" time to go to college.
Another accomplishment is that at 37, I am the lead singer of a pretty successful rock & roll cover band in Omaha, Nebraska. Check out the band's website: http://www.catch22omaha.com/
If you could go back and do anything differently, what would it be? Maybe not be so childish -- boy, I was a catty, gossipy girl! Other than that, I would probably have taken advantage of the beauty, culture and history that surrounded us!
What is the one thing you know now that you wish you knew then? I wish I would have applied myself more in school -- and maybe been a little less focused on the "social" aspect (don't get me wrong -- I LOVED the social aspect).

What do you miss most about LCHS? Living a carefree life -- where we just didn't realize the ills of the world. Going to school in a foreign country, feeling as if I had this extended family in the dorms. Having that amazing support network of friends around me whenever I needed them.
Now, let's talk about what I don't miss...white glove inspections, curfews, study hall -- and public showers!
What was the best part of attending school in England? It was just that -- attending in England. I have so many memories that only those who attended school near London could have -- like Theatre Appreciation...how amazing was it to go to London and see shows like Blues in the Night? Or traveling to Stratford-Upon-Avon to the Royal Shakespeare Academy -- where, of ALL things, we saw the musical version of “Carrie” (yes…Stephen King’s Carrie) starring LeRoy from the movie and TV show “Fame”. I'll also never forget the night we went to the Terry Wogan show and had the chance to meet Howard Jones (remember the song... "Whoa, whoa, whoa -- whoa, whoa, whoa -- things can only get better). As I handed him my show ticket to autograph, someone hit my arm and I shoved the ticket into his eye!!
And then I have all of those memories of The Rye, Suicide Hill, pink champagne, spirit week, musicals, sledding on cafeteria trays by the Jr. High, etc.
Why do you think we have such a unique bond? So many have already said what I feel -- we were away from our parents and outside of the country we knew as "home". We were forced together and lived as family -- we really were much more like a family (dysfunctional as it may have been) than we were classmates. I can't explain it -- but there are many from LCHS that I have a lifelong bond with.What was your favorite class? Drama
Favorite teacher? Mr. Wernette
Do you have a favorite memory?
I have so many favorite memories. Here's a few:
1. Skiing in Geilo, Norway with Linda Price and Kathy Parker's family (Remember my first experience on a Red Hill -- Kathy...where you had to hold my hands and talk me down!!!)
2. Evenings by the Rye
3. Senior Skip Day -- Chi Chis, Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park (who else can say that???)
4. Godspell, Carousel and Pirates of Penzance
5. Speech/Drama Festivals
6. The party after Graduation
7. Cramming for semester exams...in the crazy way Kathy and I did that!
But more importantly, I remember each and every person who attended school with me. Their faces may be fading from my memory -- and I may not be able to immediately recollect specific memories -- but we were in such a unique environment that I don't know that I'll ever forget anyone who shared that amazing experience we call LCHS along side me.
Anything else? I just want to say how excited I am for this reunion -- and give a HUGE thank you to Kris (Long) Blevins. We are making a great team -- and I can't wait to relax, hang out, reminisce and share a few adult beverages with my dear old LCHS friends.

Tell us about your significant other: I met my girlfriend, Amy, through a mutual friend at a 4th of July party last year.
Do you have any kids? No kids at the moment. Would like to have one at some point (with a spouse of course)
Occupation: Financial Services
Where have you lived since LCHS? Upstate NY near Syracuse and in Dallas since 1992.
What would you consider to be your greatest accomplishment? Graduating from the University of North Texas in 1994.
If you could go back and do anything differently, what would it be? Stay at LCHS for my senior year, no matter what it cost my parents! Moving my senior year was a horrible experience!
What is the one thing you know now that you wish you knew then? To realize that time is short and to make the most of the time you have with people because you might not see them again for another 20 years or more since we all went to opposite sides of the world since high school.
What do you miss most about LCHS? The uniqueness of our situation as teenagers. Living away from home in the 10th and 11th grade and going through those times with other people in the same situation no matter what their color or gender was is something I'll never forget.
What was the best part of attending LCHS? Living in a dorm and away from home during the week and meeting people from all parts of the world.
Why do you think we have such a unique bond? I think it's due to the fact that we are all "cold war generation" kids from all parts of the world having to live wherever our mothers and fathers were sent and then being sent to a high school in a foreign country with the majority of us living there either 5 or 7 days. It doesn't get much more unique than that!
What was your favorite class? History
Favorite Teacher? Ms. Parrott (HA)
Do you have a favorite memory? Here are a few...the bus rides to and from Greenham Common on Mondays and Fridays...the dominant track teams LCHS had during that time...hanging out at the AYA and in the dorm...junior prom in London.
Anything else you want to share? As life goes on and I tell people about my high school experience, people still have a hard time grasping what it must have been like to attend high school like we did. I regret not getting back over to High Wycombe to visit the school again before it closed!
