I have literally been all over the world, at least from here to China, since leaving Sam Houston. I left a year early, was supposed to graduate in 1969, took a college entrance exam and on the strength of it was accepted at Southwestern, then UCLA, and Oklahoma State, certified in Bio-Medical Research. I pastor a church in Honey Island, Texas now, continue to work in advisory capacity with a medical research company.
My wife's mother, Martha Risher, continues to live in the old neighborhood, so we get to visit there often. Sad to see Sam Houston closed down.
While pastoring in Beaumont, one of our kids there, Clay Walker, developed a deep relationship with our family. He continues today to be a close friend.
