Wife of Robert


 
 
 

I am married to Robert Ogletree. We met in college and fell in love at first sight.  On August 13th of this year we were married 25 years!

Mother of Thomas
 

After twelve years of marriage, Robert and I had a baby boy, which we named Thomas. He put a whole different spin on how we viewed life and it has never been the same since. 

Thomas is 13 years old, 6’2” tall and has size 15 feet! He loves sports of any kind and does well at them all. He is an 8th grader at Central Middle School in Carrollton, GA.

 

Aunt of Whitney
 

The best birthday present I ever got was the birth of my niece, Whitney. She was born one day after my 30th birthday and is very special to me. She and Thomas are both only children and have been raised like brother and sister. Many people think they are twins.  She is very good at basketball and cheerleading. 
 

 

Swimmer with Manatees
 

One of my favorite things to do is in the entire world is to swim with manatees. It is a humbling and mystical experience to be surrounded by 3000 lb. creatures that have no enemies. I take school and adult groups to Crystal River, FL to teach about manatees. The highlight of the trip is swimming with these wonderful creatures.

I am 43 years old, blond, blue eyed and am 5’4” inches tall.  My birthday is February 2, (Ground Hog’s Day).
.   I never wear pins in the usual places, am a MAJOR coffee drinker 

and love to think outside the box! 

Admirer of Flamingos


I think flamingos are the ultimate symbol of “thinking outside the box.” They are graceful, beautiful and have a unique personality. No other creature has to eat shrimp to stay pink.

I have two big plastic yard flamingos perched in my office windows.  They always remind me to think differently and to remember that nothing is as it appears to be.
 


Instructor at UWG

I teach in the Curriculum and Instruction Department in the College of Education at the University of West Georgia. I have been teaching here since 1995. The main courses I teach are Classroom Management, Reading and Writing Connections and the Internship seminar.

I love working with beginning teachers and seeing their excitement.

The University of West Georgia is located in Carrollton about 50 miles west of Atlanta

 


Collector of PEZ
 
 

I am really a child at heart and love toys!! I started collecting PEZ dispensers around 4 years ago. I have around 500 PEZ in my collection and have no clue why I chose to collect them…except they make me smile  when I look at them. 
 

Farm Owner

I live on a farm in Carrollton. It is located on Oak Mountain and has 150 acres of beautiful hardwoods and pastures. It has been in the Ogletree for over 100 years and has been a working cattle farm for the last 50 years.

 
 

This October 2002 the Georgia Agriculture Department and the State Legislature honored the Ogletree farm as a Centennial Family Farm.
