I once shook hands with J. Dallas Shirley. Haven't washed that hand since. My oldest brother roomed with Ronnie Nunn in college. As a point guard, he practiced great ref mechanics. My 2nd oldest brother roomed with the original Walt Szczerbiak, and, I can spell his name without looking it up. His son goes by 'Wally' for simplicity. Had the pleasure of watching young John Guthrie as assistant coach of my brothers' team before he escaped to Univ Georgia and thence to become SEC Head of Basketball officials.
Sorta fortuitous I got into officiating, albeit late in life. Can't help but think destiny finally found me
.
Those of you who know me may justifiably think differently!!!
Happy Easter and Pesach
