I'm David Hyde, from Cleburne. I grew up in a family of Baylor folks and am proudly the black sheep of the family. Company F-1, class of '79. I spent an extra semester at A&M after posting 1 D, the rest F's, due to completely blowing off school and dedicating myself to bonfire my senior year. Not because they needed me, but because I needed bonfire. Or something

I moved to Vicksburg, Mississippi in '82 in the Army and stayed in the same job as a civilian. For the most part I've loved it. The climate and the lack of wind turned me into a bike racer, which never would have happened in Cleburne (or anywhere else in Texas). That was a very fun part of my life.

In the day job we blow stuff up, which is great fun. I turned into a software geek and have a moonlighting software job that is doing reasonably well.

My F-1 old lady and (I still can't get over this) Lutheran minister is also here, but I won't out him.

What kind of software do you work with Finest?

I worked as a software analyst for a little over a year during school. Mostly had to try to recreate errors in client software and then reprogram.

I'm sure y'all remember when one of Shelby Metcalf's players presented an identical grade report? Coach said something like: "Son, it looks like you've been spending too much time on one course."
