TIDE-HSV, Well, I guess Decatur has three. Bradley D Tuggle, from Decatur, won a Rhodes Scholarship in 2000. RTR

TIDE-HSV, I was an English minor at UA in the mid-80's. Decatur, Alabama has produced a couple of Rhodes Scholars for The University of Alabama. Now, I know why his name is familiar. RTR

TIDE-HSV, Not personally, but the name sounds familiar. RTR
