Bob's Story
Life
After graduating from Bell High in 1976, I went to Western Kentucky University where I ran cross country and track and graduated in 1980 with a double major in Journalism and Spanish.
I was then the sports editor at the Middlesboro Daily News for two years, a sports writer at the Kingsport (Tenn.) Times-News for three years and the sports editor at the Aiken (S.C.) Standard for three years.

I get back to Pineville about once or twice a year to visit my brother Eddie and his family. My twin sister Barb lives in Johnston, S.C. and works at a hospital here in Greenwood.
I've always felt that I had a great high school experience and will always treasure the memories from Bell High. I have only been back to Western Kentucky twice since I graduated, but I'm always looking for a reason to go back to Bowling Green again.
