Graduated from Central in 1965. Had the honor of being Mr. Central 1965. Started on the Central Basketball Team for three years and was a member of the Track Team in my senior year. Shared command with Bryant Millsaps of the Central JROTC unit in my senior year. Other activites at Central are documented in the 1963 -1965 Champions. Received an athletic scholarship and played Division I College Basketball for four years. When I graduated from Auburn in 1969, I was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Army Adjutant General Corps and served 25 years on active duty, retiring in 1994. Some of the military awards I earned include the Legion of Merit, one Meritorious Service Medal for Achievement, six Meritorious Service Medals for Service, Joint Service Medal for Achievement, two Army Commendations Medals, and Viet Nam Service Medal. After retirement in 1994, I became a Real Estate Broker until my second retirement in 2010. I am passionate about Central History and am pleased to be Administrator of this Blog/Site. View All Posts
Preservation of Chattanooga Central History 
I don’t know if anyone else noticed but in the 1914 Champion just posted on the Central history site there was a calendar of significant dates. The date of April 14, 1914 Central had two speakers, Hughie Jennings a well know major leaguer of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Hughie is # 85 on the all time major league list for batting averages having hit 401 during one season. The other speaker along with Hughie was a fellow by the name of Ty Cobb, no introduction or quotation of stats needed.
Great to see these amazing documentations of Central history are being read.
