What a Friend!

Postby FordtoTolbert » Wed Jun 27, 2007 6:04 pm

..a buddy just dropped off something at the house that he thought I would enjoy. While he was wandering through an antique store, he noticed a copy of the 1948 LIFE mag with Doak on the cover...very cool!! The article is wonderful. The pictures of Doak, Kyle and the rest of the backfiled looks like 4 NYC models....artilce references the Mustang Club, did not know the MC had been around that long. Makes me long for the good old days when we worried about the Ags and Horns, now I just hope we can beat Arkie State...Long Live Floyd Lewis.

I've got two copies of the Life Mag with Doak on the cover. Got 'em on ebay. Great conversation pieces! Glad you've got a copy now, too, FtoT. You'll enjoy it!

36 rotunda

I picked up a copy of the 1936 Rotunda on Ebay for 15 bucks or something. That's one I recommend.

Actually, there's something I thought was very interesting outside of the 1935 championship team being featured in the yearbook, but I'll put it in another thread.
