Featured Classic Classmate Stories
There are several classmate stories on this site, below is a list of my favorites. Some of these stories are buried throughout the site and you might not notice them or skip right by them, so below I've made it easy.
For the next few weeks I'm going down the list and hyperlink each story so as to make it easy to click on. A couple of weeks ago #1 was available on the site front page, if you haven't read it please do, it's a classic. This week I've highlighted #2, it too is a great story.
Hope you enjoy all of them in the days to come.

Harold Twing
It’s a Long Way from Thurleigh to Amarillo, Texas
For those who knew Harold Twing at Thurleigh England (see Thurleigh),
he was a good B-17 waist gunner and well respected as an air crewman. He could always
be counted on in the heat of battle at 25,000 feet. Generations of high school
students in Amarillo, Texas knew nothing about Twing‘s World War II exploits.
Mr. Twing, as they called him, owned Twing‘s Drive-In near Palo Duro High
School on Amarillo’s northside. For many he was a man to be feared. Twing
thought nothing of picking up an order of burgers and fries and delivering them
himself to the car parked out front. While there, he made sure that everything
was on the up and up. If you parked at Twing‘s Drive-In, you would have a great
time with your friends and then cruise on into the night down Polk street.

Bobby Nowak Memorabilia
At Bobby's Celebration, I ask Ashton (his son) if I could borrow and scan some of Bobby's memorabilia, he agreed. Bobby's mother must have been very proud of her son because there's quite a collection.
