He piloted a C-47 Skytrain for the 316th Troop Carrier Group; 37th Squadron.
Helped drop the 101st Airborne 81 years ago today!

I had forgotten something in the press box after the game last night, so I went back to retrieve it. As I was walking out I saw this precious young lady voluntarily picking up trash from the stands.
Man… THIS is what we need more of! #humbled#respect
I was a bad 5’8” player from Crowell, but Coach Adams let me walk-on & kept me around. Not a better def. coach or motivator around! Great memories! Great life lessons! I owe him a ton! Not a better man for the Tech job! @TTUmbbinsider @kirbyhocutt@lancelahnert @vivathematadors
Thank @KingForTexas for holding the line for public schools!
It’s not choice so much as it is about accountability. Public schools get $6,210/student w/strings attached. Private schools get $8,000/student carte blanche.
Public schools take all kids. Private schools get to pick.
Gruver had a “COVID Cruise”!
From 7-9 pm we “cruised main” from the safety of our cars, honked & waved to 1 another!
At 8 pm most paused to gather @ the football field to recite the Lord’s Prayer from their cars, which was led from the press box. Video courtesy of Lisa Schulz.

Child #3 (Caris Ann) graduated last night. Proud of all four of our kiddos! Blessed to be their dad!
ps: we’ll have three in college next year, so if you see me working the late shift at Allsups, you’ll know why! 😉
