- "One of my fondest memories of Heights were the
thunderstorms.
I can remember sitting in the window of my room in Chapel watching the
rain fill the potholes and run down the street. As the trees got
saturated the soft clean smell would fill the air, and with the added
ozone from the lightning, it was a renewal of the atmosphere.
Several times we would sit and watch for the hour or so it took the
storms to blow through, even at two in the morning. I never seemed to
miss the sleep when I awoke to that damn bugle, refreshed and ready for
another day on the Hill."

- Col. Dan T. "Hey You Boy!"
Ingram - commandant, who taught Army of Northern Virginia history for U.S. History.
Major Sweat who taught biology and lectured to us (including his son) on the moral
application of biloogy to human beings.
Major Leftwich who reported for the Nashville Banner and Tennessee as a stringer, in
between classes in geometry and advanced algebra - and did a memorable job of each.
... And many other stories which are probably still actionable if any of those involved
still live, God bless 'em all!

- Nearly thirty years have passed and I have to say that very few people have influenced
my life more than the unique individuals who not only taught on the Hill but made it a life
as well. The dedication of these men was nothing short of phenomenal. I know their paychecks
never reflected the heart that they put into the job. I will forever be in their debt. Mr.
Eubanks said it just right,
"God Bless 'Em All!"

- Once a "Heightsman", always a "Heightsman". We are all family, not by
geneology, but by association. And our bondship is stronger than that of any family geneology.
