35 Years

Happy Birthday, Hunter. It's been 35 years since all 6 pounds, 7 ounces of you made your first appearance. Here's a brief review of those years in pictures.

You were our first born, and we never got tired of dressing you up and showing you off. This picture was made at Mema's and Papa's house the Sunday you were baptized in Camden. I still have your little white suit hanging in my closet.

When I taught at Fayetteville High School, you called my students "The Boys and Girls." For your third birthday, they decided to throw you a surprise party. This is the invitation that they posted on the chalkboard.


Uncle Bob enjoyed taking his nephews fishing at various lakes and ponds around Camden, so your love of fishing began at an early age. Catch and release didn't apply to bass, crappie or bream, so you and Uncle Bob got to pose with your catch.

During your middle school years we lived in Texarkana. This picture was made at a party following middle school graduation.

In 1996 you graduated from the University of Arkansas, and you've gone on to bigger and better things, but it's always fun to take a trip down memory lane. Have a great day!
