I left Lubbock when I was a freshman at Christ the King on 54th. We lived on 53rd right near the church/school. My first route was right near Monterrey, I believe if Monterrey was the one on 50th street.

Moved to Baytown. First time in a public school at Baytown R. E. Lee.

Talk about culture shock. Didn't take long to fit in. Back in those days, Sterling had just opened and we wuz whuppin their tails in football every year. High school was much more laid back in those days.

I lived in Lubbock from 1963 to 1969. Threw the Avalanche Journal for 4 years. Back then, before global warming , the snow would get deep at times. The wind on the plains made riding a bike tough. There's only about three fences between Lubbock and Canada to break the wind.

Sold cokes at Jones Stadium during TT games.

No real bad experiences.

I would like to go back and visit, you know, the roots thing.

Will be packing if I ever go.

Anygun.
