Didn't want too much time to pass without referencing the fun side of my interests, and commenting on something that happened recently...
On Tuesday (July 19th), our old coach, the "Ol' Trench Fighter", Bill Dooley -- now the Triangle Chapter President of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame -- hosted the groups' third annual Kickoff Luncheon. The special guests were the four Triangle area head coaches, Duke's Ted Roof, NC Central's Rod Broadway, NC State's Chuck Amato and UNC's John Bunting. It was a great time for all who attended the festivities. Thanks, coach for such a great event!
After lunch, each current coach was asked by the emcee, Don Shea, some questions about the upcoming season, football memories and just plain off-the-cuff stuff. It was a real blast hearing their responses, including quite a few verbal jabs between Bunting and Amato!
It was also fun catching up with some of the ol' Tar Heel teammates from before, during and after my time! John Bunting (of course), Ted Elkins, Rod Broadway (good luck on this coming season, coach!), Tim Kirkpatrick, John Anderson (thanks for getting the table, John), Walter Sturdivant, Paul Miller, Ricky Packard, Andy Chacos, Ken Huff, Don McCauley, Moyer Smith, Joel Bradshaw and many more were all in attendance. It gave the place a distinct Carolina Blue feel. Great to see Coach Dooley again after so many years, too! Pretty neat having the Doolz and two of his former players, Bunting and Broadway on the dais!
