Montgomery (Monty) Howard

I would have finished at LBJ (we lost the fight with the school board to stay at Reagan), however, my father was transferred to DC and I finished practically next door to the CIA at Langley. I went to community college there and worked in a Sears auto center in Arlington, VA., got married way too young. Came back to Texas to enter UT in '78. I have lived in SA since finishing at UT in '83. Divorced since the summer of 2013 after 36 years. My life changed dramatically over the following year-plus. I have encountered many new friends, met the most wonderful, Marcella, and married her. We operate a B&B here in SA, and are working on my transition out of my career and moving on to do more of the things we imagine. Life is good and fabulously happy.

Spirit Manager in 73/74 (the name changed from HR3 after that became politically incorrect). Bus trips to football games were a hoot with the cheer leaders, RR's and band. The trip to Harlingen stays in my mind .... I think we were over 12 hours on the road, and we played poker for most of the ride
(God bless Bert Tucker). Then there was the 4A final against Earl Campbell at the Astrodome. I spent a lot of time on side lines with Rodney Warner, crusin' and running around with Rodney and Randy Haynes. Played a lot of driveway basketball with David Cuellar. Did track, cross-country, German club, and working almost fill time at the old Minimax on Manor Road with Randy.
