Gordon Walters' story about Alan's intelligence

Alan had a photogenic memory -- he could memorize the numbers on the train cars as the train went by!  We played softball on a team and Alan had such a strong arm that he could throw from deep center field all the way into the catcher.  Later on he began to pitch for us and when he got better, no one could hardly hit off of him and he went to college and pitched very well.  When we were teenagers a group of us decided to soap some windows after church one night, so we went over to Bethany Christian High School and soaped their windows.  However Dave Weldy went to school there and knew that on Monday they were going to have a test and that Alan knew the answers.  So Alan wrote the answers on the windows backwards so they could be read inside.  Well, the principal who was C.J. Hollaway also went to our church and found out that it was us!  And we were told we could not play basketball at the school anymore until we would come and clean the windows.  So we went before a game, cleaned them and got back into playing ball again.   -Gordon Walters
