Warren's Story
I was born in Denver, CO, and raised in Arkansas, where Dad was a Methodist minister. I lived in Calico Rock first, started school with Mrs. Woods in Elaine, and then in Rector 2nd thru 5th grade with Mrs. Glasgow, Mrs. Collier, Mrs. Gore, etc. Rector was interesting - lots of places to explore including the ice cream stand (they made brooms out back also), Elsaw's Dairy, Frits Gas Station, Hardin's Barn, the railroad tracks, and more. Then early one June morning we moved to Dardanelle, and I got to ride in the grain truck that moved us.
I loved the laid back, small town flavor of Dardanelle, and of DHS. I look back on my time there with a smile. It was great to be able to walk out my door and fish on the river, or walk across the bridge and go dove hunting. Dardanelle was a great place to grow up, and I do miss that type of lifestyle.

eachers for the most part, for a small school. Mrs. Vance was a standout in English, and I enjoyed Mr Guerian in Math, had my mother for Science courses, so can't comment there, but social studies were the coaches, and that was interesting, if not always challenging!
Right before my senior year, we moved to Batesville. I lived there less than a year, but I had a good time, as I have had everywhere I have ever been.
I went on to Hendrix College in Conway, where my Grandfather was a professor, my parents both went, and my siblings went.
I have owned a manufacturing company for 25 years now, and we make a living and have the joys and pains of business ownership.
I am an avid (some would say obsessed) bicycle rider. I rode over 7000 miles last year. I love it, it keeps me in shape, and I love kicking peoples butts that are half my age!
Life has been good!
