Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Ann Blue Rouse


I graduated in 1965 with my bachelor's from Harding University at Searcy, Ark. Following graduation, I taught at Harding University for five years. In 1968 I married my husband. We've been married 43 years in November. He is an engineer/professional artist. I gratuated with my master's in 1970 from Harding Univ.

After graduation, we moved to Columbia, MO. Where we lived for two years before moving to Oklahoma City. I taught there for several years and then sold my husband's art work for three years. In Oklahoma we had two wonderful daughters. Gena, who is now 33, is a Nurse Practioner at St. Jude's in Memphis. Erika, who is 32, is working on her post doctorate at Yale. We have two wonderful son-in-laws.

We Moved to North Carolina in 1984, my husband's home state, and I have been teaching there ever since.

In 2006 was diagnosed with breast cancer stage four. The Lord blessed my family and me greatly. Gene was a wonderful caretaker. I am now doing well. I am still working in a teacher position, but it's a desk/computer job writing programs for staff to carry out for the mentally disabled. I plan to retire in the very near future.

I enjoy hearing about everyone and would love to be there, but at the moment it doesn't seem possible. Please keep in touch!

Your Jonesboro classmate of 1961...

Sincerely,

Anne Blue Rouse
