Both LaRue and I waited until our later college years to pledge, LaRue because he was married with kids and me because I had pursued football at other campus's. This guy was a character straight out of a comic strip. He would be casted as a large Southern Colonial with a convincing commanding nature. We both signed up in an elective photography class and went around campus convincing anyone who would pose that their photo would be published. I spent time at his large home with his first wife and kids as she had East Texas oil money. At one large dinner with his wife's extended family, I picked up that LaRue had targeted his b-n-l to light the guys short fuse on politics, we had that guy screaming and stomping out in no time. LaRue went on to Baylor Law with brother Johnny Ament, so I went to Waco just to visit and they convinced me to go with them to interview with the Dean to enter Law school, but when he realized I was Vietnam draft bate, he declined. I regret I never saw LaRue practice law or serve in his court, it had to be epic! Rest in Peace brother, you were one of a kind!
