I attended East Texas State University in the 70’s and 80’s, graduating in 1982. In 1976, Dr. Stuart Anderson was instrumental in bringing the First Annual Bluegrass festival to ETSU. During the banjo competition, I won the contest by playing a tune Dr. Anderson taught me on the banjo, “Sailor’s Hornpipe”. 
Recently, the university, now Texas A&M Commerce, decided to honor the alumni by selling bricks for the alumni garden. Here is a picture of my brick in the garden.
