Your Location: Enid, Oklahoma Comments: Richard, you have expressed my feelings about Jake Carter perfectly. Of course, the attributes that you have used to describe Jake, also describe what I remember about you, also. Oh, Jake would be the first one to tell you that he wasn't always perfect, but I certainly learned from him (and you) that hard work and discipline pay off in basketball and in life. It is that hard work and discipline that usually distinguish the champions from the rest of the pack. I felt like I learned how to be a winner from Jake Carter and guys like you, and Lowry and Steve. In a strange way, I always felt like the '63 team was with us on the floor during our magical 64 season. Norman Grey '64
Your Location: RGV Comments: As I wrote in the obituary online guest book of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, Mr. Carter was my rock at Adamson. He was my source for stability, discipline, work, and commitment. I am so grateful to him for those influences. Win or lose, I always admired his dignity and respected him more than anyone. He helped make Adamson a very special place for many young people and he will always be alive and well in my heart.
Your Location: Houston,Texas Comments: There were few that made so many much better than they would have been; Jake Carter was one of the few. Sadness at his passing and many excellent memories of the time he spent with us. Rest in Peace Mr. Carter!
Your Location: Enid, Oklahoma Comments: What a downer. Coach Carter and Dick Clark both leave us the same week! My teenage years would not have been the same without them. Wish we could all get into a time machine and go back there for a few days. Norman Grey '64
Your Location: Dallas Comments: My mistake -- Coach Carter's funeral is Saturday, April 21 at 4 p.m. at Laural Land.
Your Location: Dallas Comments: Sad news -- Basketball Coach Jake Carter has passed away. Service will be at 4 p.m. Sunday, April 22, at LauralLand.
Your Location: RGV Comments: Lowry - After Bubba Watson won the Masters on Sunday, I'll say that hope springs eternal for all you duffers. It's reported he never had a golf lesson or watched a video of his swing. He just played and figured out things as he went along. Now that's a simple approach. Good luck to you all at Stevens Park.
Your Location: Houston Comments: Yesterday I enjoyed a round of golf with Charlie Woodard (SOC 63). I'm looking forward to playing in the Adamson golf outing. We need more 63 folks to play.
Your Location: Mesquite Comments: Guess I missed it, but what was it that was introduced on the '57 Chevy??..Ron, been a long time since T.I. Hope you are doing well..

Your Location: Cedar Park / Austin Comments: Three days of High School Basketball! Kimball won the - 4A Division and Flower Mound Marcus - 5A. Yes, it is this late.
Your Location: Memphis, Tn Comments: Mary McCord Bach, a SOC Cheerleader/ 62-63 and also one of those 'original Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders', has cancer and numerous tumors. She is not doing well and needs prayers. She was at Zumwalt in jr high.. She's been a long serving Middle School Music Teacher in Conroe, Texas. If there are any Leopards that were acquainted with Mary and if not, offer up a prayer..for her, anyway.. Thanks. Have a nice weekend.. (Not many Lady Leopards posting on here..guys.) SOC Ginger 
Your Location: Enid, Oklahoma Comments: Lowry, Yeah, memories of 64 and how we used to own Kimball. I remember the last zone game we had against Kimball in 64 and how they thought they had come up with a magic defense to upset Adamson. They double teamed Bullock and I all night. It worked to the extent that Bullock got 6 points and I got 5, but we took what they gave us, the other guys picked up the slack, and we beat them by 30 points! They weren't smart enough to figure out that you could not ignore Hammond, Williams, Gorman and Ward. Our offense wasn't designed for them to usually score alot of points, but they could if they had to. Guess that's the sign of a solid, well-coached team. Wish I was there with you, Lowry! Norman
Your Location: Cedar Park / Austin Comments: State Basketball Tournament - Dallas Kimball won last night. This always brings back memories of 1964.
Your Location: Houston Comments: Another old baseball player, Parke Davidson, will join me at the Adamson golf tournament this year. We are also playing golf next week in the Austin area. Bill, I don't think I could hit a 80 MPH pitch! I had to retire from little league for the same reason.
Your Location: Dallas Comments: Norman, You're probably right. If I live long enough, I'll be able to claim I broke 80 mph.
Your Location: Enid, Oklahoma Comments: Bill and Hooper, you guys have it all wrong. They have a half-time radio interview show during our high school football games up here, during which high school stars of yesteryear were interviewed by the radio commentator, who was also a past high school star. The show was called " The Older We Get, The Better We Were". That should be our approach when discussing our high school careers, don't you think? Now.....I remember each of your throws always being picture perfect, as were mine! Norman Grey '64
Your Location: RGV Comments: Bill - I remember with chagrin some of my throws to first that went into orbit. If you get a chance to see it, "Moneyball" is a pretty good movie about computers changing the game.
Your Location: Dallas Comments: Richard, I feel the itch...but I'm fearful the thing might fly off and go into orbit. Regards, Bill
Your Location: RGV Comments: Bill - I'm withholding her name to protect the innocent. Old, yes. Romantic, no; just foolish ego. It's almost spring. Do you feel that itch to start loosening up that arm? I'm thinking about holding out for a better contract. With this economy, I can't afford to pay as much to let me play. |
