Hi Mean,
You attended Samford University. Did you know a law professor there, Annette Clark Dodd? She died of cancer in 1993 -- but was at Cumberland School of Law from 1967 to 1993. Samford has named a scholarship in her honor.
She was a close friend in high school. When I was a senior and she was a junior, we used to dance in the gym during lunch. At Sheffield High, back then -- 1954/55, the cafeteria was adjacent to the gym. So, after a quick lunch, we would go into the gym, put on some 45 rpms (records for our younger Friends), and dance.
The girl's Phys Ed teacher, Ms. Hester, saw us and suggested we start a Lunch Time Dance Class -- with Annette and me as the instructors. To this day, I cannot hear "Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White" by Perez Prado without remembering Annette and our lunch time dancing classes.
If you knew her at Samford, she probably had the appearance of a stiff neck law professor -- but, in high school days she had some smooth moves on the dance floor.
Just curious if you knew Annette when you were at Samford. She was a beautiful person, both inside, and outward to the world.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
Bill,
I vaguely recall the name. I probably heard it from friends on campus. I was there from 80-84.
