From Tammi-Jo (Nelson) Macomber

Hello to all my childhood friends,

I honestly can’t believe that 25 years has gone by, the memories are still so clear and can still make me smile. (I have many memories from Morton Avenue and SeDoMoCha Jr. High as well). Dover will always be my hometown and it will always draw me to it...
I moved to West Palm Beach, Florida with my 3 children Amanda-Jo (21), Eric (18), and Katie (13) in 2000. Moving so far away made us very close and my children are a huge part of my life and who I am today. We live with my boyfriend Bob, who has 4 children of his own. He grew up in Brooklyn, so we have a city mouse-country mouse relationship at times. (You can take the girl out of Dover, but you can’t take the Dover out of the girl)

I work for the local recreation department as a preschool teacher and program coordinator. I enjoy the many activities that I am involved in and work with some wonderful people from all over the country. Bob travels quite often for his job with the healthcare alliance.
We keep busy with Katie’s basketball. (Watch for her in the WNBA one day) We have acquired 2 little dogs (Lucy & Sophie) that I have a daily love/hate relationship with. We enjoy exploring the many parks and natural preserves that Florida has to offer. The kids love the beach and have found a new interest in surfing. (Does anyone else hear the theme from Jaws?)
I think that the website holds endless possibilities for making connections and reuniting friends. I look forward to our time together this summer. I really hope that this event is not about a day, or a meal, or a new outfit; but rather about our sharing memories of our past and of what we have done with our lives (and how much we have learned along the way) since we went our separate ways so many years ago…

Never forget that “Life is good!”
