Next week, should be very interesting as long time Athlete, Coach, Faculty Member, Marine, Administrator and Author at UTM, Bob Carroll visits and enlightens us on the long history of the College on the UTM campus.

Bob attended the University back when it was a Junior College in the early 1950s. He was the captain of the football team at that time and received MVP accolades both years as a player. From UTMB, he transferred to the University of Wyoming, where he received Academic All American and honors graduate in 1956. He received his Masters Degree in History from Ole Miss, and began his coaching career at UTM in 1957. Coach Carroll served as head football coach from 1957 until 1974. He is the all time winningest coach in UT Martin History. His 1967 Team won the Tangerine Bowl to win the Atlantic Coast Division National Championship.

Influenced by stories of UTJC from his father-in-law, Edward Clifton Pritchett, he undertook the writing of the History of the University of Tennessee Martin; The First One Hundred Years. Of which we will get some excerpts

Last Week, Union City Rotarians had all eyes turned toward a group of talented youngsters led by a young lady who has had to have spent a lot of her free time in training these kids , because the show they put on was extremely entertaining.

The show got off to a slightly delayed start, as we had to have a "clean up" in aisle three, but after that I think these kids could have passed the hat during and after their performance, and could have had enough money to have a pretty good Christmas for themselves.

The talents these children displayed, and the dedication of the Teachers, Children, Parents and Grandparents should make us all very proud that we are seeing future generations who are willing and able to make this country proud.
