Dick Ambrose

I lived in down town Paris for 1.5 years and 1.5 years near Palace of Versailles. My father, Col. Joe Ambrose was assigned to the U.S. Embassy. I believe John Isenhower's father was his boss. Roaming the streets of Paris is what I remember most. I also remember John Davenport ('60) and I going to see THE PLATTERS perform, singing THE GREAT PRETENDER, TWILIGHT TIME, etc. Afterwards, we socialized with them. I think they thought we were USA International Playboys. Late that night they actually gave us a car ride back to my home.
Another memory is going on a train trip with Bill Ely, Dale Means & Bill Rountree to the Worlds Fair in Brussels, Belgium. It was a fun time not to be forgotten.

Looking back we must have had some very fine teachers. They seemed to have taught me in spite of myself. Without the fundamentals they drilled into me, I would never have obtained the academic skills needed to graduate from Auburn University.
