About this listen

I was raised on a farm/ranch in Dickens County, Texas, marched in the Fightin Texas Aggie Band, secretly courted a professor's daughter at Texas Tech from College Station, whom I married, and then received my B.S. degree from A&M and worked as an Assistant County Agent until I entered and worked my way through law school, practiced civil litigation and criminal defense law for 40+ years, raised four talented rambunctious kids and survived 54 years of wedded bliss. I've got stories to tell!
