Elizabeth Lee Curry Schultz

After graduating from Tilghman and while I was still attending the University of Louisville, my parents and siblings all moved to Atlanta. Therefore, I never returned to Paducah and sadly lost touch with most everyone except for Donna Morgan Carr. I moved to Atlanta shortly after college and have been here ever since. I met my husband of 50 years in Atlanta. He was a homebuilder before he retired. Together we have built many spec homes... houses in Watercolor, Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., Hilton Head, S.C., Highlands, NC, Naples,Fla., Bray's Island, S.C. and Ford Plantation, Savannah as well as many in Atlanta. Building and decorating have been a passion of ours for many years. It was a really fun life. We are both retired now and I am enjoying not traveling so much. I can now stay home and be involved in the lives of my two grandchildren, Ben, 14 and Millie, 12. They live very close to us so we have been fortunate to be able to be a part of their daily lives. While Amy lives in Atlanta, my other daughter, Rebekah, lives in Venice, California. Both she and her husband are in the film industry. Her husband is a cinematographer who recently was director of photography for HBO Max's Edge of the Earth.

I graduated from the University of Louisville and then worked on my Masters at Georgia State University. I taught elementary school in Louisville and then in Atlanta. About 15 years ago, I decided to resume teaching as a para professional...all the fun and not so much responsibility. I enjoyed it so much but did not realize how much things had changed since I left the profession...Math was REALLY HARD, even in the fourth grade..ha, ha! I never was much of a math student, even at Tilghman! I decided I probably needed to try something else. I began working at an antique/interior design store in Atlanta. It was amazing how many of my former PTHS classmates would wander into the store...and how many of them I actually still recognized!
