Carl Cartledge (1959)
Hi. This is Carl Cartledge, class of 1959, catching classmates up on what has been going on since I graduated. Some of this you may know from past reunions, some you may not. After graduating from CPHS and then UGA, I spent four years in the Navy. After training, I spent the remaining three and a half years overseas, but was never on a ship. Two wonderful years were spent in Tokyo on a Joint Service Intelligence facility.Next I went to a communincations station near Rabat, Morocco. The year after discharge, I entered service with the V.A., first in Jackson Mississippi, then Atlanta and the final 23 years in Louisville, Kentucky where my two sons were raised. One is still there, the other in Los Angeles. With the G.I. Bill I was able to complete graduate education in vocational rehabilitation counseling and retired in 2000 as a counseling psychologist. The year following retirement, my wife Melody and I moved to Athens where we remained for 17 years. Through the years,I 've enjoyed golf and singing. Groups I've sung with include four barbershop choruses,the Athens choral society and the current community chorus I sing in. In 2018 Melody and I moved to metro Houston to be near Melody's daughter from a prior marriage. We live in a Del Webb retirement community in suburban Richmond, Texas. At 81, I'm blessed to be in good health and have many fond memories of class mates at CPHS.
