I have worked for a CPA firm, Star-Kist Tuna, Kelley-West Pontiac, and the Probation Board for the State of Mississippi.  Since July, 1983, I've been with International Paper.  And, for the past 16 1/2 years, I've worked in their accounting and financial dept.
   
  I re-married Feb. 15, 1980, to a very special person.  I had two sons, and he had a boy and a girl, and we have four.  In 1998, we celebrated the birth of our fourth grandchild.
