School Story: |
|
There was a student that I will not mention by name that was having a rough time dressing for P.E. I used to give the guys 5 minutes to change and then go in with a broom and drive them out.
I got a note from his mother asking me to have patience with him. They were practicing dressing for P.E. at home!!!
Good news! Bad news!! Over the years, I lost Goliath and Oscur!!! Anyone remember Big Red? |

The only Big Red I know about is Kim Andrews. Is that the Big Red you are referring to? Suzanne

Great picture! I can't make out the symbol on the hat though, what were you dressed as? I'm also a scuba diver - where do you dive near here, Ginnie Springs?

Dr. James Gipson
The symbol on the hat is clergy. A black frock is the standard dress of a southern clergy. Few had uniforms.
I am "The Fighting Parson." I have a rank of Col. I am Chaplain of the Tenth Tennessee, Tenth Missouri, The Southern Volunteer Brigade, The Florida Division Calvary. In addition to being Lt. Commander of the Winston Stephens Sons of Confederate Veterans.
I am the Federal Commander of the Northern Invasion to Lake City at Olustee.

Brother Gipson,
You were my first crush! (Jack Bailey was my first love!)
I am somewhat in your circle of friends even though we don't see each other often. I asked Gary Silcox about you and the round-up just yesterday. I did Marry into the Hamner family. I think it's been that long since I've seen you. Wee will cross paths again, I'm sure. trisha
