[Ms. Hendrick asked me to post this story regarding Bill Medley and Mr. Hall as she was not able to access the RoHawk BB Bear]
 
Many years ago, when Bill was a freshman, he was late to first period, and because of a rule we had, latecomers were supposed to pick up a pass from the office.  So, as he entered my English class, he was about to be seated, and I said, "Bill, you have to return to the office to get a pass."  Before he thought (a common mistake of freshmen!), he gave a response to indicate he was not going to do that.  He had not scanned the room and was totally unaware that Mr. Hall was toward the back of the class to observe.  Since Bill had his back to the class, he was possibly thinking he had won the argument until he heard that familiar, deep, commanding voice "Boy!  You WILL go the office to get your pass and you WILL wait there until I come!"  Had there a hole in the floor, poor Bill would have slunk into it..his facial expression was something like, "Oh, God, I am dead meat!"
Somehow, he survived----so did we all.  Those were great years!
[I must interject, Bill's "indication" he wasn't going to the office was a middle finger salute delivered with both hands behind Ms Hendrick's back when she turned around, Bear]
 
On a personal note, I returned to the East Texas area in November to be nearer close family---built a lovely little garden home and am enjoying the slower pace of Lufkin as opposed to the racetrack of San Antonio. Should you or other RoHawks come through, I hope you will visit.
