Digger was a true "Maverick" and as such was able to do and get away with things most of us could never achieve. Some of the stories I have posted about his time at BYU illustrate this point very well. The following is yet another of his antics while there.
Digger had seats in the Faculty section of the Smith Field house and attended all basketball games. I remember one time he had one of his men install a blow horn, that made a loud obnoxious sound when activated, installed up in the catwalks of the Field house with a wire that ran to a button under his seat. The next time there was a home game, Digger "Blew His Horn" as a cheer for the Cougs. After about three or four times of the horn blast, they stopped the game to locate the horn at which time he made a hasty disappearing act so as to not get caught. The next week he had the horn and button removed. And yes, you guessed it, he didn't get into trouble.

LOL, LOL, LOL, that's my Digger.
Lynn: I'll bet your dad was the cause of gray hair in some of his teachers in younger days and perhaps their little ulcers started biting on the bigger ones. It seems he was always able to "wiggle" out of some bad situations. Did you inherit a bit of this from Digger? I enjoyed the story. Did they ever find out who/how/when/where on the big horn?
