For 11 years my sister and I had an art business together and held art shows in my home and represented more than 30 local artists. For the past 16 years I have worked part time for the Peachtree Presbyterian Preschool as their bookkeeper and have enjoyed it thoroughly.

They especially enjoy exploring the many hiking trails and the quirky offerings of the North Georgia Mountains. Robert started his own business, Mountain Textiles, Inc., in 1979. “I supply janitorial cleaning and wiping materials to manufacturing, industrial, and construction concerns in the Southeast. Everybody needs rags! I have two daughters, a stepson, a stepdaughter, and two grandchildren. They call me Grandpa Bob. Music to my ears!” “My journey over the years is one I could never have anticipated making while a student at Lovett: living the majority of my life in France with a passionate, rewarding life-long career.” Laura (Krugman) Vincens recalls, “After graduating from Washington University in St. Louis, I taught in Atlanta for one year and then went to Paris to study French. I met my future husband, but he spoke little English, so communication was limited. I returned home and enrolled in a master’s program in secondary school
counseling at Georgia State University. Jean Pierre, my future husband, received a scholarship to study at the University of Southern California. I invited him to Atlanta for the holidays and we renewed our relationship, moved to Paris, and were married. The American School of Paris became a permanent fixture in my life. I have taught seventh grade language arts and social studied, initiated the first Middle School counseling program, and became the college counselor, a position I still hold today. We have two children, daughter Elise and son Philippe. Elise married an American, lives in Irvington, N.Y., and has three children. Philippe lives in Paris and works for Google.” From 1968 to to 1989, Bill Leonard, Jr. spent his career in banking and real estate.

In 1992, we started High Tech Ministries for people the Atlanta technology community. The ministry sponsors an annual prayer breakfast; a service initiative in partnership with inner-city ministries; a leadership training program; and weekly bible studies in technology companies throughout Atlanta. Sandy and I have been married 40 years and have two married children and six grandchildren. We are humbled that both of our children and their spouses have chosen to follow Christ and raise our grandchildren in the faith.”

Our three daughters—Kimberly, Shaune, and Megan—all attended Lovett, and our granddaughter, Brooke Arp Babbit, is a third grader in the Lower School. I have been involved with the Lovett Alumni Association since its nascent years. I conceived the idea, developed the business plan, and implemented the formation of the Alumni Campus Shop, which is still in operation today, and received the Aldredge Service Award. I began my real estate career with my family’s commercial company and retired in 2010. I since joined a residential company and was elected to the Atlanta Board of Realtors’ Multi-Million Dollar Sales Club my first year, and have been fortunate to reach this hallmark of achievement repeatedly. Daughter Kimberly has worked at CNN for 21 years; daughter Shaune is a sales associate for the Gagosian Gallery in New York City; and daughter Meggan has served as an assistant/ associate dean of Emory University’s College of Arts and Sciences and Oxford College of Emory University.
