Besides the birth of this writer, the marriage of Joy and J.T. (James Troy) Montgomery led to both teaching in Conroe. J.T. became principal of Conroe High in the 1960s and 1970s during the era when CHS was the largest in the state. Along the way, he pioneered a boxing program which played a vital role in prepping Roy Harris of Cut and Shoot to an eventual shot at the World Heavyweight boxing title while coaching junior high basketball team to a 30-2 record. All this paled before the exotic love story weaved through the surroundings of their marriage during the Christmas season of 1937.
