Guess who was seen at Subway today !!? He came to Williamston in 1967 ( we were HS Freshman). He was 25 years years old at that time....full of fire and enthusiasm. He made a difference in the lives of many people as a coach and later as a school administrator. I am certain he would enjoy receiving a greetings card from some of us 71ers...especially the athletes. BTW....when he "smiled for the camera"...he had a mouth full of sandwich !! :) "times...they are a-changing"...
