October 28, 2015 – We Are the Aggies; The Aggies Are We

Corps (800x600)

Two weeks from today is November 11. This is a day set aside to honor all veterans. As we approach this day in the Here’s What I’m Thinking posts you will see my feeble attempt to honor these heroes with pictures and words.

Let’s begin today with a story of this cadet in the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets. This single father is a Marine veteran and has already served eight years in Iraq and Afghanistan. Here is his story which makes one proud to be an Texas Aggie. Gig’em!

Thursday, October 15, 2015 – Cooper Goodson? Where Are You? Or The Commandant and the Doctor

Cooper Goodson? Are you out there in Facebook land? If you are I hope you are well and happy. I wanted you to know that during high school at Magnolia High School I had the biggest crush on you. Did you think I sat in the back of the band bus to sit by the bass drum?  Of course I could seldom think of anything to talk about and if there was a conversation it always seemed to end with you saying “Yeah, but girls can’t go to A&M.” If you only knew how that pissed me off.

Therefore I wanted you to know that girls now do go to Texas &M. Here is a photo of two of them. Presenting the first female Commandant of the Corps of Cadets, Alyssa Marie Michalke, and The Doctor, Yours Truly, Class of 1985. Photo by http://reddragonphotos.com/

I hope to see you one day and give you a big hug. After I slap you with my Aggie Ring. WHOOP!
