I would like to say this was photo shopped by my friend James Ray Couser from West Columbia, TexasΒ when I saw it on his Facebook page today, but I pulled out my 1963 Gusher yearbook and there it was…
Okay – whoever thought up this pose for the Junior Class officers must have been smoking something other than cigarettes, and why I was holding a farm tool that was as tall as I was…well, all I can say is that I’m glad Charlotte and Claire thought it was funny – even then.
Thank you, James Ray, for resurrecting this picture. I have had a good laugh and enjoyed a flood of memories surrounding that time, place and the people in my life when I was seventeen. As you will probably remember, I will be 73 this year – actually two weeks from today – so this is a timely reminder of earlier days.
Stay tuned.

Hmmm… Three fashionably dressed teenage girls cheerfully committing armed robbery. Must be a movie in that somewhere. π
