Nelson, Wenzel, Baker, Petersen and Freelon. It’ll be the players coach knows, is loyal to and trusts, plus Freelon because she’s the tallest of the talented/experienced portal group, and we need a forward.

A maroon sport coat with maroon & gray striped tie! Couldn’t be more obvious. He wants us!

It looks like it is pronounced Sh’pella Bray’chellee . It said: “To pronounce Špela, say "SHPEH-lah". The "Š" is a "sh" sound, like in "show". The "e" in "spela" sounds like the "e" in "bed.” "Brecelj can be pronounced with a stress on the first syllable as BREH-chel-y or BREH-chel-yee as the “c” has a “ch” sound..”

continue full game play without counting any more scores, if both teams agree. Concession Innings? What’s the downside?

They seemed more confident I’m sure because they thought playing a newly assembled VT team would give them an advantage. Our shooting went cold. It happens. That cost us the game, nothing else. If we had shot at least a consistent mid-forties percentage for the game we would have beaten them, bigger and better or not.

and trim it with white, which ruins any orange. Solid Burnt Orange with Chicago Maroon trim is spectacular, distinctive, one-of-a-kind and we don’t need no stinkin’ white anywhere.

orange jerseys and/or pants. We don’t need the white accents since burnt orange contrasts with and therefore trims Chicago maroon very well, and vice-versa. And why in the world would we have a ‘white out’ game? It’s not one of our colors and is way over-used. How about when we wear grey we wear it as our legacy color and we use only original VAMC grey and trim it with burnt orange and Chicago maroon!

Big Stone Gap and Appalachia. Been a long time but as I remember its only maybe 20 ft long. Also, there is a smaller Natural Bridge in Lee County, I think in the Flatwoods area.

banquet room lower level where civic and school groups had meetings with dinner. Usually 3 or 4 of us would work by setting up room, place settings, buffet line etc., then serve attendees, bus the tables when the dining part was over, then while they were having their meeting we would close off our service station and clean up, send the dirty dishes and implements back upstairs via the dumbwaiter. But the food; all the food had to be disposed of – it had all been paid for by the contract and Lendy’s would not re-use or re-sell any of it whether touched or not. It was ours, the waiters: the chicken, whole big strawberry and pecan pies, etc., etc., etc.. We were to take it with us or throw it away. You can imagine how popular I was showing up at O’Shaughnessy around 10 pm about twice a week with more bags than I could carry of this stuff. Also, we were paid by a gratuity, a percentage of the contract price, added to the bill, and divided by ever how many of us worked the banquet, usually 3. The average for me was between $25 and $40, which would be $250 to $400 or more today. I’ve been trying to remember the manager’s name (and I will eventually) and I think it was Len, maybe Les. A truly great guy. And I remember one of the other workers was a really pretty girl from Christiansburg, Sandra Altizer.

went supernova, Richard E. Milhous Nixon died, and fittingly, my birthday.

Saylor Poffenbarger. She seems Duffy's type.

that’s virtually assured to continue for her next year. All her other options are really good, but speculative. She’ll be back.
