PERSONAL INFORMATION:
Married Laquita Scaife in June of 1973. We had three children Ashley, age 31, Amber, age 28 and Joe, age 25. Divorced in 1988. I have three grandchildren Allibeth, age 4, Jackson, age 8 months and McKenzie, age 3 months. With a wrestling scholarship I went to Southern Illinois in 1970. Marine Corps from 1971-1974. I graduated from Belmont College in 1978 and Southern Seminary at Louisville in 1984. M. Div at Peabody College of Vanderbilt Univ. in 1991. I have been a butcher, Baptist Minister, High School Teacher and Wrestling Coach, Small Business Owner-Meat Packing Business. I’ve been sky diving. I’m a Blue Water Certified Scuba, I’ve been rappelling, I’ve sailed a 35ft. sloop on the open sea, I’ve laid on some beautiful beaches, I’ve really enjoyed being a father and grandfather.
MHS STORIES/MEMORIES:
One night when they were building the Interstate and cutting down Taylor’s Hill some guys and I went up there in my jeep to climb the newly created rock walls with me were Donnie Huff and Jeff Hickey. The police came up and inquired about our activities. They didn’t believe us. With their flashlight they searched the Jeep and surrounding areas. Coming up empty they asked “Where are the Girls?” Where’s your beer?” We had neither. With a perplexed countenance he asked “What’s wrong with you boys? Don’t you know it’s Saturday night?” That old Jeep served me well. During summer two-a-day practices our junior year I regularly chauffeured 10 or more guys home on our side of Dickerson Road. You’d find Jeff Woodcock, Coby Harper, Wally Carson, Ray Allen, Noel Walters, Ken Haas, Bobby Eaton, Bill Spitel, all piled on the seats, fender, hood and running boards…That was before seat belt laws.
