Forget Head Scratchers. My REAL first book was “University Park Football” and had a release date of Fall, 1968. The book tells about a game involving the University Park Mustangs (we lived in the Dallas enclave of University Park and my to-die-for team was the SMU Mustangs) who were led by a quarterback named “Rex.”

Head Out On The Highway, Looking For Adventure
You know who was Born To Be Wild, don’t you? It’s in every fiber of my being, obviously. Actually, as part of our ministry of empowerment in South Asia, we distributed about 40 bicycles and two motorbikes. I reluctantly left this one here. Too bad. It was such a perfect fit.
