Jack Plymale on New Boston, Portsmoputh and UK

Sam, New Boston had a running back the same year we had a good team
they did also.. They really had two good running backs. One was Keith
Gaspich, later a doctor in Portsmouth and Pat James. The Bear had a
history of making college guards out of high school fullbacks, which
he did with Pat at UK. They stayed together for as long as the Bear
was in the business. Pat as an assistant coach. A bunch of our guys
including me, Fout, Lemon, Nick Butt, Dave Spriggs
, Gene Heath all worked at the N&W freight station onthe weekends. Pat
James and a couple of other New Boston guys worked ther too.. Pat was
a great guy. Jack P.
