My Parents

Jessica Kimbrough Bancroft Wood, also know as Kim, went to Converse College and the University of South Alabama for her Bachelors in English, Bachelors in French and Masters in Education. She is acting Education Curator for the Mobile Museum of Art. Very eclectic in taste for adventure, she likes to explore parts of the south and the state of Alabama. She speaks french and can edit the written word like no one else.

Norman Edward Wood graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Electrical Engineering. Fun fact: I am a 3rd generation graduate from Auburn, spanning a hundred years! After retiring from International Paper he decided he couldn't just stay at home all day. He studied up, applied and beat out all the other applicants for a top job at Degussa. He is plant electrical engineer and deals with Electrical Reliability. Loves to describe things using diagrams and will draw you a picture of what he is describing on just about anything.

Victoria Bacon Barney Wood went to the University of Colorado and studied film and photography. She has been associate producer of several movies, most notably, the cult classic Porkys. She left the film industry and moved home and had a shop in Birmingham of sewn childrens' gifts and then later back to Mobile to explore the travel industry. She managed a support group for AmEx Travel for many years. She is currently the manager of my daddy and has been for going on 20 years :) She taught me to sew when I was 8. I still sew today.

Fun Fact: Kim and Victoria both graduated from Julius Tutwiler Wright's School for Girls just a couple of years apart. Also, Kim's cousin, Emily, is Victoria's Godmother :)

Offspring: Norman and Kim have two children. Norman Staples Wood, born 1978 and Jessica Elizabeth Kimbrough Wood Garrison, born 1981.
