| Yes, I thought I was a "GEEK" at 15 years, and then miraculously I grew to 6 foot 4, and the girls started to notice me. Strange how it is in life; the vast metamorphosis. The click on photo at the bottom right is Walt at 16 when I attended Denver SDA Junior Academy within the year of 1952. San Pasqual Academy came next where I graduated in the summer of 1954. I was so poor at the time, I didn't have a decent pair of shoes for graduation. I asked the Principal to loan me five dollars, and he replied: "Polish up those old work shoes, and this probably won't be the last time your in need of money," and so I did. Ha ha it seems to me now, for it was the last time I didn't have money for shoes, and because of my poor grades, I guess he didn't have much confidence in a successful future for one such as I? |
