We flew up to Fairborn for Ed's induction
into its Athletic Hall of Fame. It was a great
weekend with friends and family. He was nominated
by a former student. Ed lettered three years in football
and two in baseball. He was selected to play in the
Ohio All Star game in Canton, OH and went on to play at
Michigan State. Upon graduation he went back to
Fairborn to teach and coach both football and wrestling.
It was fun for me too, to be back in this gym
where I was a cheerleader.
Sure was nice to have some family with us also.
Two of my sisters grandsons, James and Wesley;
James' two girls Autumn and MacKenzie. MacKenzie
had an indoor softball game later. I thought it was
appropriate for her to be in uniform at this event.
More family joined us at the presentation at the
old high school. My nephew Steve, Brenda and
grandkids Ryland and Ainsley.
The basketball team of 1970 was also inducted.
These guys were in the first graduation class when
Ed taught in Fairborn so it was really nice to
also reconnect with them
Our dear friend and Ed's "little brother"
Barry Hall flew up from Texas to be
with us.
The one who made it all happen, the old
coach, Lloyd "Punky" Williams, a
Hall of Famer in his own right.
