 I GOT MY FIRST SPEEDING TICKET, OUT BY PHS, GIVING MY SISTER IN LAW CATHIE TOLMAN A RIDE HOME FROM SCHOOL ONE DAY. CATHIE WAS THE 1967 PHS FOOTBALL QUEEN. I WASN'T VERY HAPPY WITH THAT POLICEMAN, BECAUSE A WEEK EARLIER, DAVID BRENNER, LARRY STONE & I WERE RIDING AROUND WITH 3 GIRLS, & JANE BAIR, THE FUTURE MISS KANSAS FROM PARSONS, WAS DRIVING & SPEEDING LIKE CRAZY. SHE FINALLY GOT PULLED OVER & ONLY GOT A WARNING. WHEN I GOT STOPPED, HE COULDN'T WAIT TO GIVE ME A TICKET. I WAS SO BUSY TALKING TO CATHIE, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I WAS SPEEDING. I WAS SO GLAD DAVID STOPPED BY OUR APARTMENT TO VISIT CATHIE'S SISTER BARBARA AND I BEFORE HE LEFT FOR VIETNAM. YOU KNOW IT WAS THE LAST TIME I WOULD EVER SEE MY BEST FRIEND. STEVE COOPER STOPPED BY MY SHOP CLASS AT PITTSBURG TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED TO DAVID. I'M GLAD THEY NEVER ASKED ME TO BE A PAULBEARER AT DAVID'S FUNEREAL BECAUSE I WAS CRYING SO HARD, I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT. JUDGE RICKY TUCKER WAS ONE OF DAVID'S PAULBEARERS.
