We were at Grandmother's and Granddaddy's house in Atlanta. I remember Bud and I were there with Mom and Dad who had dressed us up from head to toe in Georgia Tech gear. I remember being in the "blue" living room throwing around a football and Dad was teaching us the Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech song so that we would be prepared for the football game. It was homecoming- Mom and Dad took us to Dad's fraternity house where we met a few of his old friends from college. I remember the place smelling like stale beer. I was so excited for the day. Before the game, we watched the homecoming parade- huge floats came down the street that the students of Georgia Tech had engineered. Some of them were great, but I mostly remember laughing as Dad told us how most of the floats collapse before the end and recalling his days as a Yellow Jacket. I don't remember much about the actual game, but I do remember how much fun I had that day, all dressed up for Georgia Tech's big day and getting to spend the entire day with Mom, Dad and Bud.
