School Story:

After Jr High, me and my next door neighbor, Toby Kellough and friend Tommy Skiles changed to CHS. After a few weeks Tommy went back to RBHS and I joined the ROTC Drill team where I learned how to shine boots and flip a M1 rifle. One day in ROTC class, senior Jim Bowen did not like the way I cleaned my rifle so he said Smith you and I are going outside. He was captain of the football team and a lot bigger than me. When we got outside he took off his shirt to fight and I was so scared I punched him in his nose which bled big time. It was a short fight and when we went back in the armory Sargent Jenkins looked at me then Jim and laughed. Little did I know about the Saint Elmo Rangers, you fight one you fight them all. A week later his younger brother Tommy picked a fight with me then later Gay Carter and much later Donnie Drew, it was one long year.

Hello Carol, it was so nice to see you & your husband. I am sorry we didn't have more time to discuss the Boro, you would not believe all the growth that has occurred here, it is projected that Rutherford county will surpass Hamiltion in the next few yrs. Jerry
