Scorpion of the Week: Daryl Parker '65
Posted:
Mon Mar 10, 2008 7:16 pm
The Scorpion of the Week is Daryl Parker, Class of 1965. Daryl's page in the 1965 Scorpion yearbook includes the following:
Daryl Parker; Wyoming; Class President; Student Council Treasurer; Chorus; Dramatics; Honor Roll; "If you ask me..."
Success is a big step, but he has long legs.
A Glimpse of the Future: "This man has tried many things, for he has trouble making up his mind. Even his loving wife, Nancy, could not seem to steer him in a single course. He first thought he would play professional basketball, but when new techniques in food produced players who were two or three feet taller than he was, the competition was too great. He played the piano in a casino in Mexico City for a while and finally settled down on a cattle ranch in Wyoming where he rides the range in his Cessna. Oh, I forgot to tell you - this is DARYL PARKER."
Daryl's Senior Will was: "I, DARYL PARKER, will a pair of extra long pants to anyone with legs too long for their own."
Does anybody know where Daryl is today?

Posted:
Sat Mar 01, 2008 10:02 am
Afghanistan Alive is a new free color magazine, exploring and celebrating Afghanistan's unique identity. Its contents will include articles and photographs about Afghanistan's history, culture, religion and its natural beauty, development, business, industry and educational achievements. Every country needs a magazine which is local, proud, intelligent and interesting. The magazine is proudly Afghan.
Afghanistan Alive celebrates all that is great about Afghanistan, its people and resources.
Click on the thumbnail to read the first issue of the Afghanistan Alive magazine. I was particularly struck by the magazine's photos of the tall buildings recently erected in Kabul.
