Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
As quarterback for the
University of Tennessee, he led
his team to the Gator Bowl in
1925.
Since that time he attended
Princeton University and Robert

has served as a Peace Corps
volunteer in Turkey and been
active in investment banking and
international finance since 1970.
He lived in Europe for 25 years

throughout Europe, the Middle

Local Poet
Life without dancing
Is like love
Without laughter
And love without laughter
Is like night without day
I can’t imagine you
Never dancing.
I can't imagaine you
Being alone.
No. I'm not jealous
My heart holds no envy
I’m happy just knowing
How close
We have grown.
