I had rotar cuff surgery on my shoulder January 13, 2011. Funny story my surgeon played football for Warren G. Harding HS. He graduated HS in June 1971. He remembered Arnold Brownlee said he was the best back he ever faced. He went on to play for Joe Paterno at Penn State.
ARNOLD AND I MET AT LAFFAYETTE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THE THIRD GRADE, HE WAS NEW TO THE SCHOOL WHEN MS. SIRUSS INTRODUCED ARNOLD BROWNLEE IN FRONT OF THE CLASS AS OUR NEW STUDENT. AT RECESS TIME HE WAS STANDING ALONE LEANING AGAINST THE BRICK BUILDING O F THE SCHOOL. WE WERE PLAYING KICK BALL AND I NOTICE HIM AND I WENT TO HIM AND INTRODUCED MYSELF AND HE WAS QUITE BUT SAID HI, AND I SAID TO HIM COME ON YOU CAN PLAY WITH US AND WE WERE FRIENDS FOR LIFE.
IN OUR CIRCLE WAS SPEEDO-WILLIE BONNER, RALPH CHAPMAN, GEORGE DELOACH LINWOOD COLLINS-(DECEASED) ED WALTON, IVAN WILSON DWIGHT SUTHERLAND, CHUCK BELL, ALFRED GRAY AKA (POPS) RONALD SADDDLER, JAMES SMITH, RONALD WILLIAMS, CECIL JAMES, FRUITCAKE, BLACK WALT,
ED AKA BLUE (DECEASED), SANDY GREEN, BIG HEAD TOMMIE MCNEAR, DONNEL COOPER AND DONALD BRACXTON (DECEASED).
I REALLY MISS THE TIMES IN WOODHILL PARK WITH ARNOLD AND ALL THESE GUYS SWIMMING, SKATEING, PLAYING BASEBALL ABD MOST OF ALL FOOTBALL! "I MISS THOSE DAYS" "I MISS ALL THOSE GUYS" WE WERE ALL TOGETHER IT SEEMED LIKE EVEYDAY. "YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT"
