Winston Willis

After graduating from WHS in 1961, I matriculated ( I love this word! I remember we had to pay a matriculation fee each quarter) at Georgia Southern College. I gradated with a BS Degrees in Education in 1965.

I married Lane O’Rear (class of 1960) in the spring of 1965. I was employed by the Savannah-Chatham Public School System that year.

I taught one year before taking a year’s sabbatical to return to Georgia Southern to complete my Masters Degree in Education. I returned to work with the Savannah Public School System the next school year.

Our only child, a son, Chris was born in 1967. He is following in my footsteps as he teaches PE in one of the middle schools here in Savannah and coaches basketball. He is married but has no children to my knowledge.

I worked in the public school system as a teacher, administrator, and in a variety of other positions for 32.1 years and retired in 1997.

I have worked with computers since the beginning and am a specialist with Apple computers. I have taught seniors how to use computers and worked as a Macintosh Computer Consultant.

In 1998, I took a position at the Savannah Country Day School as an Assistant Director of Information Services. I retired from there in 2005.

Currently, I am not working for pay! :) I have enjoyed helping Doris with the class of 1961 reunion web site.

I do some special sound restoration projects from time to time. I specialize in digitizing those type recordings that will never be done commercially.

Lane and I travel a little and I enjoy working in the yard and just being lazy!

For those of you who have asked, no, I have NOT had my ears “fixed!” Over time, my ears just sorta got closer to me head! Perhaps my head became bigger with age!

SMILE!

I look forward to attending the 50th reunion as I was not able to attend the other two.

Life is good!
