Father was the manager of a chain grocery store. Eldest of six children. Moved to a small town in south Alabama at an early age. Life in that setting revolved around family, school, sports, and church. Any time left over allowed me to pursue my passion for fox hunting and raising fox hounds. My years at Auburn University were fantastic. They challenged me to reach as far and as wide as I could and put things within reach that I had only dreamed about. One of those things was the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of a favorite uncle who graduated from Auburn with a commission in the Army. That appointment enabled me to serve in the Republic of Korea just after the truce had been declared. I learned many things from that assignment that were immense help as family and career responsibilities unfolded. In addition to Auburn I was privileged to either study at or work at, or both, Clemson University, Columbia University, the University of Georgia, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Georgia Southern University. Each was different from the other and offered its own unique circumstances. In terms of growth Georgia Southern wins hands down. Assuming my duties of January 2, 1985 I got on the issue of university status, which was worth the move from Nebraska all by itself. There was more, however, and I loved every minute (well almost) of it until retirement in 1997. Life was made even better by the presence of a loving a supportive family. I wasn't always available for them, but they sensed my predicaments and held things together in admirable ways. I remain in their debt.
