Unt Golden Eagles Class of 1963

I can't separate the memorable things from the personalities. When you have camaraderie that you blood sweat and tears. You develop those bonds that last a lifetime. I have friends today that I talk to on a regular basis that that we enjoy when it's all over with we get ready to hang up to tell them we love them. I bleed green like most of the rest of this group. I'm so appreciative on the education we got here and that I just try to do everything I can. My wife and I are co-charing the capital campaign, about to wrap one up which is great. I support athletics very heavily. I support the college of business very heavily I am just grateful for the whole experience. It gave me an opportunity, nobody in my family had ever finished high school much less college and the atmosphere I had here at North Texas was very conducive to learning. On Thursdays at the Student Union the One O'clock Lab Band played and you didn't have a class on Thursday. at one o'clock you went there to dance and it was just the best music in the whole world and I think that part of being at North Texas with all the music surrounding you just made this place so special to all of us. Obviously education was the reason we came, but I soon discovered at UNT there was another life there was a college life. Joining the Geezle fraternity was also a very important a event in my life. Unlike many fraternities you didn't pledge Geezle. They found you. The night I was asked to be a Geezle. They brought in and handed me a piece of paper told me where I was supposed to be on a certain day and as they handed to me that they set fire to it destroying all evidence. We were very big on supporting athletics. In fact the Geezles were instrumental in adding the big Spiriki eagle in Apogee Stadium. The social life lead to lifetime friendships which enhanced the education that I received here at UNT. My involvement here really taught me how to interact with people. It's been a very enjoyable, the journey of my life. I wouldn't change anything and North Texas was the beginning of it. I tease my SMU and TCU friends and tell them that they are owed a refund because my my education is as good or better than theirs.
