Update from Cindy Poston

As everyone else has said…”I can’t believe it’s been 20 years.” How did we get so old??It was so great to see those who were together in December. I hated the reason, but Jerry would have been happy to know that he brought us all together. This past summer a few of us were fortunate to have gotten together for an impromptu cookout at Chad’s house and Jerry joined us. There were several people that I hadn’t seen for years and of course, everyone looked great. I hope you enjoy the pictures. I think my favorite is of Jerry and BJ talking…. I know Stacey took some too and will hopefully bring them to the reunion (hint, hint).

After high school I attended RCC and Eastern Illinois University. Unfortunately, my parents didn’t think I was productive at Eastern and I came home and went to work. Eventually I graduated from Lake Land College with an associate’s degree.

In 1994 my daughter Hannah was born. She is a little taller than me already, so I make sure when we go places she wears flats and I wear heels! We live in Moweaqua and she is in 6th grade at Central A&M Middle School. Hannah plays basketball and was a JFL Cheerleader.

I went back to college in 2003 and graduated from Millikin University with a bachelor’s degree in Management and Organizational Leadership. It was quite an experience working full time, going to school full time and being a single parent! I was able to travel to places I never thought I’d see and I was so fortunate to have made some great friends. Now, I work at Caterpillar in Decatur and I absolutely love it.

Thank you, Julie, for putting this site together for us. It has been great to catch up with people and I enjoy all of the pictures! I hope to see everyone at the reunion!! Cindy can be reached at Poston_Cindy_M@cat.com
