My HS PE teacher was Richard Huckee . He made it all the way to 1st alternate , I want to say Safety , played about half of the last quarter of his first preseason game for the Saints . Last practice of the preseason he zigged his right foot zagged . I guess the rolled ankle would have been ok but he went down in front of one of those 1975/6 450# linemen and got stepped on and before he could the backer tripped and fell on him . That's how a promising rookie guard/safety gets cashed out for a half season a knee and ankle overhaul and a 1 way ticket home to be a HS football coach and PE teacher .
The closest thing I had to an older brother worked for Sparkletts to pay his way through college delivered water to Rosie Greer , drove a 57 T bird and dated Miss California 72' or 74' I can't remember now . She taught me to thumb punch milk goats , I was like 4-4-1/2 . I looked it up once , I think she was actually a runner up .
I've spent my whole life like Monte Python's Brian of Nazerath about 15 minutes late for anything resembling fame .
