[echeese]

We did this on a private site a couple of the yahoos here started and it went over well.

I'll start. . .echeese, Chuck Wright (btw, you don't need to share names if you don't want). . .1st football game I ever watched (no shit. . .) was the Great Shoot Out 2 Dec 1969. . .my dad had just left for a year unaccompanied (AF brat) and at that age, football was something you played in the yard. . . .been "hooked" ever since.

Marine, now my payback is supporting our vets including sending game DVDs to our deployed guys and gals.   Am working with Nate Boyer's Caring for Camo program.   BTW, Echeese was my call sign . .I flew phroggs (CH 46's). . .

My name is TaylorDuck. I seldom post anymore but often hang out with STP. All I can say is what a difference he's made in my life. He helped me get over my last girlfriend after I dipped into hopelessness, again. I owe him so much and am grateful to be going to all the Boerne HS games with him.

SHA needs to change his password, btw.

[texasdalton]

Name is dalton, I was born in Fort Worth and lived in Granbury TX. I am a young buck still at the age 26 and have been living in south Florida for 8 years now. Pretty much all of my family graduated from UT, my grandfather had a law degree and served as a lawyer for the army during Vietnam. Living in south Florida it's hard to find good folks that know what's good for them such as burnt orange pride, also hard to get news updates.

Preston Johnson

Born in a town about 90% of Texans don't know exists - Dickens (March 17, 1940).

Dropped out of high school and joined the AF in January 1958 - seven and a half years later rejoined humanity.

Started going to UTA when I was almost 28, night school for two years.

Transferred to UT in 1970 and graduated with honors and a degree in Finance in 1971.

Married twice, a son by each wife.

Moved from Bastrop to Rocklin, CA in Sept 2012 for my wife's job.

My wife was 13 years younger than me and she passed away fairly unexpectedly in June 2013.  Had two dogs who have also died since I came here.  All alone now.

Oldest son and grandson live in Pflugerville, younger son and granddaughter live in Rocklin, but not with me (that would NEVER work)

Coming to Austin for Thanksgiving and going to the game.

Forgot to add that I don't have a clue why I am here.  This applies to this site and to the meaning of life.
