This is Brown Military Academy in 1956..."The Warrior" was the name of the school yearbook, where this photo was taken from...This is where my folks tried to dump me off at to get rid of me, permanent-like...but i sorta messed up their plans for me, at the time...although they did succeed in getting rid of me down there in San Diego for a whole school semester....
