MG AT AKEENE DOT COM email to find out more
Started high school as McMillan.. Junior year changed name to Grogan.
In cadets had fun. The rest I could just get by. Did not fit in the geek group - cool guys - or the jocks.. Not a low rider or racer. But I did have a 1958 T-Bird to drive. Loved that thing. Then a 56 F150 pickup. just me. take it or leave it.
Last week of 12 grade.. and I mean the last week.. my home room teach asked me to do something I did not want to do.. so he flunked me for that last 1/4. so I did not do the walk with the class. But no one knew I was only 17 at the end of that year. so I did not care.
In todays world he would be in jail.. but that's another story.
