Hi, Nancy, I checked my 1947 Grassburr Tarleton Annual, and guess who had signed my annual across his photo- James Holland of Belton, next to Wesley Holland of Stephenville. I had classes with him- probably animal husbandry and Farm shop and academic subjects. He was a Pre- veternarian and I was an Ag Engineer. My average load was 21 hours, with 4 to 7 Wednesday Retreat Parade in full wool dress and 8:00 A.M. Reserve Officer Training Corps classes (ROTC). His photo is also in the Company A photo. I was standing in another company photo next to Franklin Conger of Stephenville- who died and we had a Military Funeral for him with the Wainright Rifles as the firing squad for a salute. Sorry to hear about him in Korea. I was drafted 12/7/1950 and released to Inactive reserves 12/7/1952. I was on Korean shipping orders in 1951 as a replacement tank mechanic. The orders were cancelled because of Fort Polk eye surgery to improve muscle coordination and astigmatism. My surgeon- Army Dr. was Maj. Sotodeh of Iran. and New York . I finished both degrees on the GI Bill after marriage to a Tarleton student, Jeannie Riley of Clyde and Levelland (Pettit), Texas. We now have 2 children and 4 grandchildren. Sold our Selden farm this year and I substitute almost full time in Waco schools since retirement. If anyone wants a copy of his photos I can zerox the pages if you send an address. Thanks, and Take care, Charles Wyly.
