Bio/Comments: Then Now
My name is Beverly Howard.  Most remember me as either Beverly Lewis or Smokey.  If you are laughing, that's ok.  When I graduated from HS I moved to San Antonio, TX.  In 1985 I joined the U.S. Army and retired in 2005.  I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland and graduate degree from Dallas Baptist University.  After retiring from the military, I worked for the Department of Education as a Civil Rights Investigator for about 6 months.  I had a strong desire to make more money; therefore, I accepted a position with City of Dallas.  I worked as a Human Resources Generalist for the City of Dallas for 1 year.  Although I loved my job and the people I worked with, I still had a desire to advance and put that Masters degree to work.  I accepted a position with the Federal government as an Employee and Labor Relations Specialist for the General Services Administration.  I moved from Dallas, TX to Washington, DC.  My boss offered me a deal that I could not refuse.  I accepted the challenge of being a "Virtual Employee."  I then returned to Dallas, TX where I work home about 90% of the time and the other 10% is spent at the Federal building in Fort Worth.  I have been engaged to Arthur Hicks since 2002 and will one day close my eyes and take that leap again.  He works for American Airlines and we spend about one weekend a month in the air.  We love to travel and visit different cities.  We are hoping to settle down in Denver, CO after visiting every state.  Other than that, I miss coming home.  Hopefully someone with start a class reunion and I look forward to seeing all of you.  My e-mail address is listed and hope to speak to a classmate soon.
