re: Forty one years ago tomorrow

I was a Sr in High School.

I got in my car, last period to head home. When I heard the news, I drove to the football field house to tell my Head Coach. He played at Alabama in the early 70’s.

When I told him, he immediately went to his office and started calling former teammates.

He didn’t come back to school until after the funeral. I learned later that he had driven to Tuscaloosa the next day to be with his teammates and attend the funeral.
