By the time I gave up racing, my children were well on their way to becoming adults. For their high school years, both Teddy and Laura went away to private school. Given the ongoing tensions between them and their stepmother, this made the most sense. After returning from Cincinnati, Laura went to a boarding school in Texas, before coming back to Georgia to attend Rabun Gap School, from which she graduated in 1979.

With Teddy away at McCallie, this left our three youngest children at home, and as they grew older, Janie and I became increasingly concerned about the public schools in Atlanta. Since we weren’t sure that their grades would get them into Atlanta’s elite private schools, Janie and I came up with an idea. Why not move our family to South Carolina and live at Hope Plantation? This was a beautiful property, about thirty miles from Charleston, and there was a good private school in Walterboro named the John C. Calhoun Academy that they could attend. I couldn’t commute to Atlanta from there but I was spending so many nights sleeping in my office that this wouldn’t change our routine and I could still make it home on weekends.

The move seemed to work well and having our home base near Charleston also wound up influencing where Teddy was to attend college. I believe in the value of a military experience, so when Janie pointed out that since it was so close by, Teddy should consider The Citadel, I liked her idea a lot. I knew it was tough but I thought it would be good for his development.
