Well, I began my uh career uh after graduating from Shelbyville High School. I went to Ball State University, graduated from Ball State in 1968. uh we moved to Frankfurt or not I'm sorry Renelier and I taught 10 years at Renelier and in 1978 I came to Frankfurt uh high school and taught here for 30 years and uh enjoyed my time
002both at Rinselier and at Frankfurt. >> So 30 years here at Frankfurt and and coaching the swim team as well and I know I remember you as my PE teacher when I was here back in 1990s. Uh, so I know recently you were inducted in the hot dog hall of fame as an honorary member. So talk to us a little bit about that. Yeah, that was an extreme joy on my part and my family's part and of course and enjoyed the time uh with the uh swimmers that came back and those that many that weren't able to come back during that presentation sent me notes and uh some uh videos and so forth and enjoyed that time immensely. >> Yeah. Uh well, one of the things I also wanted to talk to you about is
003we're here with with some students in Mr. CI's broadcasting class. It's a pathway we offer here at Frankfurt High School and and every month I do a fact and I thought you had a real interesting fact to share with our with our viewers and and it has something to do with broadcasting. So, would you like to share that fact with them? >> Sure. As part of my uh education at Ball State, I was in the Sigmakai fraternity and one of my brothers uh was David Letterman. >> Wow. and David I was a a pledge trainer for David's uh class pledge class and uh also became you know friends there on campus and uh we did several things together uh as a lot of college students we weren't the calmst of individuals at that time uh
004so several of the stories that I could tell I won't share but uh David was an individual and became a very good broadcaster and of course is quite famous and uh uh we enjoyed our time together. >> Yeah, that's great to hear. I know they have the Ball State Communications Center, David Letterman Center that where he had donated and if you've if you ever been there, it's kind of designed like the city of New York a little bit inside.
