This book is a chronicle of “coming of age” in the 1940’s, 1950’s and 1960’s in Oklahoma and Texas. The initial pages of this book are devoted to a brief recapitulation concerning the state of my birth, Oklahoma, and my home town, Dewey, and the influence exerted on the culture by Native Americans. Other topics include my ancestry, school days and refl ections on teachers, coaches, and sports teammates, everyday life in small-town Oklahoma in the halcyon days of the 1940’s and 1950’s, and having a second summer home in Texas City, Texas. The middle portion is devoted to my undergraduate experiences at Texas A&M University, at the time an all-male military school. There are takes on favorite professors and interesting classmates. The same can be said for my two tours of duty at the University of North Texas in Denton where I received my master’s and doctoral degrees. The third major section is devoted to my cherished 32 months in the US Army. This book is intended to be a companion volume to Stamping out ignorance in Aggieland, and it is my fondest hope that it provides additional insights into what has been a wonderful 80-year ride for this old Professor, Okie Boy, and Texas Aggie.
