CHS '59er's tribute to the late Gus Woods

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.  Robert Currey
