SPECIAL ATTRACTION #2
Grandparents add new dimension ^
By DONNA SCHLABACH
When you think of grandparents,
do you think of grey hair, bi-focals
and walking canes?
If so, you’d better add the word
“students” to your list because two
of your fellow Aggie students are
also grandparents.
Billy and Betty Boyer, who are in
their mid-40s, are full-time stu
dents, full-time parents and part-
time workers. They have lived in
College Station since January.
The Boyers have 3 children and 2
grandchildren. They live in the
Texas A&M University married stu
dent apartments with their daughter
Sara. They have another daughter
who is a sophomore in college at
Texas Southmost, and a son in the
Air Force who is stationed in Ice
land.
Billy is a graduate student major
ing in industrial education. He
teaches two freshman English
classes at A&M.
Betty is a sophomore in liberal
arts. She has not declared a major
yet, but said she will probably
choose a health-related field. She
also works at Whataburger in Col
lege Station.
Before coming here, the Boyers
lived in Brownsville, where Billy
went to school through the A&M
Extension Service and Betty at
tended college at Texas Southmost.
“It was a very traumatic experi
ence coming from such a small
school to one as big as A&M,” Betty
said. “But everyone was so helpful
and friendly that it didn’t take long
to adjust.”
The thing that amazed us was the
friendliness of the people in this
area,” Billy agreed. “We love it here
and would like to stay.”
Billy said he loves going to school
and would like to go for a doctorate
when he finishes graduate school.
He would also like to teach at A&M,
he said.
“I thoroughly enjoy teaching
here,” he said. “There’s a rapport

between the student and teacher
here that I’ve never seen anywhere
else.”
Billy said he had started college
after he got out of high school, hut
had to quit when his father died. He
then joined the Air Force.
“In those days you had to have
money to go to college. There we
ren’t any scholarships or grants-in-
aid back then,” Betty explained.
Billy retired from the Air Force
after 21 years and went to work for
General Dynamics. A few years
later he quit that job and became a
high school teacher in Brownsville.
He taught there for more than 2
years.
Betty said she had planned to go
to nursing school after she finished
high school.
“But I interrupted her educa
tion,” Billy said.
He said they met on a blind date.
He proposed to Betty the second
night and she accepted the third
night.
“And then we spent 6 months get
ting up the nerve to tell our par
ents,” Betty said. The Boyers were
married in 1950.
Twenty six years later, when
Betty sent her youngest daughter to
college, she decided it was her turn
to go to school.
“I think a lot of people think it’s
foolish for the middle-aged to go
back to school,” Billy said, “but I
have enjoyed it tremendously. I’ve
enjoyed associating with the people,
particularly at this school.”
Billy is vice president of the
Brazos Valley Association for Re-
