Robert's Story
Semi-retired thirty plus years in aerospace CPA/MBA who became a full time tennis nut...I travelled from Taiwan to Israel/Jordan for Bell and now enjoy Texas with natives being unique.
For me High School is a blur, I shared a star telegram route with Philip Nelson, then. worked at Safeway on Camp Bowie with Jeff Cason and Erick. David Morris talked me into summer school biology and algebra. I remember that Dr. Alice Bennett said that I should be horse whipped for acing her final. (my dad flew 29 missions as a radio operator, then spent eight months in east Germany) I knew relevant history. She later taught at TWC. High school was boring compared to the people at Safeway. I remember George Wolfe faking a fall after he broke the windows outside our Physics class. The ladies who shopped and worked at Safeway were fascinating. One girl who was my age use to hug me, the one night we were going out my fellow worker took her to a TCU dance. I forgave him...Expand for more
as him and his frat buds came down with a social disease-life is strange.
I never had an academic acumen until graduate school, thanks to one of my favorite ladies, Dr. G. Dominiack.
