As Alma and Mickey (now Rose) mellowed over the years, this other third of the Anthony Sisters just became feisty. After leaving Nova in 1974, I followed a boyfriend to Columbia, SC and landed at the University of South Carolina majoring in journalism. Boredom took over and without getting a degree, I took a job in 1981 working for a group of ophthalmologists

Through a much protested blind date, I met my future husband. One day during my lunch hour in 1983 I married Woody Freeman. Woody held a music theory degree and worked for the South Carolina Educational Network

I continued to work my way through the ranks at the Columbia Eye Clinic. I rose to supervisor and eventually became a doctor’s personal assistant

Due to extreme pressure and long hours, I began suffering grand mal seizures. As a young girl, I suffered seizures but they lay dormant for years. Advice from Woody to retire under disability fell on deaf ears. I loved my job too much. Finally, after having several embarrassing grand mal seizures at work within just a few months, I took retirement two years ago. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner

A few years earlier, Woody left his job to pursue his music. A home recording studio brings in much freelance work. For the past ten years he has been the keyboardist in a part time Beach/Top 40 band traveling the southeast

For health reasons, I began running upon retirement.
I began competing this year and discovered I’m addicted to the sport

My other love is correcting grammatical errors in the media. That comes from having an English-teacher mother. It has continuously irked me that SC ranks 49th in the country in education. Because Columbia’s only newspaper professes to be a teaching tool to our state schools, I have written several letters to the editor expressing my displeasure with its grammatical errors. And surprisingly, my snotty letters have always been published

I have countless chances to travel, but I enjoy my home life. I answer to no one to which Alma and Rose can attest. Today I am a little less shy, a little less gullible, and extremely happy

Jim Azar Tribute

I spent three years in Army Intelligence (I know, spare me the oxymoron jokes) as an interrogator which led me back to South Florida by 1980.

I wrote poetry and plays, one of which was produced at Miami’s first Festival of the Arts
in 1982. I earned a B.A. in English Literature from Florida Atlantic University. After graduation, I won a scholarship to do some grad work in Eng. Lit. at Exeter College at Oxford, England, and returned home for the birth of my second daughter. I married Cindy in 1983; her daughter Karon is 20 and our daughter Brittany is 12.

We moved to Salisbury, Maryland in 1988 to
start a trucking business with Cindy’s brothers
and I sold my stock in the company in 1990.
I became Vice President of Sales for Milliken & Michaels, Inc., the largest commercial collection agency in the world. I retired from
M&M in March of 1998 to resume my writing fulltime.

I contracted bladder cancer in 1997 (and beat it!) only to discover a second primary cancer in July of 1998 in my right lung. My friends know me as a fighter, and I intend to beat this nuisance too. I have one chapbook of Poetry
“Arrival: One or Only?” LaPress Publications: Hollywood, Florida 1983, and individual poems published in small anthologies and reviews.
After I recover from cancer surgery in mid-September,
1998, I plan to go back to writing, living and loving with a new vengence.

I do hope that Roger Davies can find a better recent photo of me – pursing my lips about to say “Roger, wait a second” is not
how I wish others to know my adult countenence
(Roger, I am laughing quite hard right now).
