Dad told me that he failed algebra and did not graduate until after summer school in 1943. He then entered WWII and served in the Pacific where he was awarded the Bronze Star. Dad loved his years at Lanier and so fondly recalled his time in the Nite Owls! He married my mother, Tina Hudson, Class of '47. They had been married 55 years at the time of his death. Dad was full of life and had the best sense of humor! He was the greatest father and was always thinking of others.
