Here's the story of a lovely lady

Barb Evelyn Houser
My drama teacher in High School, Ms. Jacqui Lynn started calling me this, and I was too shy to tell her that I didn't like that version of Barbara.

Bobbie Evelyn Houser
After high school I went to Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas. I did not want to be either: one of those students who go two or three years and then drop-out, or one of those perpetual students who go five, six or seven years and still have not graduated so I was determined to make my decision after the first year as to whether or not I wanted to continue my formal education. Well, I really didn't make that decision - I simply failed to register for classes the next Fall. So, since the school doesn't consider you a student if you don't register for classes, I was no longer a student. Through my lack of making a decision the decision was made for me - I was a drop-out.
