Meridian High Wildcats '58: Carlee Hamilton Whitaker

A Tribute and Celebration

We were the class of 1958, members of the Greatest Generation as well as children of the Greatest Generation. Born in 1940, we are also called members of the Traditional Generation.
Our childhood, post World War II, "was the best of times . . . it was the age of wisdom . . . it was the epoch of belief . . .it was the season of Light . . . it was the spring of hope . . . we had everything before us . . .we were all going direct to Heaven . . . ." (A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens.) At least, that's the way I felt about it. We were truly blessed.

Carlee Hamilton Whitaker - Autobiography

I have two sons. Brian (45) has 3 children, Madison (19) second year at Shelton State C.C. in Tuscaloosa, AL, Hunter (17) a senior and Campbell (14) a freshman at Tuscaloosa County High in Northport, AL. My youngest son, Justin (28) married Leah Spence (23) in 2004 (no children). He works for FedEx and she is going to MCC and works part time at Southern Gardens & Adventure Outfitters.

My bad news is my brother, R. C. Hamilton, Class of ‘55, died of cancer in 2004. He was my last sibling.

My wonderful news, I divorced my husband, Bobby Smith of 45 years. I am now married to Ray Whitaker, my high school sweetheart. We live in Oxford, AL and are extremely happy. Roy has 3 children and 9 grandchildren. He is retired and we do a lot of traveling when we are not remodeling our house. I look forward to seeing my fellow classmates.
