Grandson Tony & Coach Brown



I continue to work through my 1999 pictures. This is one taken on the 4th of July when we had family here for our 50th wedding anniversary. The Seward 4th of July parade goes past our house and we have a group of "regulars" who watch it from our yard and driveway. Some of these friends were close friends with Ron Brown who continues to serve on Bo Polini's Nebraska staff as Coach of the running backs. He has over 20 years experience as a Nebraska Coach and inspirational leader. He was recognized a year ago last fall when Nebraska played an emotional game with Penn State at College Station. Coach Brown led a Unity prayer with members of both teams gathered on the field. At the time I took the picture, we wondered if Grandson Tony may come back from Indiana some day to play for Coach Brown but it wasn't to be. Tony had an outstanding HS Succor career as a Goalie but never played football. He also competed in cross county. A year ago he did well in his first Marathon in Indianapolis. He will graduate this spring from Indiana University at Bloomington. Since he is our only Grandson, we hope to go back for the event.
