I attended the UofA at Fayetteville, where I was roommates with Robert Stebbins for the 1st month (and Dana and Alan Beggs, since they were always in our room) until I moved to the fraternity house (no, it wasn't like Animal House). Tammy and I met after college (at church) and married in 1987. Moved to Northwest Arkansas in 2015. We currently are members of First Baptist Church in Rogers.

Speaking of "zipper check". My first day at Cloverdale in 7th grade and I saw some girls (probably Sharon, Brenda, and Stephanie) whispering and pointing at me. I thought I was a stud until I looked down and my zipper was unzipped. What a 1st day.

A bunch of 7th grade boys "streaking" around the neighborhood at Jimmy McDaniels' and at Stanley Thompson's "bunking parties". Try to get that picture out of your head.

The rumor went around school that I was having a Halloween party at my house in Allendale. Ended up with at half the school in my front yard. Some guys from Mills kept driving by and throwing eggs at us.

Does anyone remember when "Roots" came out and we had state police with rifles on the roof at school. It made national news.

Trying to get to school the day of the "big flood". I lived 2 blocks from school but of course I had to drive.

Bottle Rocket fights with the '79 Allendale crew (Me, Tim Stachey, Steve Fox, Tod Hagge, Todd Lewellan) against Wayne Brooks, Kenny Mack and other '78 class crew.

Mike Baldwin and another Mills student trying to drop Green Marshmallows from a helicopter on school, missing and covering Geyer Springs.

Ooooh, Mrs. Trooter. She loved her Seniors.
