Our oldest granddaughter Maddy –

Collecting seashells along the ICW.

She graduated two years ago with a degree in Environmental Science.

Today she samples landfills –

And works on projects from the office on Environmental issues.

But going back years and years –

She played soccer – travel teams – H.S.

and in college at the University of Lynchburg.

Here she is in the black uniform number 13 –

about to take the ball away.

She played for four years –

Becoming a starter in her Sophomore year.

That year she was named third-team all-conference.

Having taken the ball away – she reverses and takes the ball to the goal.

Her junior year saw her named to the all-conference second team.

In her senior year, she was named captain of the team.

In the four years she played –

They won the conference-

and went to the NCAA tournament twice.

She was a leader both on and off the field.

To accomplish what she did and maintain a high-grade point average-

And to graduate and work in the Environmental Science field-

Is gratifying to her and us as grandparents.

MADISON MARGO MYERS – the day she graduated from the University Of Lynchburg.

Our oldest granddaughter is Maddy – now 23 – here she is riding her bike and her constant companion –

PIGGY – she went nowhere without PIGGY!

Today – she has graduated with an Environmental Science degree –

and is working for a LARGE ENVIRONMENT FIRM – COUNTRYWIDE –

As a Scientist – Geologist – and PIGGY – well somewhere he remains! LOL

Mary – my mother – who was almost 98 when she went to heaven – SHE WAS THE BOSS!

Mary – everyone knew her – honking their horns as she sat on her front porch-

Pulling over and parking and coming onto the porch and sitting and talking to Mary.

The friends of my sister – brothers and myself – would stop in and talk to her even though we had moved on years before.

MEMORIES OF MY MOTHER

My High School graduation picture in the yearbook – 1967.

Sherry and Papa – our first Christmas together.

Now almost 42 years married.

MEMORIES IN PICTURES!

Halloween – and yes – at one time in my life in the mid-70s -long hair – I rode a motorcycle!

Papa’s World – The joy of college and soccer – Maddy!

Our granddaughter – Maddy – this is her!

Never the selfish one – always the one who gives – both in life and college and on the pitch in soccer.

She works hard – her degree will be in Engineering Science – a 3.85 GPA.

Maddy is on the right with her teammates and roommate.

She is up early before sunrise to hike and run – when she visited us this last spring – she was on the beach for sunrise – capturing pictures and filming – her minor is Photography.

She runs – she hikes mountains – and most of all – a team player.

Maddy – not celebrating her own goal – but that of a teammate – that is Maddy!
This is her and her life.

She distributes the soccer ball from the left wing position – pinpoints passing and so fast in doing so.

She loves to score – but she loves to see others do the same.

Number 13 Maddy – celebrating teammate’s score.

Dedication for four years straight – a team award for going above the recommended physical fitness regimen for her team. The BELL AWARD was given to those players pictured here and for four straight years, Maddy has achieved that award from her coach.

Maddy was second from left – four years straight given this award from the coach and team captain her senior year.

The four years have gone by so fast – she has done this on her own since she was a sophomore in H.S.
