Sam, my mother taught HS English to ALL of the Murphy kids in the 1930s.

she still talks about his HIJINKS! and was VERY proud of him.

SADLY, he was NOT well-liked by the townsfolk at home because his family "pulled onions" for a very poor living. when he came home from war, he was asked NOT to visit his sisters on the campus & was NOT given a homecoming party.

the TXARNG rememied that ommission in the late sixites!

It's really neat that your mom was a teacher to Audie Murphy!

It's a shame he was treated that way by his home town, we're not supposed to be a "class" based society.
