Convertible Days

Pictured from left are Gaines Alexander, Mike Klepak, Martha Hayden, Tony Fertitta, Linda Lou Montgomery, Bubba Miller, Sondra McDonald and Sandra Primeaux.I found this picture in my North Texas scrapbook.

It was from a frat info booklet, taken in front of the Pi Kappa Alpha house in 1960 or 1961.

The girls in Mike Klepak's Impala convertible were my roomies. I know where Sandra Primeaux is, as we are Delta Gamma alums, but have lost touch with the others.

There was a concrete slab where we used to dance the "NT Push." I saw a note in my scrapbook from Tommy Miller, Bubba's little brother, saying "Meet me at the Slab for dancing."

Such fantastic memories! I remember when Abner Haynes came to the UB and taught us how to do the "Push." He said you have to hold onto your bedframe and listen to the music of Jimmy Reed.

I'm not sure about the rest.
