Just Plain Talk: The strongest of bodies fade in the face of relentless time
Hunter may face the Tide
At our Kiwanis club meeting last week we got a chance to hear from Dean Shults who was a senior to whom I taught English during the 1972-73 school year. He went on to have a marvelous career with the power companies that operate Walters Dam and hydroelectric plant. You will be reading more about him and what if the dam breaks scenario. Another professional you know is L.C. Gregg, who is a fellow Kiwanian and coming to a milestone in his life so we will chat with him in early April about that and his plans for the future.
Let me share a bit of news that City Parks & Recreation Director Tim Dockery told us, and the Plain Talk will follow up this fall during football season. Tim and Margie Dockery's son, Hunter, has a strong chance of starting against Alabama during UT Chattanooga's last game of the season in November. Ardent football fans can appreciate their excitement. It doesn't seem like that many years ago when the parents had to deal with the horrible news that Hunter, age 9, was an insulin dependent diabetic. Through lots of family and doctor support and his own determined efforts, at age 21, he is 6'5" and 285 pounds, playing at right tackle offense. In his fifth year at UTC, Hunter is on track to be a civil engineer and has had an exciting football experience with a chance at a bowl game. All of the Dockery friends and boosters will be watching. Playing in Division 1 AA, Hunter hit the spring practice field with a slam after a strong 2012 season on the field in the last eight games. You can find Margie working for Eric Varner at State Farm Insurance.
