For the third time this summer, I had the chance to meet up with a friend from the class whom I had not seen nor heard from since we graduated 46 years ago! I wish we could have stayed and talked for much longer than the few hours we shared in Jackson, Tennessee, on my way home to California, but this time it wasn't to be... believe me, there will be a next time!
"Skins" can still run, but he says his golf handicap makes him a far better golfer than running back! After he saw the the picture I used of him, he made me promise to use the one of me he sent!
We shared stories of our times in Watertown, of football and track with Coach Poole and Coach Small, and just thoroughly enjoyed our all too brief time together...
"Skins" says he really hasn't heard from anyone until I called him out of the blue... Well, we have now heard from each other, and I hope this trend continues.
Haskins, it was so good to see you after way too long! We'll do this again, and much sooner than 46 years! You looked real good to this old interior lineman... How about some more of you guys hiding in the weeds? Come out and let's get reacquainted! I'll drive, and I'll even spring for lunch, coffee, dinner, or whatever it takes!
