I just want to say thanks to all the people who organized the English School Reunion. We all had a good time. I met people I hadn’t seen in 50 or 60 years. It was great to meet and talk about the old times.

I am sorry for the ones who knew about the reunion but did not show up. They missed a great time.

It was well worth the drive from South Carolina to attend. Again I say many thanks to all who helped organize this reunion.

Edward B. Smith will be playing Adolph Rupp, (1901-1977)  “The Coach”, on Monday, Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the Lodge Lounge at General Butler State Resort Park.

 During the 42 years Rupp coached at the University of Kentucky, he raised basketball to near-religious status. Basketball took its place next to horses, coal and bourbon as one of the cultural icons that characterizes the state. Rupp’s teams won 880 games, four national championships and one Olympic gold medal.
