Ohio University
Soccer Reunion
September 23-25, 2005
 
Kim Bayless

What did you after Athens?
After college I attended law school at the University of Toledo and continued to play soccer on various club teams. After playing with Eric and Sherman in a college All Star game in Cleveland, I was given one try out with the Cleveland Stars professional team (1975). After my cup of coffee I was advised to keep my day job. Upon finishing law school I moved to North Carolina, where I have lived since 1977.
Family
At the comfortable age of 40 I married Nan Brantley, a native of North Carolina. We have two sons Lucas and Adam. Both boys have enjoyed good health and state-wide success in soccer and baseball.
Career
I have practiced law in North Carolina with the same firm (Poyner & Spruill, LLP) since 1978. I have a general commercial practice, concentrating on buying, selling and operating businesses. In 1996 I also started a truck unloading business that now operates in 21 states.
Additional education
Three years of law school and a perpetual learning process on raising children.
Residences/locations since Athens, Ohio
Rocky Mount, North Carolina Raleigh, North Carolina
Recreation/hobbies (soccer?)
Soccer, swimming and golf. None of which I do very well any more. In my post law school days I did a number of triathlons, and then the knees said enough. I have coached youth soccer since 1978.
Significant events
Experiencing a wonderful life in North Carolina with family and friends.

(Kim emailed Hugh the following:)
I have so enjoyed hearing from Peter and reading all the information you fellows have put together for the reunion. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend. I am sure it will be wonderful and that many old friendships will be rekindled. I have many great memories of my time in Athens and keep several OU soccer pictures up in my office. I plan to contact several of the team members through the internet or by phone. I also hope to look up some my fellow North Carolinians. Attached is my meager bio. Health & Happiness. Kim Class of 74.
