I never saw Connie play .... but I watched Gene Littles a bit ... wonder if anyone else other than us two ever heard of him
? Local college star before my time (High Point College back then) and playing for the Carolina Cougars in the early 70s. Dr J with his soaring afro when he visited ... but the Kangaroo Kid (Billy Cunningham) was my b-ball idol as a pre-teen back in '72
. First 911 I ever saw (and remember) was Billy's at a Carolina Cougar b-ball camp held at Elon College that summer. Billy and some other relative unknowns .... Larry Brown, Doug Moe, Hubie Brown, and a couple of college kids... Mitch Kupchek, ML Carr (he was a total hoot as a counselor.. fun guy).
Richard Petty's kid was just another camper back then too... Kyle was/is cool too
.
Oops ... now back on topic...
I thought I was gonna do the corporate IT thing until I reached 50 then retire .... didn't quite make my goal tho'.
I had had enough by the time the IT dept was "outsourced" and rather than "rebadge" with a major corp I swore I'd never prostitute for... I quit that gig at 48. 14 years later... no regrets still .... life is good and time flies even faster now. Time is our most precious asset imo, and...
Mick was a liar
