1932. I graduated from the University of Kentucky in Industrial
Management. My first job was with General Telephone Company of
Kentucky in Lexington, entucky. My next job was with
Humana Health Care System in Louisville, Kentucky. I came to
Birmingham in 1978 as Director of Management Engineering for the

driving a school bus for the Mountain Brook School System and later
became their Director of Transportation. My current work status
involves a vast array of “honey-do” projects.
My faith in God and all that surrounds
it is a large part of my life. My wife and I are active members
of The Church at Brook Hills. We have 2 sons, 1 daughter
and 1 grandchild and celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary this
past June.
Fishing has been a hobby of mine since
I was 13 years old and I continue to do that. My other
favorite hobby was motorcycle riding which I had to give up when I
was 72 years old due to losing my balancing ability.

 I am Susan Moore Teller. I worked
as a newspaper columnist for four years, was a reporter for a
time. Then I became an Advertisng Executive, then Retail
Display Sales Manager, and then a National Advertising Executive.
I wrote a lot of material, most of it wrapped fish the next day.
Retirement for me meant researching family history and writing about
it. I hoped what I wrote would inform people about the
history of my people who settled the United States, and continue to
do so long after I am gone. I am married to a wonderful
man for going on 35 years. Our lives are blessed with children
and grandchildren, some of whom live close enough to be part of our
daily life.
