One especially memorable date was to the WVOK Shower of Stars at the Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham in July 1969; (5) Driver ed. class - once all the way to Tuscaloosa - saw Clint Eastwood's "The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly" for the first time that night while my instructor was at the University working on his masters; (6) Typing class with Mrs. Martha Northcutt - a fun class!

(7) Team outings, feeds, parties and bus rides; (8) Spending time in the Alabama football locker room with Coach Beasley at Coach Jim Goostree's (Bama Trainer) invitation prior to the game with Vanderbilt - and while there meeting Coach Bryant's 1961 National Championship quarterback, Dr. Pat Trammell, as he observed the trainer's work; (9) In English Literature listening to and discussing 1960's music in Mrs. Polly Drake's class.
