Comments:

Since graduating, I graduated from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary,started preaching in Cumby, Texas, in 1986. My family moved to Cincinnati, OH, for 1989-90, then moved back to Texas, where I pastored a church in Port O'Connor, Texas until 1996. I attended Baylor School of Law from 1997-99, and have been practicing law in the Waco area since that time.

My wife is a dental hygenist, and my older two children are in college (Laura's at UT in Austin, and Stephen's at the local community college here in Waco). My younger daughter graduates from Lorena High School in May, 2008.

Adding to my story, I have become somewhat knowledgeable on speaking Arthurian English (English spoken in King Arthur's time). I can speak such phrases as, "Are you saying coconuts are migatory?"; "Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who."; and, "Who are you who are wise in the ways of science?"

I have broadened my taste in music. No longer am I restricting myself to '60s rock (although I still think the Beatles were the finest composers/performers of their and succeeding generations). I have gained a greater appreciation of Brazilian jazz, classical and swing/jazz. I've even come to appreciate some types of country, although I don't readily admit it to anyone.

People used to ask my why I went to law school, and I often told them I intended to focus on international law so I could go before the World Court in the Hague, Netherlands, to prosecute the Bee Gees for crimes against humanity.

I was supposed to show up at the reunion having a net worth of around $50 million. I got a fortune cookie the first part of July that informed me I would come into a large sum of money the next month. Sure enough, the lottery at the end of August was up to $85 million cash option, and someone won it. It wasn't me. I learned from this experience that, really, only hard work and effort will get you ahead in this world, so I am redoubling my efforts as an attorney. I am preparing petitions to sue the Chinese restaurant that gave me the fallacious fortune cookie, the fortune cookie company for the malicious false fortune, the State of Texas for giving my money to someone else, and the winner of the lottery for taking the money he or she should have known was mine.

School Story:

My years at Whitehouse.

I remember my stellar football career, and still wonder how it is that no colleges offered me a scholarship to play for them.

I remember the coaches at track telling us to run a series of 440's at around 90 seconds, and Clarence Pettigrew and I thinking that was ridiculous.

I also remember throwing up beside the track after running a series of 440's at progressively slower times, and thinking to myself that maybe the coaches did know what they were talking about.

I was minding my business during our junior class meeting when Tina Farmer, out of the blue, asked me if I'd like to run for class president.

Lots more memories, but some I prefer to keep to myself.
