I live in St. Petersburg, Florida, and write about Africa for the federal government. I've been to Africa three times in the last five years. I like my work and have no plans to retire.
You can find me on Facebook listed as Lee Alexander Barnes.
Doug Cox's senior year crusade was to write "Lee Barnes is a dumbass" on the wall of every public restroom he encountered.
And I clobbered a washing machine with my dad's brand-new Plymouth a few weeks after getting my driver's license. The washing machine was out in the middle of a field off Franklin Boulevard at the time. Don't ask.
I am told that these glasses are now called "Birth Control Glasses" for obvious reasons.

No, I did not have the beard back then. Yes, I had hair. But a good-looking man can wear anything.

The ever-smiling Rett "Junius" Davis and his lovely bride. Rett and I have had a working relationship off and on for many years, but it wasn't until a couple of years ago that we realized we went to the same high school together for three years. I have never seen Rett without that outstanding grin.

Chuck "Super" Powers and Dorene Estrem. Dorene has not changed much, as you can see. Chuck is plotting to overthrow Alpharetta, Ga., under the impression that it is a communist regime.

Libby Broadwell and Doug "DC" Cox. Doug remains one of the most skilled artists I've ever met, and I'm not just saying that because he's my bud. Was Libby this elegant back in the day?

Here's Robert Allen and Mrs. Allen. Circa 2008 Bob looks remarkably like 1968 Bob. Keeping all your hair, I am told, is a sign of a small brain.

That's Chuck and Dorene again, with Janie Shepherd in the middle. Those glasses and the silver hair are definitely working for Janie.

That would be the lovely Lynanne Driver and her husband, the former Ricky Roberts. Rick, I sincerely apologize for all those locker room paddlings you endured on my behalf.

Here's Janet Vaughn Powers and Teresa Sewell Rice. Janet is not related to Chuck and Teresa is not related to Uncle Ben.

Debbie Lavasque, still looking exactly like the Debbie Lavasque you knew.
