Jon Hester writes: “After 10 years in the bar business, Brenda and I opened a True Value Hardware store in June 2005. Come to the island and see us. We’re between Charleston and Hilton Head.”
Claude Allen writes: “Kim and I moved to Marysville, Ohio, in September 2005. She serves as president of the commercial division of Butler Animal Health Supply. I am now retired and overseeing our 17-acre horse farm here, as well as tending to family interests down in the east Tennessee hills. Both kids are through college, armed with degrees. Heather married Carter Hopkins on Labor Day 2007 in Dallas. J.P. is in Florida, West Palm area.”
Rocky Rockwell writes: “I can’t believe it has been over 35 years since attending Darlington! My wife, Gail, and I have two grandchildren. They are the children of our oldest son, Ben. He and his family live in Mobile, Ala., where he is an Episcopal priest at St. Paul’s Church. Our middle son, Hugh, is a flight attendant with Omni Air International, a charter airline based in Atlanta. Our youngest son, Stephen, is a senior at Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville. So, that means Gail and I are empty-nesters, still living in Waynesboro , Ga. I hated missing the 35th reunion of our class, but I won’t miss the 40th!”
