50th Anniversary of the BYU Honors Program

Although my first semester at BYU in the Fall of 1960 was a total disaster, I was invited to the 50th anniversary of the Honors Program anyway. After six months active duty at Fort Ord with the U.S. Army Reserves and a two year eight month mission to Argentina for the LDS Church, I enrolled at BYU again in the fall of 1964 and sailed through a BA, MA and earned a PhD at Duke. I sometimes think that all 18 year-old males should be prohibited from going to college for a few years after high school until their brains get organized and their hormones calm down. Bob and Shauna Valentine are right in the middle of the picture. It is hard to miss Bob's huge shiny cranium.
