Biography: I just found out about the web site recently from my brother, Tim Pyles, Class of '81.

My family and I left Liberia at the end of the school year in 1974. I lived in several states in the U.S. after leaving Liberia, primarily Alabama. I graduated college with a bachelor degree in Social Work in 1984, and have held positions primarily in the health care industry, was a homemaker for six years, and in January 2002, once again entered the work force, and currently am a Foster Care Case Manager with the State of Louisiana. I am married to a Cajun, and have two children, ages 15 and almost 13, both boys.

I would look forward to hearing from some of the other former classmates. I remember my time in Liberia with great fondness, and have never forgotten many of you.
