Now, you made me cry, Jack!
How great our man, Doc!
The Portsmouth area and I are so proud of Jim Fout, Jack Plymale, and Stephen "Doc" Yeagle and their football ilk! (I must add the name of another great Trojan footballer and departed friend, Gib Lakeman). Pointy ballers of the nth degree!
I was so honored when Jim Fout let me sit in the seat of Paul Walker with you three at an OSU fb game. Paul Walker, Ohio's great Middletown bounceyball coach, considered you guys superstars for getting him the Middletown job and he used to share those seats with you. Of course Paul Walker coached you guys to an undefeated football season before going to Middletown after the Big War. You guys tied Middletown 0-0 that season, and that is all their selection commitee wanted to talk about in their interview of Paul!
Only a football game? Yeah, but guided by a higher source IMHO!
Jim Fout's interview story is in the book Doc is holding- "Excellence in Athletics in the Portsmouth Area".
Jack Plymale's wonderful email story of some pre and post war era Portsmouth Trojan greats is also in my "SamKatBlog 2008" book. P'Sports from my steel trap mind, which has spent time on the bottom of the ocean and has become a little rusty and forgetful- if not on the written page.
Again I am humbly honored by the picture. The great "Doc", Miss DuPuy's pet gentle giant, was visiting P'Town once more through my book. If I must sincerely say? "Golly gee, Mr. P"! Would your mentor, Bert Leach, accept those words as poetry?
From the bottom of my heart, I Thank you good friend!
SamKat- Sports fan of the wonderful 2011 Kentucky Final Four bounceyballers team and another great coach, John Calipari of the Coach Adolph Rupp ilk.
