From Knoxville, I left home, I wasn’t getting along with my dad. I left home and went to my girlfriend’s house and they let me come in there, that was a mistake. Her mother let me come in and live with them. Well, I’m a teenage boy and hornier than a four peppered billy goat, so I hope nobody tapped that (laughs). But my dad, I was this in class at Baendin High School, my dad comes up, goes to biology class and says, “Come here.” He said, “Come here, get in the car.” So I got in the car, drove me down the town Knoxville, “Yes, I will. I’ll do it.” I was in the army, I was on the bus. Best thing it ever happened to me, the best thing it ever happened to me. I got my GED when I got out of the service and I did very well in the service. I was promoted, always in charge of something, and was a tank commander.
