Posse hunts down Dave Aldous

"Mama Don't Let Your Babies
Grow Up to be Cowboys"
JHS Boomer correspondent Rick Beresford has tracked down Dave Aldous. He reports that Dave, JHS Class of '65, has been in the Nashville area since 1980. Dave hasn't been in contact with anyone from Alex and, he says, that's not because he's been hiding from the law or anything.

Dave runs a building and remodeling business, and has learned the trade well.

His two sons are also both self-employed in the construction business. Troy, 36, builds sunrooms and cell phone towers around Nashville, and has one of Dave's grandchildren; his son Nicholas, 34, runs a company that builds residential swimming pools in San Diego, and has Dave's other two grandkids.

Rick and Dave talked horses. Dave has not only done a fair bit of riding through the years, but is a sharpshooter, which means he fires at targets while at a gallop. Here's a photograph of Dave.

Turns out Dave Aldous grew up to be a cowboy!
