My name is Cyndi Smith.  I graduated in 1969.  I married for the first time on Sept 12, 1969 to Earl Leroy Johnson, a sailor stationed here.  That marriage lasted 8 yrs.  I have one son from that marriage.  John is now 36, married and has a beautiful daughter, Rebecca Lynn.   He lives in Chicago.  Although I never married David Lane Harrison,  I have a  son by him, David Jr. who is now 26 and lives here in Jacksonville.  David was assistant manager at Domino's Pizza on Normandy Blvd when a co-worker came in and shot him three times.  He lost his left kidney and spleen.  He has a metal plate in his left arm.  The last shot was to the face.  This happened on March 12, 2004 and he is still undergoing facial reconstruction as a result.  He is my miracle. He has a fantastic attitude and is an inspiration to all his friends.  They were all there for him and still are.  I recently moved into my brother's trailer.  Due to injuries relating to a car accident in 1979 and a severe bout of arthritis, I am applying for SSD.   I still get around but with difficulty.  All in all, life has it ups and downs but it has all been worth it.  I write poetry and have even had 3 published.  I am on myspace as cyndi1951 if you want to check it out.  I remember so many things from Paxon, and consider myself lucky to have gone there.  Blessings to all.
