Married 27 years to Tony Johnson. We have
one child, a son, who will soon be 12 and is the light of our lives. I spent several years as a veterinary assistant
in the various places that we'd lived, until my son was born in 1993. Stayed at home with him until he started school,
and began a whole new career as a police/911 dispatcher (who ME?) for Kosciusko Police Department in 2001. City powers-that-be
decided to separate the departments (though we're still in the same spot) and call us Kosciusko/Attala County E911 Communications.
I am also TAC officer for the police department, which means I'm responsible for the NCIC terminal (national criminal information)
at the PD, training and certifying new dispatchers and officers on NCIC, basically quality control of the records, etc.
It can be extremely stressful at times but I love it. My husband works for an offshore oil drilling company (based in
Houston!) and our son is a straight A student...starting junior high this next term. He is such a blessing. We
live a quiet life in the country with our animals, spend down time enjoying our families and hobbies. I miss all my
old classmates but I don't miss Houston!
