Comments:

4 years in the Army (mostly in southern Germany) followed by a decade in California (where I married) before returning to Odessa (working for Big 3 and then as Manager of a used oilfield pipe yard during one of the booms) and eventually graduating from UTPB followed by University of Houston Law School. We lived in Houston for a period and we are currently retired within walking distance of the Willamette River in Eugene, Oregon.

School Story:

I attended OHS as a Sophomore and again as a Senior in 1961 but was a Junior at Permian - typical of my school period, never at the same school 2 years in a row.
I wrote sports for the Lariat my Senior year and was a member of a Speech team that attended a regional contest and some of us caused a ruckus on our return because we drank "near beer" at one of the rest stops the bus made.

Do you still see/talk to/hang out with any classmates? Who?

no

What have you always wanted to do that you haven't done yet?

stay healthy and active through to at least 90 yrs old . . .

Have you ever done something that you told yourself you wouldn't do?

don't remember limiting myself . . . but bad choices, yes, more than once . . . no regrets come to mind . . .

What would we be surprised to know about you?

few secrets . . . I am still alive and exceedingly fortunate . . .

Have you lived one of your dreams?

well . . . never been to space, but I wanted to join a service and served in the army . . . (after the third attempt at passing the physical -I'm deaf in my left ear and couldn't pass twice . . . 3rd time, navy guy administering test, asked me, Boydstun, do you really want to be in the service this badly . . . I said "yes"; he said, "pass" - at discharge time, the Army medical officer suggested I file for disability because Army had ruined hearing in my left ear . . . I smiled at him (nice guy) and went on my way . . .

When was the last time you belly laughed?

last time Andrea told a joke . . .

Any words of wisdom for your classmates?

keep smiling . . .

Last but certainly not least, do you have any tattoos and/or body piercings? If so, where and how many? (You may be called upon to provide proof at the reunion:o)

none
