Sad, melancholy or perhaps hopeful story that Red lost his wife of 72 years just after Christmas and was reunited with her just two weeks later.

Sad! Great coach and man. Wonder why we don’t see or hear of many “reds” or “lefty’s” anymore?

He used to let the local high school players that needed some extra PT come use Elon’s equipment and trainers.
Us Eagles sent a bunch of Warriors and Red Devils over there.
