I absolutely love being a MiMi!! Both sons, Justin and Jordan, live in the same neighborhood and have a Collision Center in the suburbs of Atlanta. I am living in Vero Beach with my ex-husband. How life revolves...lol. I am a domestic engineer…in other words, not working…lol. While living in Atlanta for over two years, before moving back, I worked as an administrative assistant for a non-profit (ARC) with the developmentally disabled. The most humbling and rewarding job ever ever!!! I am looking to volunteer here in town for the ARC.” Della Murchison lives in Austin, Texas and will soon be relocating from Lake Travis to another area nearby. She has one son in college and has a sweet boyfriend. “I retired from work at the State of Texas Employees Retirement System and now have fun jobs helping people downsize and having a Craigslist business.

Caroline, 29, is a kindergarten teacher at RPDS. My son Ted, 25, is working for Catering by Liz and part-time at St. Mark’s Episcopal Day School helping prepare lunches. I’m still in the residential mortgage field as a sales assistant at BBVA Compass.

Both my sisters, Liz Arnold ’76 and Christina Cross ’71 are living in Maryland.
