1946 Born in Vienna Hospital, Spitalgasse, Austria. Earliest photo of me - Jan 47.
1960 Downtown with Gary and his father to Ernie's shoestore. I walked to De where I played for 1C; they lost 56 - 10 and I made 2. Gary came to watch our game. Went in after two minutes and played the rest of game with 11 points in our 56 - 24 loss to 24C. Treated Labiak and Smith at Bridgeman's. I challenged Labs to eat a La La Paplooza. Bussed back in evening to game with Gary - De won.
1961 Su - High = 50°F. Dad and I went to see "Skin of Our Teeth" by Wilder at De (Ball, Labiak and Ward were in it).
1963 Gary and I went to De 52 - Winona 51 game (he gave me a card). "Moose" Evans broke his ankle when he landed on Tim Holker, who was knocked unconscious (our stars - that's why it was close).

1975 Sean took the day off. Donna Mae gave us her car, Disney World employee pass and guest tickets. Parked at the Contemporary Hotel and took the monorail to the Magic Kingdom. Saw the Tiki Birds, then we missed getting onto the Steamboat ride where Leroy was playing. So we did the Pirates of the Caribbean, Hall of Presidents and Haunted Mansion. Met Leroy for lunch. Walked around Tom Sawyer's island and sat in on a set by the Aunt Polly Trio. Got back to the mainland in time to see the parade. Road the Skyway to Tomorrow Land. Went through the Carousel of Progress, Circle Vision 360° and "If You Had Wings". Bought a Goofy basketball shirt on Mainstreet. Fell asleep during the Walt Disney Story. Stopped at Buena Vista Village and there was Leroy playing at the Country Club.
