Mom
-- Gretchen Carraway
My mom is 27 years old*
and still weighs the exact same amount as the day she graduated high school.**
She graduated from beauty school in just under 25 years, but never worked
while my brother and I were at home. Now that we're gone she has
way too much time on her hands, so she rearranges the furniture a lot and
even once cut the frills off of her pillows. She is now spending
her time working two days a week with me at Allen-Duncan Agencies.
No, we haven't killed each other quite yet. She has lived in Titusville
for almost 40 years and seems to know absolutely everything that happens
in that town. She is an expert scorekeeper in baseball and has a
tendency to go kind of crazy in hotel rooms sometimes uncontrollably singing,
"I'm a soul man."

Brother
-- Scott Carraway
Scott is three years older
than me which means he is 27. He is the
manager at a Sav-a-Lot store in Orlando, FL. He is always working
and when he's not working he's hoping that work isn't going to call him
to come in to work. He is an excellent bowler and owns three 300
rings, which he rubs in my face at every opportunity, to prove it.
Every so often he enjoys borrowing my car, falling asleep at the wheel,
and driving into the woods. We think that Jimmy Hoffa's body might
be somewhere in the backseat of his truck as we have already found the
holy grail and Scott's Christmas presents from the last 4 years buried
back there. His love for baseball almost equals my own and he bleeds
Clemson Tiger orange. He is the funniest person I know (behind myself
of course) and somehow managed to get his high school diploma without attending
3rd period his Senior year. Some of the best times of my life have
been just sitting around and making people laugh with Scott.
Grandma1 -- Celeste Carraway
Grandma1
(my dad's mom) was born the same year that the New York Yankees made Murderer's
Row famous. She is the sweetest little southern lady you could ever
meet. She lived in Titusville until 1986 and then moved back to South
Carolina, which is where she was born, with my grandpa. She has lived
there ever since and has one dog that she spoils rotten and loves to work
in her garden. She has farming at her roots and still helps my uncles
(her brothers) with their farming. We see her about 2 times a year
and she insists on paying for everything because she says an old person
doesn't need money for anything. She makes the best sweet tea and
vegetable soup in the world and sometimes if she's really upset has been
known to chase hunters out of her woods even though they had big guns.
Grandpa1
-- Arthur Carraway
Grandpa1
(my dad's dad) was born the same year as my grandma1. He worked at
Kennedy Space Center until he retired. He graduated from Clemson
University which is where my brother got his love of them from. He
passed away in 1990, but every time I watch Clemson play a football game
I can't help but think about him getting up and turning the TV off each
time they started losing and then 5 minutes later turning it back on.
I miss him a lot.
Grandma2 -- Marguerite Brown
Grandma2
(my mom's mom) was born the year the "Black" Sox were thrown out of baseball
for losing the World Series on purpose. She worked as a teacher and
a librarian until she retired some time ago. Now she spends most
of her time playing bridge and going out to lunch with her friends.
She loves to wear hats of all kinds and has quite a collection. Her
favorite thing to do is check to see if people have the trademarked Adams
thumb.

Robert
(Dana's brother)
Robert
is 26 years old and I met him at the little league when I went up there
to see Dana. He was very protective of his little sister at first
but eventually warmed up to me and we got along great (mainly because I
was kind of a dork, so he could trust me). We started going fishing
together and since then we have grown into good friends. I've always
enjoyed watching baseball games with him because we both are usually better
coaches than anybody we've seen on the field. We played Stan Musial
(semi-pro) baseball together in the summer of '96 and we had a blast.
We went to Bradenton, FL for the state tournament and room 210 was our
favorite. We've been known to stay up until 6:00 in the morning testing
each other on how many Major League Baseball teams we can name.
Beth
(Dana's sister)
Otherwise known as Bef, she is 21 years old and has gone from being my enemy to one of my best friends. She is currently pregnant with her first child, but she hasn't had any mood swings to speak of.* For the first year I knew her, we both hated each other. Then, the summer before my Senior year, we both got to know each other and realized we didn't hate each other anymore. Ever since then we have grown closer and closer. I have a lot of great memories with her. At times she enjoys making up her own words such as yachet or suspific. She also likes making triangles out of stars instead of listening to people talk. She enjoys having other people tell her what she's thinking and feeling, she's never seen without a smile on her face, she loves going to Epcot, she always beats me when we play pool, and she never batted .141 her junior year in softball.** She can inhale an entire meal and 3 drinks in about 3.7 seconds. She has also been known to shoot coke out of her nose at Burger King. Recently because of Jeremy she has been transformed into a girl, but I still love her to death.
*Okay maybe one or two . . . per
hour that is.
**this is entire sentence is filled
with crap.

Angela
-- (Dana's sister)
Angela is 19 years old and a Freshman at Brevard Community College where she plays softball. She also didn't like me when I first met her, although I had no idea about that until this year. I have had the pleasure of watching her grow into a beautiful young lady. A year ago I would have said that she was the nicest girl in the world but recently she's been a little bit testy. This is mainly due to the fact that she has no self confidence and worries about things that she shouldn't. She has to be the most selfless person in the world and is without a doubt her mother's favorite. She is an excellent artist and just won first place in an art show. When she's embarrassed, she has been known to gnaw the shoulder of the nearest person off. She has also been known to make approximately 63,500 bracelets for us all when she's sick. If I had a nickel for every time that she's said, "I'm hungry," I would be a rich man. For the last year she has been dating Garry Amos (who is still a Junior in high school, not that there's anything wrong with that)* and I just thought I'd put that in here, because I'm sure if I asked Angela she would say, "That would be nice."
*except for the fact that it's freaking weird.
Timmy
-- (Dana's brother)
Timmy is 16 years old and is in tenth grade. Right now he is at that age when every ten minutes you want to kill him, but we all went through that. He plays little league baseball and he is the reason that Robert and I coach. He has been known to mumble--a lot about anything that upsets him, which at 16 is basically everything. He's the youngest, so of course he thinks that everybody else picks on him and gets to do things that he can't and he's right. He has been dating Kinsey Carlson for over a year now, and I won't mention that he's a Sophomore and she's a Senior, because it's kind of a touchy subject.*
*oops!!
Tim
Wood
Tim is my age, well actually he's eight days older
than me. He has been my best friend for the last 8 years. I
met him through a girl that he was dating in high school and we've always
just clicked together. He moved out to Colorado a couple of years
ago to get his education so I only get to see him about once a year.
However, when we are together we just pick right back where we left off
and it seems like he was never gone. He likes guns and knives and
shooting things and that's why he wants to become a police officer.
We are complete opposites on the outside, but exactly the same on the inside.
We worked at McDonald's together for awhile and were known to sit in the
parking lot after shifts and talk for hours on end. He gets serious
road rage when he's driving and has even gotten out of his car to help
me beat up an innocent tree. He knows that if you don't know the
answer to a question, "It all dates back to teenage love." He also
has a tendency to buy very expensive things and then not use them.
He spends an average of $22,000 a year on candy and eats sugar right out
of the packets. Although he wasn't with me at the Garth Brooks concert
(Ha Ha) he's been with me through everything the past seven years
and he's always there for me to talk to. I just hope I've been as
good of a friend to him as he has to me. He would also like you to
know that a 500 pound dog is a big dog.
Jon
and Melissa Arrington
Jon and Melissa have been married for over a year
now and I can honestly say that I was there when it all started.
I went to high school with Melissa and I became friends with Jon through
Dana's family. He had lived in Titusville and then moved to Tennessee
where he is right now. I've been friends with Jon for about 4 years
and I just can't help but love the guy. I always have a good time
when I'm with him, whether it be on the golf course or drinking Wild Turkey
or even watching a bikini contest at Mother Fletcher's in Myrtle Beach,
SC. Melissa and Jon met at Dana's house and they fell in love and
she moved up to Tennessee and they got married. That's the short
version of the story because the long one is far too long.
Chuck
& Alison Glaeser
*I can't remember if this is accurate
Alison
is Chuck's girlfriend and she and I have been friends ever since Chuck
and I became roommates. She is our age and she also went to high
school with us which is where she and Chuck started dating. She also
attends Florida
State University and she is majoring in
interior design which fits her perfect as she is Martha Stewart junior.
At times she has been known to help Chuck and I analyze American
Pie, for instance did you know that
the day the music died was the day Buddy Holly's plane crashed and the
name of the plane was the American Pie. If you ever want to get on
her bad side, all you have to do is turn left where there's no stop light.
She sometimes laughs uncontrollably and really likes going to baseball
games or just playing catch. Actually, she's the only person in the
world that would make somebody leave a 3 to 2 ballgame in the 8th inning
because she was "bored."
