The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

On Moving Day-- Yuck!!-- Part 2

These are the places I've lived and roughly the time frame.

Born--
Goldsboro, NC-- two places: apartment and then rented home (1951 to 1954)
Raleigh, NC-- two places: a rental home and house Dad bought (1954 to 1960) kindergarten to 3rd grade

Jacksonville, Fla-- Dad bought a house (1960) half of 4th grade
Greenville, NC-- Rental house (1961-1962) second half of 4th, all of 5th

Rolling Meadows, Il-- rental house (1962-1963) 6th grade
Palatine, Il-- Dad bought house (1963 to 1970) 7th to 12th grades and freshman year in college

Then, my family moved to Dunwoody, Ga, outside of Atlanta and lived there from 1970 to 1989.


COLLEGE YEARS 1969-1973

Dekalb, Il--(Northern Illinois University) Lincoln Hall dorm and Delta Sig house (1969 to 1971) freshman and sophomore years

Athens, Ga-- (University of Georgia) two dorms and a trailer (1971-1972) junior year

Dekalb, Il-- (Northern Illinois University) apartment (1972-1973) senior year

Palatine, Il-- last quarter at Liz's parents' house while doing student teaching and two months until we got our apartment. (1973)

Not counting college, that would be ten times my family moved from birth to sophomore year in college. There are seven more for myself in college. A total of 17 places. I guess I am above the dozen average.
