Portsmouth-Columbus
Breakfast
5-17-2012
A few
of us met at Marshall’s in Grandview this morning at 8:30. Traffic caused a few delays all over Columbus
this morning, but four of us shared a quality time.
Dr.
Dan Ross, in coming in from Gahanna, was twenty minutes late due to I-670
traffic. I was delayed a few minutes due
to 315 south traffic. It isn’t easy to
get around in C’Town these days.
Dick
Klitch, Blaine Bierley, Dan Ross and I shared some stories.
Dr.
Ross had played HS football with Chuck Ealy at Portsmouth Notre Dame for Coach
Ed Miller. Dan was a year ahead of
Chuck at Portsmouth Notre Dame High School. They played for the highly successful Ed Miller there. Dan has been in recent contact in
a group’s efforts to get Chuck Ealy into the NFL Hall of Fame. It is deservable recognition for our fellow
Portsmouthite who never lost a game, in which he was a starting quarterback
during high school, college, or his first year in Canadian football as the qb
for the Gray Cup Champion. There was one black qb in the NFL until then, Warren
Moon. Nfl pro teams wanted Chuck to
play defensive back, not qb, supposedly because he was only six feet tall.
Dick
shared a few stories I have heard in his and my nearly weekly breakfasts. They are always classic tales.
Blaine
is the retired Upper Arlington School Adminstrator who normally regales us with remembrances of
P’Town incidents in the PHS Trojan Alumni Prints edited by Frank Hunter and circulated by Bob Cook.
Alice
Gibson told me by phone yesterday that Smokey is having a difficult time right
now due to a recent cataract surgery and she could probably not get him
there. Blaine told me that Paul Bierley,
Portsmouth’s great music writer, was becoming less transportable. Smokey became 90 last year and Paul is
probably 86.
Dr.
Ross has his hands full today due to Ohio High School Athletic Association’s TV
stories last night and Columbus Dispatch Headlines and Sports stories
today. The issue is athletic competion between non-public and public schools, an OHSAA plan turned down by vote. Nonetheless he attended our
breakfast, his faithful secretary, Molly Donnard, scheduled with us with his
agreement back in February.
It
overwhelmed in quality, in spite of my presence, even though we were only four Portsmouth guys.
Sam
P.S. : Nelson barker sent his regrets today (5-18) and said that Dick Hansgen is in Europe until August.
