Buddy's Story
Life
I've lived in San Antonio since 1985 and am the CEO/Owner of Eagle Outfitters of Texas, Inc. (Llano, Tx.) and Eagle Outfitters of Montana (Libby, Montana). We sell Military, Tactical, and Outdoor gear and promote gun, hunting and outdoor shows throughout South-Central Texas. I've been active and reserve for the Army since 1977 and recently 'retired' in August as a Lieutenant Colonel in Special Forces where I was a communications and weapons officer. Special Forces was the most ultimate challenge I have ever endeavored. I was an instructor at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center & School, Commander of the Communications Training Detachment, and Chief of Plans for Southern Command's (Iraq, and the Middle East) Special Operations Communications, which included all Green Beret, SEAL, Ranger, and Marine Recon units. I also served with the 1st Cavalry Division and the 82nd Airborne Division. Being a Green Beret takes back-seat only to being the father of Rebecca Mae, 31, and Melissa Kay, 28. Two spoiled rotten brats who live in San Antonio. I've been a college/high school football and baseball referee/umpire since 1 981 and have had the privilege of working several players now in the major leagues or NFL. Please send me a note or e-mail. Life is way too short, as I have seen too many times. God bless, and have fun.

School
Nurnberg High School was the best two years of my life. The people I met were true friends and remain so today. The faculty and staff were true professionals who wanted to be there and wanted us to learn and experience e...Expand for more
verything we could. Being a civilian having never been around the military was quite an experience, not to mention the fact I was in one of the most beautiful areas of the world, Bavaria. Our Football games were at "Soldier's Field" aka, "Hitler Stadium", his plaza for rallies since the early '30s. My best friend was Eddie Staats, a kind and gentle giant. He flew all the way from the Philippines to Hawaii in 1989 to be the best man at my wedding. Herbie Davis was the person I admired most as an athlete. He was extremely athletic, confident, and an on the field leader who led by example. He was also one crazy individual with a never ending sense of humor. I don't think I ever saw him without that goofy smile. Our school was truly blessed with beautiful young ladies. Karola Hardy, Nancy Dornik, Becky Davis (remember London!!), Alice Wolicki, Wendy Bulken, and many more. Mr. Jim Mulder was a true example of what a teacher should be to students. Not only did he teach us several things about English, he taught us respect. He once said, "Respect everyone but don't expect any in return. You'll find out that self-respect is more important." Graf-Zeppelin, The Pizza Parlor, DYA, Soldiers' Field, Kristkindelmarkt, Bratwurst, and, of course, the best bier on earth.
If I won $100 million, I'd give some of it to my family, then spend the rest on my NHS friends, rent a jet and fly us all to Nurnberg for a Christmas Reunion.
