Douglas of Bay City, Texas. Bobby Collins grew up in Bay City and graduated from Bay City High School in 1950 when he was 16 years old. He went to college at A&I in Kingsville, Texas, where he majored in journalism, because of the direct influence that Carey Smith, the Publisher and Editor of the Bay City Tribune, had on his young life. Mr. Smith was his boss, his mentor and his hero. Bobby, first was employed as a paper delivery boy, but soon Mr. Smith taught him to shoot and develop photographs, and then he taught him how to write for a newspaper. He even let Bobby use his own camera, as seen in the photo. When Bobby graduated from college at 20 years old, and received his commission as 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, he entered the Signal Corps and continued to use the skills he had learned as an apprentice to Carey Smith. Upon his retirement from the service, he became a teacher in Salinas, California.
