Memorable basketball moment

I’m not much of a sports fan, but in the 1930s, I did have a little interest in basketball. I recall a time when something unexpected happened, and I was lucky enough to be in the audience at that time.

There was a basketball team made up of local high school graduates called “the Town Team.” I can’t recall if my brother Vernon played on the team. He did play on the La Conner High School team, and he recalled playing against Edward R. Murrow, at that time, who was living in Edison. They were somewhat mismatched, since Murrow was tall and my brother was short.

The town team was very popular wit...
