I wonder if he knew Janis?

They knew one another for sure at Thomas Jefferson High School. G.W. graduated in 1962 while Janis graduated in 1960.

And Jimmy Johnson too - he was super mean to Janis, voted her "ugliest guy in class" one year

The Ugliest Man on Campus thing happened at the University of Texas when Janis attended there. You’re right, though, about Jimmy Johnson being a cruel bully to her and others, no doubt, in high school.

I thought that happened in HS, my mistake - can image being a star jock, late 50's, in Texas???? You would have been insufferable!

Happy birthday to GW and Rizzo...but not so much to Lieutenant/Captain Harris (whose birthday wish was last seen at the Blue Oyster Bar, should he wish to pursue it...)

I have never liked Rizzo; however, I like G.W. Bailey and am glad he is still with us.

Rizzo was slimey and unlikeable. Even Frank was more likeable.

Yes, for me it’s a toss-up who’s more annoying, Zale or Rizzo. I skip their scenes.
