'J bil ' l B! ff al 1:53 ' Sunsets lure bird trainer Birds, cameras and dune buggies were among hobbies Ile played the guitar. flew airplanes. learned photography. built dune buggies and tatned par- rots. Ile was senior 'l'ommy Townsend. Ile did these projects because he felt they were a good way to spend extra time. Ile had always been interested in flying and felt that it would be interesting to fly towards sunsets and tops of trees. Ile commented, great deal of people just dream about it and don't get to do itg l decided l was going to do it. Tommy spent his time in the air in a Cessna ISU ll at Oliver Ifarm Airport in Saginaw. Ile was only able to fly once every two or three weeks because the cost to fly was 550 an hour. 'llo become eligible to receive his pilots license. 'lomniy had to take a lfederal Aviation Administration test. and had to have -IO hours of flight time. In addition to flying. Tommy also enjoyed playing the guitar. Ile owned ll guitars - a Gib- son Flying V. an lnter Telecaster. a pile of junk twelve string. and eight non-electric guitars. Ile and a group of guys performed at a dance at lioswell lligh School. Ile explained that it was embarrassing. XVhile I was playing. my guitar came unplugged. and my amp fell flat on its face. 'llommy and his group played mostly rocka and-roll, borrowing tunes from groups like l,ed Zeppelin. and Cheap Trick. but they also played country tunes upon request for the dances. Ilowever. they were limited to songs by Willie Nelson. Besides flying airplanes and playing the guitar. 'ljommy enjoyed taking pictures for the joura nalism department. Ile had been taking pictures for three years. and liked the kinds of' pictures that could be taken with a 'vi mm camera. Ile mentioned the thing he liked best about photography. lt's kind of' like painting. more or less. You get to design the scene the way you want to. to take the photograph. Nobody can tell you the subject matter of your pictures. and there is always something to take a picture off loin- my. who invested in his own personal camera, had considered photography as a career. Iloweyer. he also said he reali7ed there is not a lot of money in photography. at least not at first. laming his two Nande Cionures and building his dune buggy were the other projects Tommy spent his extra time. Ile kept the two rare birds in a six foot cage at his home in his backyard. Ile taught them many tricks including how to sit on his shoulders and to kiss people. Ile serviced his dune buggy at his dads warehouse, where Tommy stored it, Ile was building it from the ground up and did not use the help of a converter kit. Tommy planned one day to go sky diving. a thrilling and exciting experience, He wanted to take on the thrill and challenge of sky diving, although he had never attempted it. 22 ,WY ,

Carol had been riding and working with horses since she was three or four years old. My mom had horses when she was little, and we have had them since we were little bitty. There has always been a horse around, she commented. Not only did she ride horses, but she also entered them in contests. She showed Ebony's Motion, which is just one of her three Tennessee Walking horses. She has also shown King Elito and Bald Eagle. Carol won World Championships in 1975, 1978 and 1979. She was a North American Champion horseman of the year for the Southwest Walking Horse Breeders Associa- tion, and the juvenile High Point Champion, to name a few. She showed Ebony's Motion at different places including Baton Rouge, La., Selbyville, Tenn., Houston, San Antonio, Fort Worth Stock Show and the Texas State Fair in Dallas. When I ride, I don't think or worry about anything else. I just think about riding, she answered when asked about what she liked best about her horses. The worst thing, she added. is whenever they act dumb, by trying to throw me off or run off with me. It's embarrassing when they do that in a show. Showing horses may have been her favorite hobby, but Carol also painted and sketched and sewed and played tennis doubles with Sherri May. Carol's parents own the Chapman Medical Clinic, where Carol worked part-time. Carol won many ribbons in the art shows at school. She specializes in oil, water color and pastels.
