Judging from your posts tonight neither do you.

I only have a Yearbook from Goldsboro High School which has Mr. Andrew Griffith's photo in the faculty section. He taught English there when my father attended.

Coincidentally, I also have a yearbook from Ramses High School (I think is the name of the school) from Birmingham Alabama, that has Louise Fletcher's senior photo. My mother was best friends with her younger sister growing up and they went to the same school.

Also a signed Chicago Wolves game program from team members of the 2008 AHL Calder Cup Champions

I have a HOF autograph also. My Grandfather was a friend of Enos Slaughter. He signed his book for me. Enos was from Roxboro NC...where my GF lived.

Ramsey.

I have the original EKG reading of Neil Armstrong's heart as he took his first steps on the moon. It's also signed by him.

My grandfather was a doctor for the apollo missions.

Yep... That's it. I haven't dug those books out in years.

Home of the Rams. One of my school's rivals.

Small world. Last year(?) when ECU played in the Birmingham bowl, my husband and I drove by the house she and my grandmother grew up in. It is still there, but I was surprised to see that it is almost in the shadow of the UAB medical school. It looked soooo much smaller than I remember from my childhood. I doubt it will be there much longer. There are only a few houses in the neighborhood left there now. I don't remember the house number, it is 13 or 113 South Street. (I think)

Thanks for the memory jog!

ETA: the address was ??? South 13th street. I can't remember the house number.

They call UAB the University that Ate Birmingham for a reason.

Yeah, 13th st. South runs right through UAB's shadow for several blocks. Ramsey's still up on the hill, though.

Fun fact: The Rams stopped playing football in the mid-'70s and started back up 3-4 years ago. A big impetus was band parents lobbying the administration for more events to see their kids march.

Pistol Pete use to come to Campbell BBall camp every year. He regularly put on demonstrations highlighting all the ball handling drills he did. It must have been about 1968 when I was in camp. Needless to say we were extremely pumped up to see him and we literally chased him out of the gym. He retreated into the coaches office and we waited outside the door. He climbed out the window, but someone spotted him and we ran after him again. When it was clear further pursuit was hopeless I returned to the spot under the window of the coaches office and scooped up some dirt. So I had dirt that Pistol Pete walked on. It was very important to me at that point but over time it seemed silly and I eventually threw it away. Now I wish I had kept it.

My brother did pick up a yearbook on e-bay from his lost year. His grades were poor and he couldn't get accepted at NC State where his father coached so they enrolled him at Salemburg Academy in eastern NC. He was the table tennis champ at the school that year. Of course Press then went to LSU to coach and took Pete with him.

Cool stuff. Maravich also played some ball at Daniel High School in S.C., rival of my father's high school (Pendleton) while his daddy was Clemson coach. I think Pistol was at Daniel when it integrated.
