Wishing
Several weeks ago Mom gave me a file folder with a couple of Sports Illustrated magazines. They were dated 1966 and 1991. The feature articles were about Texas Western (now UTEP) winning the NCAA finals in 1966. it was the first all black team in college basketball. Pat Reilly (celebrated player and coach of the LA Lakers and the Miami Heat was on the losing team.
Dad had kept these magazines as souveniers and showed them to me a few years ago, but I don't recall ever reading them. I did last weekend. It's a good story in and of itself, but Dad's interest in sports and UTEP made it even more fun.
I wish I could talk with him about it.
