COACH HECHT - LEE CORSO
Nancy:
You are a cinch to get this before Lee Corso even sees it. We got a problem with pictures that we have been waiting on since Christmas.
Dear Lee:
That was a great show you put on. The speech was fabulous. The introduction, when you had me stand and take a bow, drew a tear to my eye. It brought back so many memories.
Red Tobin, whom I so admired. Len Brown, another little guy like you, who starred in the Cotton Bowl, and was the only Missouri player mentioned, as being all over the field, as a defensive back, and starting quarterback. Brownie, later became a successful horse trainer. Trained for Earl Weaver and me.
Joe McNulty, who put the paddle to your backside, which probably didn't impress you nearly as much as it did the rest of Jackson High School. I think you and Joe Brodsky were caught going off to, or coming back from Cuba - BC. - before Castro, and didn't know what the bidet was in the toilet. Of course, I didn't either at the time.
My daughter,Pam,. enjoyed the show too. We both scoured the paper the next day for a mention of your talk. the Star-Telegram did not have a mention of your name. We were shocked. They mentioned Bell, and the other Coaches, but not one word about Lee Corso, the leading speaker, and in our opinion, the best speaker of the day. Or any day!! The Star-Telegram seems adept at this sort of coverage, but I couldn't believe it. Anyway, Lee, we loved you, and can understand, why you are Mr. ESPN.
Well, the disc Penny promised, didn't arrive today, but it will tomorrow, and after we get it developed, it will get mailed. Give our regards to Betsy and the boys.
Pam's youngest daughter, is getting married in May and has purchased a home near where Joe and Joyce Brodsky once lived out here.
Our fondest memories,
Bill & Katie (Speedy Hecht)
PS: Nancy: Chop this where you need to but you can use any of it if you wish. Yes, we did go to the dinner and it was delicious - first class. Give our regards to Broadway and Benny Gordils and John Nenezian and all those that Katie didn't mention.
