Give the man an Ag Tag!!!!
So much for the Uncover Nazis you see at games now....they are way off.
I'd like to hear more about your time at A&M...if you don't mind sharing some stories with us.

These are extraordinary photos! Thank you sir.
Looks like there was a press box or something like it on both sides, a small one on the student side and a bigger one on the west side. (to answer the question of the guy who asked about the picture being backwards)

Do you remember what type of camera you used?
Also, forgive my ignorance, did many students have cameras?
It was some type of Kodak camera. Had 12 pictures per roll. It was hard to find film for it and usually even harder to find a place to develop the film.
Lots of students had some type of camera.

are those girls from kilgore, the dance team?
Don't remember exactly but yes, I'm pretty sure those are the girls from Kilgore.

is the 2nd photo developed backwards? It looks like there's a press box on the student side
Back in those days it was a "scout" box. Since game films were not available, opposing team(s) coaching staff would occupy that box to watch the team they were going to play that season (be it the Ags or the visiting team we were playing at the time).
Here are some more.

While I'm happy to share some pictures from the war, I simply ask that you respect my request to not ask me any stories regarding them.
Le Mans, France Aug. 1944
Toul, France Oct. 1944
Germany April 1945
Typical blown bridge near Boppard, Germany
Assessing the situation
Treadway bridge. 6th Calvary Sqd. crossing 36 hrs. after assault.
Nurnburg, Germany May 1945
You'll notice in the pictures that America and her allies took great caution in not bombing churches. Although they did sustain some collateral damage, they were still left intact while the surrounding city is in complete ruin.
One of Hitler's stadiums
German destroyed ME 109's
Christmas in France
Do you think the EPA would let us go back to burning tires on Bonfire?
Awesome pics.

Yep Mr. 1944, those churches in Nuernberg are still there. I was there this past summer and the more brickish one is right where yall left it .. at the Market Square next to the fountain. The other one is called the St. Lorenz church and I heard an organ concert there 4 years ago, its also right where yall left it.
The Nazi parade grounds at the Zeppelinfeld (you call it a stadium) however were first blown up famously by the US Army, then later blown up by the German government and are slowly being grown over by weeds. Im sure you can appreciate that as well.

The credit for that goes to my youngest son (Class of 95). Without him, I never would have figured it out.
Thank you, 1944.
Do you remember a WR Moore? My granddad went through A&M about that time. ME.
