I went to Myrtle Beach Grammar School from 2nd to 6th grades. I would have been in the MBHS clas of '62 but actually moved away after my 6th grade. In that short time one of my fondest memories was Roddy being my scoutmaster at the church across from the high school. We had many eventful evenings playing capture the flag on the church lawn as well as camping outings at Lake Arrowhead that was mostly sand dunes with a few sand roads through it. We found many shell clips from previous military exercises. Once I cut my left foot with a 3/4 axe so he had to take me to the doctor. I was used to using a full length axe and didn't stand close enough for the shorter handle length. Of course I went back to rejoin the group. Many camping Friday nights we'd go into town to attend a HS basketball game. We normally visited the Esso station in the middle of town for natural reasons and one time the group left me at the station and I had to walk to the game. I did rejoin my Class of'62 at their 33rd reunion and have been to most of them since, many of them still best friends I communicate with weekly. The Seahawk Luncheons at Pine Lakes have been very instrumental in seeing my classmates and many not in "my" class. I have felt fortunate in being able to keep in touch. I will always remember the fun experiences we had because of Roddy!
