I have fond memories of your college as I was a Cadet there in the Army Air Corps in 1943. I went on to complete pilot training and and ended up flying B-25 and B-24 aircraft during WW11. While at Birmingham Southern College, We drilled with wooden rifles called Splinterfields as the real mccaw was in short supply. I would love to have one today as a momento. Hope Carolina wins tomorrow and thanks for the momeries. I loved it there. Do you still have Sady Hawkins Day? Bob
