3. What kind of car did you drive? - I started with a Maverick that burned huge amounts of oil. Then I had a 1977 Granada with a broken gas guage, and lastly a Chevette which had a different-colored fender salvaged from another car so I had one round headlight and one square headlight.

4. It’s Friday night. Where were you? - During football season, I was at the game since I was in the band. The rest of the year I was either working or out with my boyfriend or friends.

That's me taking Texas big-hair to a whole new level.

Fellow nerd, Kathy W., and I being nerdy and studying. Kathy and I email sporadically, but I got to visit with her in person last year when she was in the area on a business trip.

9. Were you ever suspended or expelled? - No, I bent the rules a little, but since I was in the previously mentioned "nerd" group, I got away with it.

10. Can you sing the fight song? - No, I don't even remember the tune anymore.

11. Who was your favorite teacher? - I had several. Mr. Tilford was my band director so I had him for all four years. I used to go by and talk to him while I was in college. I also loved Mrs. McGough, Mrs. Wells, and Mrs. Hulsey. They taught English, 10th, 11th, and 12th respectively.

Don't we look cute? Could my hair stick up ANY higher?

This is Jay with his wife, Angie, and their three beautiful girls. Angie and I have discussed Jay's timeless look, the man NEVER ages. I think he has some secret fountain-of-youth somewhere. Angie, if you ever find it, please send me some too.
