Historical Artifacts

I attended and graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in Baytown, Texas. My class had 905 members.

High school was just three years when I first entered.  I was in the band. In the tenth grade I played the cornet, but then I switched to tuba and made the symphonic band my junior and senior years.  This picture is of my senior year.  I am in the center back row.

I have never been a very good athlete (unlike my sons), but I was on the basketball team in the eighth grade.  They sent me in one time where I ran around and tried to block.  So ended my basketball career.

Although this is not me, it sure looks like me when for a brief period I delivered newspapers on my bike.

After college, I taught in a "Christian school" in south Georgia, 1974-75.  Turns out it was one of those schools created to continue segregation.  I taught Bible and math to sixth graders and English to ninth graders.  We left the school after one year.

This is a record of my teaching experience in Greenville County Schools. One year with Bainbridge Christian Schools in Bainbridge, GA, did not count towards retirement.
