THROWBACK THURSDAY

From my high school yearbook, my 1958 Senior picture.

My 7-year-older brother had earned the nickname, Tiger, for his ferocious play in sports.

I used to tag after him as he went to practices. One of his coaches nicknamed me "Little Tiger", which became "Little Tige" and eventually morphed to "Cougar".

I was "Cougar" from then on and was startled at my 10th high school reunion by hearing someone call me by that forgotten name.

And I have no memory of being a Prom Waiter!

    You look better now. More worldly.

    Cougar is a much better nickname than the one I was saddled with, which I'll keep to myself.

    You were a handsome lad. A Clark Kent type!

    I agree with Mr. Cochrun, but I'd suggest a young Marlon Brando.

    Cougar takes on a whole different meaning today. I'm seeing Clark.

    Heh, heh. First offender!

    I'm guessing that Prom Waiter was an honor.
