Cathy Weaver Lakes 6-14-12 :
Hi all - it's been along time since 1972!  I got married in 1982 we had 7 beautiful kids.  Got divorced in 2001 because he was abusive.  Moved to Texas in 2003.  God has blessed me with two wonderful grandsons. I am currently going to college to study psychology.  I want to help other women who are going through what I did, in order to show them they can get away and be safe - with Gods help!"

“After 31 years with the USAF as an Air Reserve Technician, I am now working for the US Navy as the Task Manager for C-130J aircraft.  I am responsible for the cost, quality, and schedule for peculiar repair parts for the USMC, USCG, and Kuwait Ministry of Defense aircraft.  I spent most of my USAF career in Colorado Springs and 4 years in Minneapolis, Minnesota but am glad to be home in Bloomington, Indiana (for now).  I look forward to retiring and finding full-time service for our God in some ministry capacity.”

“My husband and I have been married for 29 years, and we live in a condo in Beavercreek. We have 6 children and 14 grands. We are both medically retired at this point, but we stay busy. I enjoy sewing, (quilts, clothing, crafts, alterations), baking, decorating cakes and spending time with the grandchildren. I had cancer about 12 years ago, but survived it and am grateful to be here to praise the Lord. God has been very good to us over the years and has seen us through many trials. We hope to continue to glorify Him through it all.”

"I married my high school sweetheart, Ray Johnson, who also graduated in 1975 from DCHS.  We have three daughters, all married with children.  I play guitar and sing with my "jazz cowboy" husband (yes, Ray still plays his trumpet), in restaurants, nursing homes, and retirement communities.  Look for us at our website : www.debraymusic.com and see what we've been doing...  Always serving the Father above!

Class of 1976


David Curtis Pyle 1-13-12 :
“Still singing, directing choir and leading worship in song while we're between music ministers.  Stopped playing sports when my kids got old enough to play - became "Coach," for many of them, instead.  Also, officiated volleyball for high school and club teams in the D/FW area for about 5 years.  My wife, Tracy, and I have 5 adult children, from 27 down to 20 years of age, and 3 grandchildren - 7, 3 & 2.  Many of you will know my mother, Mrs. Pacheco Pyle, who taught @ DCS for several years.  She and Dad live nearby in Garland, and we see them often.  Of course, Paul still teaches @ DCS and my younger brother, Victor, lives near us, in Dallas.  That's 35 years, in a brief nutshell.”
