HOKIE75-79

when he was at VT, he did one of the more amazing things during recruiting.

we were recruiting Allen when he was at Oak Hill..Buzz went to one game and got in the opponents line at the end of the game to shake Coach Smith's hand and Allen's hand. When Coach Smith's first grandchild was born, Buzz sent his daughter a childrens's book and inscribed it with:" when she grows a little, have her grandpa read this to her!" I did not like how he left VT, but we knew if one of the Texas teams came calling, he would be gone. I have always been impressed with him. Remember him telling our players how they would stand for the National Anthem?
