- Began in College of Arts and Sciences, with designated major in chemistry on 4 year tract
- {Aside}: MBMSrMD, this reporter, believed could have played professional football depending on consistent injury-free status, but pulled-out of Coach Charlie Bradshaw UK Football Program for the study of Medicine which was a significantly much more mental, time-consuming and exhausting profession. "Pulled-out" from Coach Charlie Bradshaw Football Program Tragedy. In 1962 Bradshaw, a Bear Bryant disciple, replaced 1961 University of Kentucky recruiting Head football Coach Blanton Collier. The problem was that Bradshaw did not know when to stop the physical and psychological abuse like Bryant knew how to quit.
- Bradshaw did not know, like Coach Bear Bryant knew, when to stop breaking his Athletes' noses to spite their faces. Bradshaw didn't know when to stop his cruel, abusive behaviors and over-reactions and prevent his own self-destruction.
- Bradshaw gave this reporter an ultimatum i.e. either play Football or study Medicine.
- Bradshaw intended to reduce his 'keepers' to 'lesser' players as defined by Bear Bryant in his 'Sports Illustrated' biography by Frank Deford, Nov 23, 1981.
- No one within the Bradshaw coaching staff was very 'offensive football minded'. Bradshaw had begun a Tuesday and Thursday football course for the UK student civilians and we football players were to be the demonstrators in full gear. It was to be another practice time for the Athletes and 2 credits for UK student civilians. This reporter, who was expertly trained in offensive football was to be the lead instructor. The Problem was the 'football course' conflicted with a Botany pre-med requirement and this reporter could ill afford to drop the required class. Thus the ultimatum reached a painful decision point. Thankfully, this reporter's priorities were in the correct positions.
- "Pulling-out was not quitting, but moving from a corrupt Athletic program to a better opportunity," as defined by sagacious Coach Roy Walton, Tates Creek High School, Lexington, KY......58 of the 1962 UK team "pulled-out" leaving 30,

- Medical Practice. 'Giving back' and striving to make a difference was the hallmark of this reporter's Medical Practice. There were many more glamorous and better financial opportunities, but somehow those were not important. Making a difference in his community was more important:
- Ophthalmology residency positions were few in number and this reporter had to wait-out his residency opportunity while practicing general medicine.

•Record 20 high school Athletic Letters in 4 major High School Sports , Football, Baseball, Basketball, Track, at Paintsville High School. The above pictured official Athletic Letter presented to Mike Minix his senior year 1660-1961 by Coach Brugh, a school official, is considered the record number of Athletic Letters in 4 major High School Sports at PHS and will stand until an official letter with greater than 20 letters in 4 major High School Sports is presented to a PHS Athlete his or her senior year by a PHS school official. Athletes paid for their sweaters and the official letters were provided by PHS. The letter sweater was professionally assembled, shadow-boxed and hung in the PHS gymnasium lobby, at PHS Superintendent Paul Winston Williams request ~1996. The Lobby was being refurbished and included other Athletes' memorabilia. Superintendent Paul Winston Williams requested the memorabilia shadow-box with the 20 letter sweater and it was provided to him and PHS. The 20 letters were the record regarded by Superintendent Paul Williams at the time of his request and are regarded as the PHS record in 4 major High School Sports, today until the record is officially surmounted by an official letter in 4 major sports presented to an Athlete and presented by PHS dated their senior year. Verbal, anecdotal claims and later dated PHS School Athletic letters in 4 major sports are not official.
