I am a 1962 speech and drama graduate who added an M.Ed. from East Texas State University in 1966. I taught, coached and was a principal at Mount Vernon, Yantis, Avery and Overton for 20 years. I also spent 14 years in my own business and almost 20 working for others.
I am the last graduate to never go "on line" or do anything with a computer. Good luck has allowed me to play golf in 10 states and two countries, travel extensively, stay connected to the theatre and be blessed with healthy kids, 12 grandchildren and a beautiful wife.
My best friend of a lifetime ­— Felix — I met at North Texas, but he was the only friend I stayed in contact with over the years.
I wonder what became of the others who shared my love for golf, theatre, dance, horseback riding. I search the letters for some of the names but never see them: Bogen, Young, Lee, Lopez, Peninger, Poyser, George, Sappenfield, etc. Where did the last 50 years go? North Texas was so special!
