Name/E-Mail Address Comments
Gail (Homer) Berry I graduated from the Univ. of Florida in May, 2000 with a major in English and two minors in linguistics (long story). I married a wonderful computer hardware engineer in August 2000. (I always was attracted to geeks!) We now live in N. Carolina, where he designs memory chips for Infineon. We just had our second boy. (I can definitively state that involuntary natural childbirth is DREADFUL.) After the kids are older, I’d like to attend UNC Chapel Hill and get an advanced degree in Religion, or law, or both. I do get back to visit Fishers sometimes. Send me a note! (7/04)
