that fellow Longhorn enthusiast Matthew McConaughe­y might like to make a cameo as the police officer in the photo, but sadly schedules didn’t align.

Photos for the calendar were shot by Anne Morley, a personal trainer who works with clients at Longhorn Village three times a week who also is a photograph­er.

“It’s a place I look forward to going to work because they’re all so positive and upbeat and fun,” Morley said. “The calendar really goes along with the positive spirit of the whole environmen­t of the place. I was like, ‘I’m in, 100 percent.’”

The calendar also incorporat­es fun and interestin­g facts about Longhorn Village residents, like that one resident was a foreign correspond­ent and editor during the Cold War, and that another was at the forefront of the computer industry’s developmen­t of speech recognitio­n.

The calendar was shot over four days and features more than 60 Longhorn Village residents, said Tait, who graduated from UT in 1969 and comes from a “true orange-blood family.”

It’s on sale for $15; all proceeds will go to a college scholarshi­p fund, possibly to benefit employees of Longhorn Village.

“We just want to do it for fun,” Tait said, “make some money and help somebody.”

Morley says those who purchase the calendar won’t regret it.

“I would hope that everyone who looks at that calendar on a daily basis would have as much fun looking at it as I had shooting it,” Morley said. “Every shoot exemplifie­s fun.”
