Hi all! Thanks to Lee Wright who sent Frank the link to this blog. This is such a wonderful idea!! Frank and I’ve been married for 26 years now. We’ve lived in Benton for 14 years. Our son, Nathan, graduated from Arkansas Tech a year ago and is trying to go to Japan soon to teach history and English. Faith, our daughter, is a sophomore at Fayetteville majoring in kinesiology. She’s hoping to eventually get into pharmacy school. She’s playing the trumpet in the Razorback Marching Band. We’ve throughly enjoyed going to the Razorback games and watching her out on the field.
Frank’s still working for Avaya as a senior tech. He, Ray Baily and Bill Hudson are the techs responsible for installation and maintinence of Avaya phone switches for three-fourths of Arkansas. (I think they just drive around all day in their little Avaya vans and drink coffee but, don’t let them know I said that.) 
I took full advantage of the leave program that was offered by AT&T in about 1990 and went back to college at UCA. Finished with a master’s degree in physical therapy in ‘93. I’ve worked at Saline Memorial Hospital for the past 9 years. I’m now director of rehabilitation at the hospital. Occasionally, I see X-teletypers at the hospital or WalMarts. Lisa Cingaloni, Frank Cingaloni’s daughter, is one of the physical therapist that works in the rehab department. I tried to give her this blog’s link today but, she said her daddy didn’t have a computer.
Good to see so many old friends on here.
Take care,
Tooter
Iris,
Wow! What awesome news. When you were loaned out to White River Medical Center and administering physical therapy to my mother all those years ago, I knew you were good. So happy about your moving up in the ranks–you deserve it. Also, congratulations on the successes of your children. Would love to see you the next time we are in Arkansas.

Jannette,
Thanks, for your kind words. Of all the people that I thought I might run into at White River, I’ve gotta admit, it wasn’t y’all.
Sure was a pleasant surprise though. That’s been about 4 or 5 years ago? Sorry to hear about your mom. I remember her well. Do get in touch when you come back to Arkansas. Would love to see you.

Iris,
It was a delightful surprise for me, and Mother really liked you. It was longer than you think. Mother died in January 2001, so it had to be a while before that. Doesn’t time fly when you are busy….

Hi you two!
Glad to have this wonderful blog, although someone had to tell me what is a blog. I’m so excited to hear from everyone. I still laugh about Frank telling you, “Look at that Roy Williams, he’s done picked up a hooker.” That was when I played Dolly and he walked to the front of the room. What a good disguise,Huh! We had so much fun! Frank sounds like he has a policemans job, minus the doughnuts. And you, a Masters degree, thats wonderful. I do a form of therapy, I teach Senior Aerobics. They are great!
Okay, I’ll catch you later, Diane
