Doc really is my legal first name (I come from a very funny family). My parents gave me a nice normal middle name to use if I so desired- "Michael". I used it for about a year in 7th grade, but since everyone was still making fun of the "Pepper" part anyway, I soon switched back to Doc.

I just googled myself to see if I could find some "credentials" and found a web page http://genforum.com/pepper/page3.html I'm on it as someone who supplied a reference to Jesse James Pepper who was my great grandfather (like I said, I come from a very funny family).

When I'm not honkytonking with Wrecks, I'm also a stamp collector- an expert in United States Newspaper stamps (whatever those were). http://home.comcast.net/~pepperclan/

Actually, my wife took most of them (and Liz!). Lincoln's was too blurry to use.

The encyclopedia is VERY strict when it comes to copyright infringement, so I need the full name (M = ?), unless of course Doc is your legal first name. I certainly would appreciate using your nice photos.

Hey Dave, permission to use photos granted. My real name really is Doc M. Pepper.

These are better shots of Liz and Lincoln both- I notice you only took pictures of Liz :) and some pretty good shots of Ray, Bonnie, and Hayes.

P.S. My son, Ryan Pepper (Junior at U of Texas) is very interested in your specialty. He just got accepted into a molecular genetics program at M.D. Anderson via a U of T program of some sort (my wife keeps track of details). I think at one point Ryan was looking into U of Texas Galveston as well. You might also know Lavina LaGrone who works down there.

Glad you liked the pictures! I had a blast at Singaree!!
