Stephanie Arnold Fortenberry

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.

We love to travel -- to the mountains mostly. We hike trails and mountains.

I have taken some classes at MC, and am now working on a BA degree, but I must finish the core classes.

Ideal vacation: Love the Mountains - Smokey and the Blue Ridge.

Favorite Car: 1957 T-Bird (Yellow)

Advice to a 20-yr old: Keep God in your life and live each day to the fullest; get a good education; and, learn all you can.

Worst habit: Having to have everything just so.

Wish I could sing like: Bette Midler -- The Rose

Favorite singer: Pavarotti

Favorite song: Just Look at Us - Vince Gill

If I had a different job, I'd be: An Interior Designer

Favorite time of the day: In the evening after work, to sit on my swing with James, watch the birds, and talk with him.

I'm happiest when: We have the first fire and the Children are home for a visit.

Favorite Sport: NASCAR Races

Fondest memory of CHS: Home Economics - Cooking. I love to cook

Most interesting place I've been: Everyplace I visit has something interesting to me; it would be hard to name just one.

Idea of a fun weekend: Take the Mississippi Queen Riverboat from Vicksburg to New Orleans.
