edit data

Robert Humphreys was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and graduated from Central High School in 1968. During his teenage years, he worked at A Schwab's department store on Beale Street, where he witnessed the protest of the city's sanitation workers. He served in the army and was stationed in Vietnam in 1969 and 1970. He married his high school sweetheart in 1971. Both now reside in Decatur, Alabama.
