Well Gus was certainly skinny and smart. And as a matter of fact he basically wrote my term paper for Ms. Phelps after Creed Bates told my mother that I would pass if I completed the work. We worked on it at the UC library so as not to be seen and I believe it cost me ten dollars, that's $10. My lack of interest confounded Gus but it seemed reasonable to me at the time. I passed! We were at Fort Jackson in the fall of '59 and rode back to Chattanooga together that Christmas. I believe it was last time I saw Gus.
