My high school dream was to go to NY, become a Male Model and return to Athens to open an exclusive Men's Clothing Store similar to The Iron Horse in the day! DID NOT HAPPEN!!! LOL
However, I did manage to become a Male Spokesmodel for AL and to work for Ralph Lauren Polo at Parisians...and my passion has been collecting Southern Antiques for 40+ years!😎

School Story

Funny quotes:
"Donnie you do not open your mouth to stick your foot in it, you open your mouth to change feet!!!" Charles 'Charlie' Spencer

"Donnie you are always a Day Late and a Dollar $hort!!!" Mr. McClure....(Well, Mr. McClure I have seen times in the farming days that a day late and a dollar short would have been a 'BLESSING!' There were days I was lot 'later' and a lot 'deeper!' LOL🤑

Happy Birthday Billy! I hope you have a great day today. It was good to see you and all the PC folks recently. Lots has happened since the summer of 1960. I think we started 1st grade in July and then a few weeks later we were picking cotton or milking cows! Maybe both?!? LOL

Happy Birthday Dave! I think I speak for all our former classmates when I say …”we are all so very PROUD of those of you who served in the MILITARY.” EACH of you DESERVE so much RESPECT! I did not know Johnny was in the Marines either! Glad to know and hear about all of you who ‘SERVED OUR COUNTRY!!!’
