The Epic Classroom
I love to tell exciting stories from my childhood. Like when I jumped on the back of a live, 7 footlong alligator. Or the time a hurricane knocked over my great grandparents apartment and I had to piggyback my 90 year-old great grandmother out of the wreckage during the eye of the storm. I could spend all day sharing about losing the soccer game because I wasn’t paying attention in the goal, or talk about playing pranks on the school bus with my friends. I love delving through life for those great stories.

Magee was phasing out of banking when the previous administrator, Betty Reams, became ill. The board then asked Magee to fill the vacancy. Reams and Magee have been the only two directors since the hospital opened in 1978.
