Scott aka Hipsley: April 2007

Jolene, I have included some other family members on this info that you requested. "daddy told me to ask you about a song with jr growing up or something that happened today" Yesterday Grandpa and I were looking at the pictures and movies of Aliya's play. Grandpa has to look at them on my computer because his is very old and it locks up and he has to shut it down when he gets them (so please don't send him anymore, just send them to me and he can see them on my computer) anyway, on one of the movies when the kids were singing, when it first started, in the background almost drowning out the kids, the song that your Dad embeds in all of his emails, "Watching Scottie Grow", was playing. Grandpa heard it and I heard it and we commented that your Dad was covering over the kids singing with that song. I sent your Dad an email about it, and he tried to find it on what he sent and he sent it to your Mom's computer, and I went back to look for it on my computer and it was gone.......................!!!!!!!!! I believe that Scottie came for a short visit. I love it. Love, Grandma/Mom

Basketball had great mentor who could play

That is me on the far left front row. If Renee and Tristan wondered where Papa got so good playing basketball I played 2 years it was called Intermural back then or little league or whatever. But I got so good I played at the beach alot and also played with a guy in this picture he is on the far right back his name was James Allen Dean or Bubba Dean to us. Bubba played intermural and was on the high school team he is the one who nicknamed hipsley which I will explain in another picture. But Bubba at one time held the Florida title for High Jumping in Track and Field he did the fosbery flop and the height he held was 6' 6" as a sophmore in High School. Bubba had alot of athelic abilities. We also played alot in the back yard of Daryl Ziegler my best friend in high school his nickname was Big Zig. There you have my basketball career.

Story behind Sag and Gnaw

This was my freshman year at South Plantation High in Broward County we had been running wind sprints in Ft. Lauderdale where its always HOT and that is me all the way on the ground puking. The caption says Sag & Gnaw. It then says "Once again it's that time of year at Broward high schools. Young men are reporting each sweltry humid afternoon to football tryouts, and after about 2 hours of wind sprints and calisthenics, they kinda sag a little. Later will come the gnawing feeling of anxiety before the first cuts.
