From the Past

(55 years ago)

When we returned to Houston in 1966, the movers lost some of our keepsakes, among them copies of 1953-54 Arkansas Travelers. This was the University of Arkansas daily student newspaper, of which I was managing editor my senior year. I recently mentioned my loss to a staff member of the UA Alumni Association. She did some digging in the archives, and a few weeks ago, FedEx delivered a bound set (all 118 issues) of the 1953-54 Traveler. She had found a duplicate set in the archives. I am currently lost in the '50s as I scan these jewels, looking for my bylines and columns I wrote, as well as the words"Managing Editor Ferrell Moore" on the masthead (list of editors and writers). Was I ever that young?
