I took my wife to the Drs office in Overland Park, KS for an appointment and while I was sitting there, a man walked by, stopped in front of me and stared. I had on my TMI 2000 T-shirt and then he said TMI!!! I looked at his white banlon type shirt and there was Columbia Military Academy. We chatted and he indicated that he had just returned from his 50th reunion. Small World.

Reunion 2000 was first I have attended but will not be the last. 2003 is '53s 50th and I hope that we will be able to get just about everyone there.

I remember those cool mornings before breakfast, and the smell of the trees that surrounded the hill during my stay at TMI. Then the afternoons in math class where Col. (and football coach!) Haynes was "tricked" into talking about football strategy instead of algebra. One of the smartest staff members there was Col. Price (taught chemistry when I was on the hill). Then, of course, toward evening--during the months when the weather could really get hot (the flies and insects seemed to sweat as much as we did during study period--until they got caught in the lamp shades we turned around to catch the insects as they got attracted to the light of the inverted lamp) and, thus, got roasted. (And after two or three nights, one had to dump the insect carcasses into the garbage because the lamp shade was filled up with dead bugs!). And then the quick dash to a room of a friend to have a short chat before lights out was bugled. It could be the soft, golden tarnish of memory, but when reading the newspapers and living life as one does, I often have the feeling that our time on the hill was something pretty special. Take care, Cadets! -- JB

so,i streaked naked through the campus during a home basketball game. that alone should've been enough to get me expelled. getting caught drinking on the golf course after hours sure did'nt do it. i tried every way i could to get out of there, but somehow by the grace of god and col. price, i graduated despite myself. it was a great school, and i have many fond and even bizzare memories of my three and half years there. if you went there from '72-'75, i'd love to hear from you. and even if you went there other years,let me hear from you and we'll have some fun. by the way, sarg's cooking has left me seriously demented. cjb.

Hi Mike Davisson, SMA 1970. I remember my last TMI vs SMA football game. In fact it is hard to forget since I gave up two front teeth in the contest!!

Just wanted to thank you for your site. I graduated in 1970 from Sewanee Military Academy and am sorry to see that TMI is also no longer what it once was. SMA, TMI, Castle Heights, Columbia Military... all "gone" though most of their facilities still su vive. In '68, '69 and '70 I was on the SMA Cross-Country and Track teams. Competed against your teams several times. I remember the long bus rides and the smelly paper mills on the way. I also remember that we usually won! You might be happy to know hat your school looks much like New Mexico Military Institute where I sent my son. Thanks again for a place to talk. --MD

Seems like yesterday that we had our infamous nightly runs to the A&W burger stand. Of course there were times that we would meet Major Joe Sherlin while sneaking back into the room. Had to work off the demerits or do the "bend over " his desk and meet hi famous paddle. Would like to hear from others that attended during the 57-60 years.

Congratulations on the Web page. I am originally from Chattanooga, and attended TMI for one year in 1957. During that year, my parents moved to Richmond, VA so I did not return to TMI. I have many memories of the place, and I am glad to know there are other who are interested. Best Wishes, Ronny

This is a great idea. Hope to link up with some of you guys from the mid to late '60s. If you haven't visited the old campus in the last few years, some looks just the same but some is a lot different. I hear the food is much better.
